Motor Trend got it right when they tweeted, "This is no ordinary 2017 Ford Fusion." Along with a facelift and improved safety features, Ford's engineers also cooked up a little something for performance enthusiasts with the 2017 model-year update.
The Fusion Sport packs an insanely muscular V6 EcoBoost engine, churning out a walloping 380 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive comes as a standard feature, but for those who crave even more road-gripping goodness, a summer-only tire package will be available.
The Fusion Sport model comes on the heels of the successful Explorer Sport, which saw a dramatic increase in sales between 2013 and 2015, and, says Ford, drew in drivers who had previously preferred German-engineered performance models.
"It's not just Fusion buyers who want something hotter," said Wade Jackson, Ford Fusion marketing manager. "Owners of other midsize sedans, along with our own dealers, ask repeatedly. So buyers get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that makes 325 horsepower and a more impressive 380 pound-feet of torque."
The Fusion Sport should be coming to Grants before summer's end, so check back or give us a call at Ed Corley Ford Sales Inc.
