The Ford Fusion is a mid-sized sedan that fits between the compact Focus sedan and the larger Taurus in Ford's lineup. However, the Fusion may be the most important car that Ford makes as it competes in the hotly contested mid-sized segment. The Fusion offers distinctive styling, a wide choice of powertrain and a good value. With prices starting below $20,000, the Fusion is a good alternative to other mid-sized models and compact models. Higher trim levels add features and powertrains that compare favorably with the segment leading Toyota Camry. The Fusion's four cylinder and hybrid models offer exceptional fuel economy. The availability of all-wheel-drive distinguishes the Fusion from most other vehicles in the segment. The 2012 model is the last year of this body style before a major update in 2013.
