Ford Fusion Safety Technology
Ford knows you want to be safe when you’re behind the wheel, that’s why the Fusion includes numerous driver assist and safety features that achieve excellent safety ratings in the midsize car segment.
In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the Ford Fusion its highest rating of five stars after its performance in a variety of crash tests performed by the industry authority. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety supports those findings, and gave the Ford Fusion their Top Safety Pick designation after it earned the top marks of “Good” in each of five individual crash tests.
Beyond the standard suite of five airbags, anti-lock brakes and brake assist, traction control and electronic stability control, the Fusion includes advanced safety technologies, some of which are only available through Ford. For example, the Fusion includes the Ford MyKey as a standard safety feature. This allows for keys to be pre-programmed with features that support safe driving, such as speed limits and the audio can be prevented from starting until everyone in the vehicle has engaged their seatbelts.
Available or standard safety technology available in the Ford Fusion include blind spot monitoring, automatic high beams, lane keep assist and rear cross traffic alert, as well as adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, rear parking sensors and an automatic parking function. This system, called active park assist, will locate parallel parking spots that are large enough for the Fusion and when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, will automatically steer itself into the parking space, with the driver in charge of the accelerator, brakes and gear shift along the way.
With so many safety and driver assist systems that are highly recognized by industry authorities, and the reliability of Ford’s warranty, you’ll be able to confidently sit behind the wheel of the Ford Fusion. You can also be confident in the shopping experience you’ll have at Huntington Beach Ford, thanks to the respect and personal attention you’ll receive from the moment you arrive on the lot to the moment you drive off in your new Ford Fusion.

Ford offers five trims in the Fusion lineup, along with additional options to help drivers find the perfect Fusion to meet their needs. Here’s a closer look at what each trim offers.
The Ford Fusion S starts things off with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with standard front-wheel drive. This starter trim includes the Ford MyKey safety system, along with a rearview camera, and the cabin features the voice-activated SYNC interface, push button start, a four-speaker stereo system and a six-way adjustable driver’s seat.
The Ford Fusion SE is a step up, but it brings the same standard engine as the S-model. If you want to upgrade the performance, you’ll need to select an upgrade to all-wheel drive and your choice of two EcoBoost engines, including the popular 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The SE adds to the cabin and infotainment features with a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and six-way power-adjustable seat for the passenger, as well as a 4.2-inch instrument display, a six-speaker audio system and satellite radio. One upgrade package brings proximity key entry, remote start, heated front seats and leather upholstery. A separate package brings the SYNC 3 infotainment system with touchscreen, a premium 11-speaker sound system, rear parking sensors and automatic climate control. Automatic high beams, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert, a 110-volt power outlet and a heated steering wheel are included with another package, and additional options like a moonroof, automatic park assist and adaptive cruise control can be added.
The Ford Fusion Titanium moved up one more run on the Fusion lineup ladder with a 10-way power-adjustable seat for the passenger, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12-speaker sound system, HD radio, proximity key entry and remote start, the SYNC 3 system and rear parking sensors all as standard fare. Additional options include ventilated front seats, a moonroof, voice navigation, a heated steering wheel, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high beams, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and automatic park assist.
The Ford Fusion Sport should actually be called the Ford Fusion Titanium Sport, because it takes the Titanium model features and pushes the performance by including all-wheel drive the a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 engine as standard.
Finally, the Ford Fusion Platinum brings all of the available features into the Fusion, and adds premium leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, and voice-activated navigation to the other SYNC 3 infotainment features, cabin amenities and safety technology.

Feel Unprecedented Performance With Ford Fusion
When you are behind the wheel of a vehicle, you want to feel capable and in control. This is something that is only accomplished with a vehicle that has the ability to perform far better than its competitors. Luckily, the Ford Fusion is able to do exactly this thanks to its many impressive characteristics that contribute to unprecedented performance.
Four Is Better Than Two
In order to truly maximize a vehicle's performance potential, it needs to utilize a capable wheel drive that is able to do more than any simple front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive vehicle can. With the Fusion, it uses Intelligent All-Wheel Drive that is able to perform substantially better by using modern technology.
Various sensors placed on all four wheels are able to constantly deliver information about torque and traction performance in each wheel. So if the system ever senses that wheelslip is about to occur, then it can transition torque and traction control between the front and rear wheels to ensure that you always remain in control of the vehicle.
Adaptive Driving
The conditions of a drive can change at any moment, which is why vehicles need to be able to adapt on the fly. In order to do this, the Fusion uses Electric Power-Assisted Technology. The various sensors placed throughout the vehicle are able to constantly monitor the road and report back any changing conditions that require an adjustment from the vehicle.
One of the many features included in the system is drift control, which is able to automatically detect any crosswinds or crowned road surfaces and can adjust the vehicle’s performance in order to match these new conditions and maintain control. There is also the active nibble control, which is able to eliminate excessive vibration in the steering wheel so that you can enjoy a more calm drive and a precise steering ability.
If you are interested in experiencing a drive that is unlike anything you will find in any other model, then go out and purchase the Ford Fusion today.
Experience Impressive Interior Design With Ford Fusion
In order for someone to truly fall in love with their vehicle, it needs to have an interior that is capable of delivering all of the components that they both want and need during a drive. When it comes to impressive interiors, there are few that can compete with that of the Ford Fusion. Its many spectacular features come together to form an interior that is sure to amaze everyone who rides in it.
Easy Temperature Control
Whether you are driving in the middle of summer or the dead of winter, the outside temperature is rarely on your side. This means that your vehicle needs to work hard to create an interior temperature that is far more comfortable than whatever it is like outside. Thankfully, the Fusion comes with a front area that is able to both warm and cool you to help reach the ideal temperature.
The driver and front passenger seats have any available cooling system that is able to lower the temperature of the seats during the hot summer months. However, when winter rolls around, the vehicle also comes with an available heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, which is able to keep the hands nice and toasty even when the temperature starts to significantly drop.
Space-Saving Design
It can be really annoying when a vehicle does not come with enough room up front and creates a cramped area around the driver and front passenger. However, you never have to worry about this with the Fusion thanks to its strategic design of the front area.
Instead of sacrificing certain features to make room for general storage purposes, the vehicle is able to redesign certain aspects to provide room while still keeping all of the features that you love. With its rotary gear shift dial, far more space is available in the center console area, which means that you can store whichever items you need up front with you.
If you are looking for a vehicle that will have you loving each and every drive, then look no further than the Ford Fusion.
