Ford has added two models to its mid-size Fusion sedan lineup for 2017, including the V-6-powered Sport and top-line Premium models, adding twin-turbocharging and all-wheel drive as enhancements.

Ford will also update its Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi models with new software that delivers a more refined and engaging drive, while more efficient electric motors should improve fuel economy. Government fleets, including the City of Sacramento, have added these vehicles, according to a Ford spokeswoman.

The Fusion Platinum provides greater levels of refinement in a mid-size sedan that's powered by the 2.0L EcoBoost and includes all-wheel drive. Instrument and door trim panels are wrapped in antiqued Cocoa leather, and the hand-wrapped steering wheel is finished in premium Venetian leather. The vehicle also arrives with a unique grille finished in Magnetic paint and 19-inch polished wheels.

The Fusion Sport is a performance sedan unlike anything in the segment with a twin-turbocharged 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 delivering a projected 325 hp and 350 lb.-ft. of torque. All-wheel-drive Fusion V-6 Sport is projected to make approximately 100 lb.-ft. of additional torque and nearly 50 more horsepower than the 3.5L V-6 engines in Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach.
