Ford Fusion is a multi-purpose vehicle. It is an Estate by family but Ford has made its shape in the style of MPVs or SUVs. In the first impression, it looks like an SUV. In reality, it is more than an Estate. It has plenty of space at the rear for passengers and luggage like SUV. Its body frame is a decent height from the ground, so its look is close towards SUVs.
Its flat and square type structure offers great spacious cabin with plenty of useful features. Its exterior from the front grille to tail bumper is outstanding and in a great balance form. Vauxhall Agila, Honda Jazz and Renault Modus are its competitors, but it is far ahead in all dimensions.

It is a well-built vehicle with a nice exterior. The square-shaped exterior gives you a very solid appearance. Flat body without any crease or cuts has its own impression. Big headlamps with delicate front grille and side ribbons on the doors look great. Flat bottom provides you a good bottom clearance on uneven roads. It’s built is more like an SUV than an estate as I mentioned earlier, so it is flat in structure and having a box shape interior that gives a spacious look and feasible space to accommodate passengers easily interior is fully packed with useful features and equipment.
The dashboard is outstanding inbuilt with simplicity. The practicality of interior is also noteworthy. Lots of cubbies, pockets and hidden places are there to save your precious things. Space for passengers is more than enough and have good and large boot for storage of different items of different sizes. Safety wise it is a good vehicle with lots of safety kits installed in it by the manufacturer. Reliability is also good with strong body structure.
