Why it stands out

The 2016 Ford Fusion stands out as a midsize sedan that blends sharp styling, strong road manners, and a roomy cabin. Ford’s second-generation Fusion was overhauled for the 2013 model year, and by 2016 it still offered the qualities that made the car appealing in the first place: capable handling, plenty of space, and a broad range of engines and features. It was also available with all-wheel drive on the top two engines, which adds to its appeal for buyers who want a sedan that can handle foul weather with more confidence.

For 2016, the Fusion’s engine lineup included the 175-horsepower 2.5-liter Duratec, the turbocharged 1.5-liter EcoBoost with 181 hp, the 240-hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost Turbo, and hybrid powertrains rated at up to 188 hp. Most second-generation Fusions used a six-speed automatic transmission, while hybrid models used a continuously variable automatic transmission. Ford had also added a wide range of driver aids over time, and the best-equipped versions were 2019 and 2020 models, so the 2016 car sits a little earlier in that progression. Even so, it still benefits from the Fusion’s generous packaging, including 38.3 inches of rear legroom and a 16 cubic-foot trunk.

The 2016 Fusion is especially attractive to shoppers looking for a used sedan that feels more polished than its price might suggest. Owners commonly praise its smooth ride, comfort, reliability, and spacious interior, along with useful standard equipment. At the same time, it is not the most luxurious car in its class, and some drivers have noted minor design flaws, rearview camera issues, and limited acceleration in certain versions. For buyers who value style, comfort, and balanced everyday driving, though, the 2016 Ford Fusion remains a compelling choice.
