What Changed

The 2010 Fusion wears updated styling on the inside and out. Exterior changes include a new front end with a more pronounced grille and a domed hood. The revised rear styling features new taillights and a new trunk lid. Revisions to the interior include a new instrument panel, new center stack, and new door trim. New 2.5L four-cylinder and 3.0L V6 engines paired with six-speed transmissions improve power, acceleration and fuel-efficiency over prior models. A long-awaited full hybrid model pairs the 2.5L four-cylinder engine with an electric motor propulsion system for exceptional fuel economy. A new Sport model offers the 263-bhp 3.5L V6 found in the MKZ for the first time in the Fusion.
