“The Fusion Plus expands our small car line-up further
to meet European customer needs and is another example of our
commitment to extend our core products with great derivatives.
Fusion Plus fits well into this philosophy by building on the
strengths of the standard Fusion – commanding driving
position, imposing road presence, interior space and flexibility.
It combines a tougher, more contemporary exterior treatment
with enhanced rear seat flexibility and premium entertainment
options that pamper the rear seat occupants.”
Derrick Kuzak - Vice President, Product Development
Ford of Europe
Bringing a higher driving position, greater road presence and
extra space and practicality to the traditional small car was
just the beginning for the new Ford Fusion. It is now joined
by the Fusion Plus, a model that extends these strengths with
innovative interior and exterior enhancements. Main features
of the Fusion Plus include:
- Exterior design enhancements including unique alloy wheels,
a full perimeter body kit, and a unique front grille treatment,
plus privacy glass.
- An optional rear seat entertainment system with DVD, CD
and MP3 capability.
- A rear-seat activity console providing up to 10.7 litres
of additional stowage space, plus a 12-volt rear seat power
point.
- New stowage pockets for small items: one on the front
edge of driver’s seat cushion and one on the inner
face of driver’s seat backrest.
- New interior fabrics and loadspace carpet with integrated
protective runners.
- A choice of three engines, including the 1.4-litre 68
PS Duratorq TDCi, with new-generation common-rail diesel
technology, plus available Durashift EST, Ford’s new
advanced manual transmission and optional Electronic Stability
Programme (ESP).
