Ford unveiled the facelift for the second generation of the Fusion at the 2016 North American International Motor Show as a 2017 model.
After Ford decided to build the European Mondeo as a Global car, it tried the same with the first generation of the Mondeo, which was translated in the U.S. as the Ford Contour/Mercury Mystique, and the results were under expectations. But the Fusion was a different breed. It was a midsize sedan that offered enough room and comfort for four adult passengers.
The sleek design was built in the European Design Centers and adapted for the American market. Its angry-looking headlights and the 3D pattern on the grille made the car look more stylish than its class. The Fusion Energi featured a similar exterior with the rest of the Fusion range, with only a few details that were different.
Inside, the Fusion Energi was well-garnished with the SYNC 3 infotainment unit. It was able to connect to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphones. For the 2017 model year, the Fusion Energi featured a rotary knob for the gear selector, which was installed on the center console. One of the downsizes of the Energi version was the limited trunk space due to the battery.
The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor that's fed by a lithium-ion battery pack. The combined output of 195 horsepower was sent to the front wheels. The plug-in hybrid vehicle could have been completely recharged in 2.5-hours.
