The 2017 Ford Fusion facelift has arrived at the North American International Auto Show and it brought along a V6 engine.

It turns out the rumor was true as Ford is indeed launching a V6-powered Fusion "to leave other family sedans - including Honda Accord and Toyota Camry - in the dust." At its heart is a biturbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine generating a projected 325 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque channeled to an all-wheel drive system. The Blue Oval company emphasizes the fact it has around 100 lb-ft and almost 50 hp more power than segment rivals Camry and Accord.

Besides the stronger engine, the Fusion Sport also gets a tuned six-speed automatic transmission and a continuously controlled damping suspension. It has received a serious of cosmetic tweaks to boost its visual appeal, such as the large 19-inch wheels, blacked-out grille, and quad exhaust tips.

In other news, the 2017 Fusion facelift lineup now includes a more luxurious Platinum trim positioned above the Titanium variant. It comes with a bespoke front grille finished in Magnetic paint, 19-inch polished wheels, and antiqued Cocoa & Venetian leathers. Ford will sell the Fusion Platinum with an EcoBoost 2.0-liter engine linked to an AWD arrangement.

As for the Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi (plug-in hybrid) models, these two come with software revisions to enable a smoother and more engaging drive. In addition, the electric motors have gone through some changes to deliver increased all-electric range and improved fuel economy.

All 2017 Fusion models will take advantage of Ford’s latest SYNC 3 infotainment system, upgraded cruise control, pedestrian protection, and better parking feature with support for perpendicular maneuvers.

Pricing kicks off at $22,995 for the base Fusion, followed by the Sport trim at $34,350, and the Platinum model from $37,495.

Facelift per la Ford Fusion, da noi conosciuta come Mondeo. Aspetto di vederla in versioni più eleganti.

Modifiche azzeccate, davanti è bella cattiva.

Bella in questa versione sportiva ma non tamarra.

Migliorata, toglie quella bidimensionalità che affligge la Fusion normale. Certo, la fiancata è insalvabile, ma il nuovo inserto al posteriore ed i dettagli nella calandra (che torna sempre più ovale come negli anni '90) e nei gruppi ottici sanno nuova linfa all'auto.

Mi piace la cromatura posteriore

 

Giusto per capire cosa cambia rispetto a questa: [USA] Ford Fusion 2013

 

 

 

 

Mondeo EU: Ford Mondeo 2014

Inesistente, almeno dalle mie parti, rispetto alle generazioni precedenti.

Peccato, perchè questo berlinone tutta sostanza non è male...

Al nord c'è stata un'esplosione di nuove Mondeo e Passat.
Azzerate Croma, Avensis, Mazda6, C5 e Laguna. Resiste qualche 508.
