For the first time, the Fusion was presented to the public in 2002 at the Geneva Motor Show. The novelty of the Ford concern represents a bold design decision. The Fusion is a prime example of the cross between an urban hatchback, an SUV and a compact van. The name of the car was chosen appropriately, it translates as an alloy, once again, emphasizing the unique mixture of different variations in one car. So the Fusion chassis is borrowed from a hatchback, a large interior space and a tall body from a compact van, and the features of an SUV are visible ingreat ground clearance and large wheels. The car was built on the Ford Fiesta platform, but its dimensions significantly exceed this model: length - 4020 mm, width - 1708 mm, height - 1503 mm. The indisputable advantage of Fusion is the large volume of internal space. This allows not only to carry more things, but also to provide a sufficient level of comfort for passengers.

Experts consider Fusion a model that opens a new class of cars UAV (Urban Activity Vehicle or "Car for active urban driving »). It is characterized by excellent visibility, maneuverability and agility. The latter quality is provided by two gasoline engines of the Duratec family (1.4-liter, 80 hp and 1.6-liter, 100 hp) and a common-rail turbodiesel with 68 hp.

The Fusion is truly versatile, with a spacious and versatile interior that converts a seat into a table in seconds, and a storage box under the seat cushion.

The Fusion's trunk is very comfortable and capacious (337 liters). Opens either from the outside with a key or drives from the placefor the button. For a complete picture, we add that, unfortunately, there are no special fastening devices in it.

Three different transmissions are installed on Ford Fusion vehicles: the Durashift Automatic transmission, the new generation Durashift EST (Electronic Shift Technology) manual transmission and the Durashift 5-speed manual transmission.

The Durashift Automatic is a latest generation 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with exceptionally smooth gear shifting for a smooth and comfortable ride. Automatic transmission is aggregated with a 100-horsepower 16-valve Ford Duratec engine volWith a capacity of 1.6 liters, this combination gives the Ford Fusion and Ford Fiesta smooth gear changes and quick response to increased fuel delivery. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 11.7 seconds and top speed is 179 km / h.

The new automatic transmission also provides modes for driving in various road conditions.

Kick-down mode. In this traditional mode, the automatic transmission delays shifting to a higher gear or, conversely, downshifts for confident acceleration if the accelerator pedal is depressed to the extreme position. On returnpedal to standard travel position, the transmission reverts to the normal operating pattern it was operating in prior to kick-down. This mode was designed to provide maximum acceleration at the request of the driver without first having to switch between automatic transmission modes.

Driving mode in mountainous terrain. By comparing the throttle position with the engine speed and vehicle speed, the BUT is able to determine the angle of rise and incline for the optimal choice of gear and the moment of its shifting. Such aThe burner allows you to maintain a constant speed of the car without frequent gear changes and finding the most optimal one for confident movement. Within this mode, there are two algorithms for the automatic transmission, which depend on the steepness of the slope.

Downhill driving mode. In this mode, the throttle position, engine speed, vehicle speed are analyzed, and when the brakes are triggered, the automatic transmission shifts to a lower gear to create additional braking force due to engine braking. Such alThe operating mode allows you to more accurately control the process of moving down a slope or when towing a trailer in mountainous terrain.

Operation mode in cold and hot weather conditions. Cold operating mode eliminates the possibility of shifting to 4th gear until the transmission oil is at operating temperature. This mode of operation reduces the wear of transmission components during a cold start, which extends the service life of the automatic transmission. The transmission oil temperature sensor can also beto operate the mode of operation with additional cooling in case of excessive heating of the automatic transmission during operation.

Overdrive mode. The overdrive mode button is located at the bottom of the automatic transmission gear selector in the car and allows the driver to exclude the automatic transmission shifting to 4th gear, as a result of which the car's movement becomes sharper and more dynamic when driving at high speeds or in situations where frequent shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. Moreover, the automatic transmission can be locked in 1st or 2nd gear forFor safe driving on slopes and on snowy roads.

The transmission is controlled by a separate computer and functions in conjunction with the engine control unit. Engine and transmission settings are continually adjusted to suit the driving conditions and driving style of the driver.

The 1.4-liter Ford Fusion is equipped with a Durashift EST robotic gearbox. Basically, it is a manual transmission with automatic mode. It is believed to be ideal for activeabout driving in the city and has a number of advantages over traditional "mechanics": in the absence of a clutch pedal it is much easier to overcome city traffic jams in the "start-stop" mode, it cannot be confused with the gear and it is almost impossible to stall. Compared to the "automatic" Durashift EST provides more dynamic vehicle handling and significant fuel economy.

Ford Fusion is delivered to Russia in two trim levels - Trend and Elegance. Trend includes: front airbags for driver and passenger, side airbags usedsafety, ABS, lockable gas tank hatch, power steering, immobilizer, tinted glass, central locking with D / U, adjustable steering column, three rear head restraints, leather steering wheel, heated front seats, power front windows, button for opening the tailgate on the dashboard and two-tone bumpers.

In 2004, the engine line-up was expanded with a 1.6-liter 16-valve Duratorq turbocharged diesel engine producing 90 hp. This is the latest collaboration between Ford Motor Company and PSA Peugeot Citroën. The 1.6 TDCi engine is lightweight as much as possible - the entire structure is aluminum, light-alloy. The diesel is powered by the third generation common rail system. It has a double camshaft and an electronic throttle control system. Meets the latest Euro IV standards - CO2 emissions are 119 g / km. Fuel consumption is 4.5 litra per 100 km. The engine will be available on three- and five-door versions of the Ford Fusion.

Ford also announced a new Fusion Plus modification, which differs from the base model with a new plastic body kit, with upgraded bumpers and sills, a new radiator grill, body-colored side moldings, tinted glass and 16-inch wheels.

There were also changes in the interior. More expensive and high quality materials are used in the decoration. And the list of additional equipment added devices as audioa system with a DVD-player and even a game console X-box.

The set of engines for the new items remained the same - 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter petrol engines with 79 and 98 horsepower respectively, or a new 1.4-liter turbodiesel with 67 horsepower. Both 1.4-liter versions of the Ford Fusion Plus will be available with a semi-automatic transmission that has a manual shift mode.

In 2005, under the Fusion name, Ford began producing a solid mid-size sedan, which had already changed two names - Futura and Four Hundred. The situation with the name etogcar became critical for Ford - no matter what name the company chose, there was always someone who had already registered the rights to such a name and was demanding payments.

The Fusion is based on the Ford 427 concept with a chrome grille and headlamps. The Fusion sedan will take its place between the Focus and the Five Hundred. By the way, the Fusion sedan is the first model of the company created entirely with the help of digital technologies.

The design turned out to be a lot conservative, but universal, in the sense that both in Europe and in America the Fusion sedan is not usedchildren look like a foreign element. The exterior of the Fusion looks extremely harmonious. The corporate identity is observed one hundred percent.

The interior has the same austerity and laconicism. The Fusion boasts one of the most spacious cabins in its class, including front-seat shoulder and rear-seat legroom. The car interior can be made in one of three colors. Five full-fledged seats, decent upholstery materials - everything is simple, but tasteful. The car looks solid and expensive. Much credit goes to this.about the number of chrome parts, stylistically similar to the Ford 427 concept car. Telescopic steering column, heated seats and a six-disc CD changer are available on all Fusion sedans.

The Fusion sedan's torsional rigidity is increased by 12.7%, which allows the fully independent suspension (front - double wishbone, rear - multi-link with steering effect) to provide smooth control. The model is equipped with disc brakes and ABS with an electronic brake force distribution system.

There are two engines, both gasolineand Duratec: 2.3 liters (160 hp) and a three-liter 210-strong "six". Less powerful will come with a 5-speed manual transmission or 5-speed "automatic", and more powerful - only with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Both engines feature a lightweight aluminum body, four valves per cylinder, and electronic throttle control.
