fuel-efficient driving experience by coaching them on how to
optimize performance of the 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury
Milan hybrids
With the Fusion and Milan Hybrids and the Escape and the
Mariner Hybrids, Ford has doubled the size and volume of its
hybrid lineup, making Ford the largest domestic producer of
full hybrid vehicles in North America
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 29, 2008 – Ford Motor Company announced
today that the new 2010 Ford Fusion will offer consumers a more
fuel-efficient powertrain lineup, including an all-new hybrid
model that is expected to achieve class-leading fuel economy.
The new Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrid models also
offer owners a more connected driving experience, thanks to
SmartGauge with EcoGuide, a unique new instrument cluster
execution that helps coach drivers to improve fuel efficiency.
“Offering consumers more fuel-efficient vehicle choices,
including maximizing the efficiency of our gasoline-powered
engines, improving and increasing our hybrid vehicle offerings
and increasing our use of fuel saving technologies such as
six-speed transmissions, is part of Ford’s plan to deliver
technology solutions for affordable fuel economy for millions,”
said Derrick Kuzak, Ford’s group vice president for Global
Product Development.
Improved gas engines
For 2010, Fusion and Milan will offer Ford’s all-new Duratec
2.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 175 horsepower; an
enhanced 3.0-liter V-6 with 19 more horsepower than its
predecessor; and a 3.5-liter V-6 that pumps out 263 horsepower
on the Fusion Sport model.
Fusion models equipped with the 2.5-liter I-4 engine are
expected to deliver at least 3 mpg better on the highway than
the Honda Accord and 2 mpg better than the Toyota Camry.
All are paired with six-speed transmissions for up to a 10
percent fuel economy improvement and a host of other
industry-first technologies aimed at improving performance while
gaining fuel economy.
Next-generation hybrid system
Ford’s next-generation hybrid propulsion system builds upon
the proven success of the Escape and Mariner hybrids, delivering
class-leading fuel economy for the all-new 2010 Ford Fusion and
Mercury Milan hybrids that debut later this year.
With the new arrivals, Ford will be the producer of the most
fuel-efficient mid-size sedans and SUVs in America – and the
Fusion Hybrid is expected to perform at least 5 mpg better on
the highway than the Toyota Camry hybrid.
The overall system upgrade allows the Ford Fusion and Mercury
Milan hybrids to operate longer at higher speeds in electric
mode. The hybrid vehicles can operate up to 47 mph in pure
electric mode, about twice as fast as some competitors. Plus,
the city driving range on a single tank of gas is expected to be
more than 700 miles.
“With the new Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrids, we are
now able to offer even better range of travel on battery power
at a greater speed, thanks to a more efficient, seamless
transition between the battery-powered motor and gasoline-driven
engine,” Kuzak said. “These new hybrids will exceed expectations
on all fronts – fuel efficiency, comfort, convenience and
overall drivability.”
With the addition of the two new hybrid sedans, Ford will be
the largest domestic producer of hybrid vehicles in North
America. All Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models will be built
at Ford’s Hermosillo (Mexico) Stamping and Assembly Plant.
SmartGauge with EcoGuide
Ford’s SmartGauge with EcoGuide, an innovative new instrument
cluster, provides real-time information to help drivers maximum
fuel efficiency.
Ford collaborated with IDEO and Smart Design, two world
leaders in helping consumers connect with technology, to develop
the instrument cluster. Job One was properly integrating the
driver with the cluster’s science and technology.
The driver is immediately engaged by the SmartGauge liquid
crystal display (LCD) screens, on either side of the
center-mounted analog speedometer, with a special greeting that
combines illumination and graphics.
EcoGuide then uses a multi-layered approach to coach the
driver to maximum fuel efficiency. A tutorial mode is built into
the display and helps the driver learn about the instrument
cluster and the hybrid in a whimsical way that does not
overpower.
For instance, drivers can choose one of four data screens to
choose the information level displayed during their drives. They
are:
Inform: Fuel level and battery charge status
Enlighten: Adds electric vehicle mode indicator and
tachometer
Engage: Adds engine output power and battery output
power
Empower: Adds power to wheels, engine pull-up threshold
and accessory power consumption
All levels can show instant fuel economy, fuel economy
history, odometer, engine coolant temperature, what gear the car
is in and trip data, including trip fuel economy, time-elapsed
fuel economy and miles to empty.
Update - FORD FUSION CHALLENGES JAPANESE
BRANDS AND WINS
Major Marketing Campaign to
Highlight Consumer Test Drive Results
Ford Fusion challenges Toyota
Camry and Honda Accord in a
head-to-head drive organized by
Car and Driver magazine for its
subscribers.
Consumers rate Ford Fusion with
all-wheel drive first in “Styling,”
“Handling,” “Performance,” and “Fun
to Drive” categories.
Test results will be foundation
of major, nationwide marketing
campaign that begins today.
Dearborn , Mich. , Jan. 4, 2007 – The
2007 Ford Fusion emerged the winner in
key areas like “styling,” “handling” and
“fun to drive” after a head-to-head
comparison test with Japanese sedans
organized for subscribers by Car and
Driver magazine. Now, Ford is
making the results the centerpiece of a
major, national marketing campaign for
the car.
“In its first year, the Ford Fusion
has been recognized by third parties
like J.D. Power and Associates,
Smart Money magazine, Strategic
Vision and the New York Times
for its styling, handling, quality and
value, and that’s helped turn it into a
sales success” said Barry Engle, general
manager, Ford Division Marketing. “Now,
the Fusion is an even better value and
has class-exclusive new options like
all-wheel drive, so we’re going directly
to consumers to show them just how good
the car is.”
More than 600 magazine subscribers
participated in the first ride and
drive, which was designed and presented
by Car and Driver magazine in
the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area
in mid-December 2006.
Consumers drove three vehicles: a
2007 Honda Accord EX-L V-6, a 2007
Toyota Camry XLE V-6 and a 2007 Ford
Fusion SEL AWD V-6 on a closed course.
Before the drive, consumers rated the
Honda and Toyota vehicles higher than
the Fusion. But after the drive,
opinions of the Fusion improved
dramatically, leveling the playing field
with the competition. Fusion also
emerged as the clear winner in key areas
including “Styling,” “Handling,” “Fun to
Drive” and “Performance.”
The results of the event will be
featured in a marketing campaign
breaking today in variety of national
media, including newspapers, cable and
network television, radio and the
Internet. The first television ad,
titled “Fusion Challenge,” touts the
Fusion’s winning results against the
Accord and Camry. The second television
spot, “Something Different” will offer
enthusiastic reactions from participants
in the drive and other ads will follow.
The print ads use the headline “This
test had a lot of turns. And one big
twist.” The campaign was created by
Ford’s agency, JWT Detroit.
Results of the consumer polls and
other information will be available on
the Web site:
www.fusionchallenge.com. The site
will also feature current sales and
marketing offers, Fusion product reviews
from MSN Autos, Yahoo!Autos and
Edmunds.com, and video commentary from
Fusion Challenge participants. The
second ‘Fusion Challenge’ will take
place at the end of January on the West
Coast.
“Over the past several years, we’ve
conducted numerous subscriber ride and
drive events and the results from this
program confirm the Ford Fusion’s well
earned place among the segment leaders,”
said Rob Houghtlin, vice president and
publisher, Car and Driver. “The
dramatic increase in brand perception
amongst the attendees was significant.”

Overview
Ford Fusion distinguishes itself in the most
competitive vehicle segment with its standout
exterior design and engaging driving dynamics.
Breathing a fresh attitude into the American midsize
car, Fusion brings to the segment good fuel economy,
advanced safety, clean emissions and roomy interior
space — all at an outstanding value.
For 2007, Fusion takes some other bold steps.
Front-seat side air bags and side-impact air
curtains will be made standard on all models shortly
after the 2007 model launch, as will an anti-theft
perimeter alarm system.
Fusion also enhances driver confidence — and sets
itself apart from competitors — by offering an
all-wheel drive system that optimizes traction on
slick surfaces or for improved handling in a curve.
And Fusion is ahead of that curve with its standard
audio input jack and available DVD-based navigation
system and SIRIUS satellite radio.
The Fusion takes a central position between the
award-winning Focus and the flagship Five Hundred
sedan. The strong, muscular three-bar chrome grille
sets the tone for a bold look in the midsize sedan
segment.
Fusion is available in S, SE and SEL trims and is
built in Hermosillo, Mexico.
Design and Equipment
The Ford Fusion is the company’s first fully
“digital” car. It was completely designed,
engineered and tested for manufacture in a digital
environment — using the most advanced design tools
available for precision, high quality and
efficiency.
By drawing on these new tools and the company’s
global product development resources, Fusion’s
engineering team was able to bring the car to market
faster than traditional vehicle-development
programs.
These new tools also helped the engineers that
reach their goal of maximizing the spaciousness for
all occupants to challenge the class leaders in key
interior dimensions such as front shoulder room,
rear-seat legroom and trunk space.
Fusion designers also worked hard to ensure
passengers can slip into the back seat with ease. In
a packaging exercise, the designers even donned size
14 shoes to confirm that someone with that foot size
could enter and exit without brushing the B-pillar
scuff plate or the back of the front seat. Their
goal was achieved by pushing the rear door as far
back toward the C-pillar as possible. It’s this kind
of attention to detail that contributes to the
overall package ingenuity of the Fusion, including
such standard ergonomic niceties as a
height-adjustable driver’s seat and a tilt and
telescope steering wheel.
In addition to carrying people in comfort, Fusion
is capable of making quick work of cargo. The roomy,
15.8-cubic-foot trunk boasts a flat load floor and
low liftover height with compact decklid hinges that
won’t crush boxes or groceries. The rear seats
feature a standard 60/40 split and fold-flat
function with spring assist, allowing pass-through
access to handle long items and provide
best-in-class storage space. What’s more, the
ability to handle extra-long items has been
increased for 2007 in the SE and the SEL, where a
fold-down front seat back is now standard.
A choice of three distinct interior themes allows
customers to personalize their driving environment.
Owners have a choice among carbon graphite, wood or
piano black accents. The inviting interior also has
optional leather-covered seating surfaces with
contrast stitching. Fusion’s interior has many
storage options, with a pop-up bin in the top of the
instrument panel, a clamshell armrest, six cup
holders, rear-seat armrests and one-touch 60/40
fold-flat rear seats.
On all models, a variety of high-end features is
available, including a tilt and telescope steering
wheel, heated front seats, and a six-disc, in-dash
CD player that also reads MP3-encoded audio discs. A
standard auxiliary audio input jack, available
SIRIUS satellite radio and a DVD-based navigation
system will all be available shortly after the 2007
model launches.
,.
Powertrain and Chassis
The availability of all-wheel drive on V-6 models of the SE and
the SEL is the big news for 2007. But it would not be the
achievement it is if Fusion did not have such solid underpinnings.
Fusion’s available all-wheel drive system was tuned with an
emphasis toward driving performance while also offering confident
all-weather driving. The system continuously monitors vehicle speed,
throttle input and steering angle to seamlessly deliver torque to
the appropriate wheel even before wheel slippage occurs. The system
also helps eliminate torque steer and helps balance the vehicle when
cornering.
Satisfying ride and rewarding handling begin with a stiff
chassis, and Fusion boasts torsional rigidity 12.7 percent higher
than the already outstanding base architecture. This allows the
four-wheel independent suspension to absorb driving harshness and
respond more precisely to steering inputs.
Four-wheel power disc brakes are standard, and a four-sensor,
four-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS) with electronic brake
force distribution is optional.
The soul of any car is its engine, and Fusion offers a choice of
Ford’s 2.3-liter, Duratec 23 inline four-cylinder (I-4) or
3.0-liter, Duratec 30 V-6. Both feature aluminum construction,
dual-overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, intake variable-cam
timing and electronic throttle control to deliver smooth, spirited
performance along with good fuel economy and emissions ratings.
The four-cylinder engine delivers 160 horsepower and can be
paired with a five-speed manual or — unusual in this segment — a
five-speed automatic transaxle. Also good news for the environment,
when mated to the automatic transaxle, the Duratec 23 I-4 is rated
as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) in California. It is the
Ford brand’s third PZEV application, after the Escape Hybrid and
Focus PZEV. The standard Duratec 23 and five-speed manual and
automatic return 23 miles per gallon in the city and 31 mpg on the
highway.
For even more power, there’s the 221-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6,
which is paired with an advanced six-speed automatic transaxle.
Fusion was the first car in its class to offer such a sophisticated
automatic. With this wide, 6:1 overall span, vs. 4.5:1 for a typical
five-speed, the six-speed automatic delivers impressive performance
as well as 20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway.
Safety and Security
Fusion benefits from some of the latest safety technology
available — from cutting-edge metallurgy to air bags. Shortly after
the 2007 model launches, front-seat side air bags and side-impact
air curtains will become standard on all models, as will an
anti-theft perimeter alarm system. Additional standard advanced
safety technology includes Ford’s Personal Safety System® with
dual-deployment front air bags, energy-absorbing safety belts and
load-limiting retractors.
An example of the lengths to which Ford engineers have gone to
enhance occupant protection can be seen in the steps they took
designing Fusion to meet stringent new side-impact tests.
Fusion’s B-pillars are made by welding two blanks of steel
end-to-end, resulting in a stronger top of the vehicle and more
flexible bottom. This facilitates energy absorption during a crash
below the level of the occupants. The strong steel structure at the
torso level and above helps prevent intrusion into the passenger
compartment.
