The 2020 Ford Fusion was a standout when it was first introduced and is still an above-average option for a midsize family sedan. However, competitors have improved over the years and now surpass the Fusion in a few key areas.

One of the best rentals

2019 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I travel a lot and of course drive a lot of rentals I wanted to take some time to let you know this is one of the best sedans I have driven for 2019. The reviewer compares it to the Accord, 6 and Camry I put it more on par with the Kia Optima which this car matches in value and tech but the fusion blows it away in performance even the base model. I can't get over how roomy and …

A spacious and comfortable cruiser

2019 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have owned my current Fusion for about two months and I love it. I purchased an SE with the Appearance package, which adds fog lights, 18” painted alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and an upgraded cloth/vinyl interior. For 2019, the 1.5L Ecoboost engine is standard in the SE and I find it to be more than adequate for my needs, providing plenty of power for city driving as well as highway …

One Great Mid-size Sedan

2019 Ford Fusion SE 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I replaced a large luxury vehicle with the New Ford Fusion SE. I do enjoy the Fusion for comfort and ride. At times, the 1.5 Turbo seems like it is struggling on the Freeway, but I was used to a 4.7 V8. The turbo is fast out the gate at a traffic signal, however, it usually has to start first. The automatic shut off/turn on takes a little getting use to, but I have faith. All in all …

I love my S!

2019 Ford Fusion S 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

Sure, I could have paid a little more for another model, but the S model is more than adequate to get me from a to b and it has almost all of the safety features that a more expensive model has. While the pick up is not the greatest, it most definitely holds it own on the open road. I am more than pleased with my choice, the car is classy looking, turns a lot of heads and is just a joy …

Safety

Our experts like the Fusion models:

Ford's MyKey: Uses multiple keys to set parameters for secondary drivers, such as teens and valets.
Lane Keeping System: Makes minor corrections to steering when the car senses you are drifting out of your lane.
Pre-Collision Assist: Warns the driver of an imminent front collision. Can automatically apply the brakes as well. It's standard on all Fusions.
