2007 Ford Fusion Review
Standard side airbags and available all-wheel drive mark 2007 for Ford's midsize sedan. Fusion shares its basic architecture with the Mercury Milan and the premium-midsize-class Lincoln MKZ. Fusion offers S, SE, and SEL models. The S model has a 160-hp 4-cyl engine. SE and SEL come with the 4-cyl or a 221-hp V6. The 4-cyl uses a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 5-speed automatic. The V6 has a 6-speed automatic. All 4-cyl Fusions are front-wheel drive. V6 models are available with all-wheel drive. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard; ABS is optional. Traction control is standard on AWD models, optional on front-drive V6 Fusions. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags are now standard; they had been optional. A sunroof and leather upholstery are optional for SE and SEL.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Midsize Cars represent the heart of the U.S. car market. Most are price-sensitive, conservatively designed, family oriented sedans and wagons.

Our Best Buys include Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mercury Milan, and Saturn Aura.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Saturn Aura.
News
Detroit gossips say Fusion and sister Mercury Milan should offer a 3.5-liter V6 for 2008, perhaps to replace the current 3.0 V6. The 3.5 is already standard for the related 2007 Lincoln MKZ. A hybrid power option is also still expected for 2008. The gas/electric powertrain is likely to emulate that of the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid SUVs. The 2009 Fusion and Milan are said to be in for a cosmetic freshening if current plans hold.
