For drivers of a certain ilk, it’s probably unsurprising that the release date of the 2017 Ford Fusion has caused ripples throughout the midsize sedan segment. Since its release prior to the 2006 model year, it has regularly been among the segment leaders in terms of both sales and customer satisfaction, and now that it’s due to arrive for the new model year, this trend looks to continue. So, what should you know about the 2017 Ford Fusion as it makes its debut at EVS Auto Group?

New Performance Wrinkles
The 2017 Ford Fusion is set to bow with the option of three different EcoBoost engines, along with the standard 2.5L Duratec inline four-cylinder option. (There are also two hybrid options, but this is a different topic for a different day.) New for 2017 is the 1.5L EcoBoost I-4, which adds Auto Start-Stop technology, as well as the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine, now available on the Fusion Sport.
Updated SYNC 3 Technology
For the new model year, Ford has now added the available SYNC 3 upgrade, which allows users to enjoy improved performance, enhanced voice-recognition technology, and a larger 8-inch LCD touchscreen with a quicker processor. This joins the existing SYNC Connect feature, which offers a number of convenient smartphone-enabled options.
New Interior Options
The 2017 Ford Fusion will still offer seating for five adults within its welcoming interior cabin, although it now features new interior combinations, fabrics and trim colors as well. The Fusion now offers Premium Ceramic leather-trimmed seating (with standard heating and cooling) on the Platinum trim, while Dark Earth Gray seats with Miko suede inserts have been added to the V6 Sport. Finally, the SE Luxury now offers Ebony and Medium Light stone leather seating.
