Ford Fusion (Europe)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Ford Fusion is an estate based on the supermini Ford Fiesta. Its increased body height makes it roomier and more comfortable for taller drivers. Some think it is a mini MPV rather than a mini estate. The Fusion is marketed in Europe and India.

A mini SUV version of the Fusion called the Ford EcoSport is produced in Brazil. It is similar to the Fusion, but features an increased ride height, off-road suspension, larger wheels and dark bumpers. Front wheel drive, four wheel drive, turbocharged 1.0L, 1.6L and 2.0L Duratec petrol engines and 1.4L TDCi diesel engines are available.

Ford also used the name "Fusion" before the launch of the European Ford Focus, in communications with contractors working on elements of that model's launch publicity. (Ford did not reveal whether the late change to "Focus" had been the result of a genuine change in its plans, or simply a desire to conceal the real name from the press until the company was ready for the launch...)
