How much does the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi cost?

Is the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi a good car?

Generally — the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi earns a 4/5 user rating and a 6.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

The Fusion Energi’s appeal comes from its plug-in hybrid setup, standard LED lighting front and back, and the slight redesign inside and out. It also benefits from a bit more electric range for 2017, which helps if you want a midsize plug-in sedan for a short commute or mostly local driving.

32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Fusion Energi’s plug-in hybrid system is described as having a relatively sparse competitive field in its earlier years, but it also brings extra complexity and weight compared with a conventional sedan. Its electric range is useful for short commutes, and the gasoline engine can take over smoothly when needed.

The expert notes also point to practical ownership tradeoffs: the car’s extra weight affects braking, handling, and wear on components, and the low-rolling-resistance tires can reduce stopping confidence. For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about making sure the battery, brakes, and hybrid hardware have been maintained well.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Ford Fusion Energi?

At 73.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with visible wear. Focus on body condition, brake condition, and whether the hybrid system behaves as expected in both electric and gasoline operation.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE Luxury starts with LED headlights and fog lights, keyless ignition and entry with remote start, leather, heated mirrors with auto dimming, rear parking sensors, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Sync 3. The Titanium adds a rear spoiler, sport heated and ventilated front seats, more passenger seat adjustment, ambient interior lighting, and a 12-speaker Sony stereo with HD Radio. The Platinum adds a Driver Assist package, upgraded leather, more leather trim across the dash and doors, and available extras such as adaptive cruise with frontal collision warning and auto brake, a sunroof, navigation, and auto-parking.
• Powertrain: The plug-in hybrid setup can travel up to 22 miles on electric power alone, and the gasoline efficiency is rated at 42 combined mpg. In hybrid mode, 60 mph comes in about 8 seconds, but electric-only acceleration is much slower.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance package adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and assist, auto high beams and wipers, and a heated steering wheel. On the Platinum, the steering wheel also gains power adjustment.
• Infotainment: Sync 3 is standard, and the touchscreen is 8 inches. The system is described as easy to navigate, fast, functional, and more reliable than the old setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The gasoline efficiency is rated at 42 combined mpg, and charging takes around 7 hours on a standard outlet or 3 hours on a 240-volt charger.

Which 2017 Ford Fusion Energi trim should I buy?

The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi is offered in 3 trim levels: SE Luxury, Titanium, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• SE Luxury: This is the entry point, but it still brings a strong equipment list with LED lighting, remote start, leather, rear parking sensors, and Sync 3. If you want the lowest-cost way into the Energi without feeling stripped down, this is the trim to start with.
• Titanium: This is the best-value trim. For a relatively small step up, you get the rear spoiler, sport heated and ventilated front seats, more passenger seat adjustment, ambient lighting, and the 12-speaker Sony stereo. It’s the trim that most clearly balances comfort and equipment.
• Platinum: This is the luxury-focused choice, adding upgraded leather, more interior trim, and access to the Driver Assist package plus other high-end options. It makes sense if you want the most upscale version and are willing to pay for it.

The Driver Assistance package is optional on the Titanium and standard on the Platinum.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Ford Fusion Energi?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 86 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.18% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 73.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $10,730, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi's resale value?

The current average of $11,110 sits slightly below last year's $11,842.

That softer pricing suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively to move a used example. If you buy well now and keep the car in strong condition, you may be better positioned when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Ford Fusion Energi safe?

The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi is a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and the 2017 Fusion earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and five-star ratings in side impact and overall NHTSA testing.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Fusion Energi’s safety story is strongest when you get the full suite of safety features, including blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and assist, auto high beams and wipers, and adaptive cruise with frontal collision warning and auto brake. The cheapest path to that setup is a Titanium with the Driver Assistance package and the optional adaptive cruise.

One caveat is that the car’s extra weight and eco-friendly tires contribute to a longer stopping distance, which is worth keeping in mind if you’re comparing it with other midsize sedans.

Should I buy a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 32.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 73.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.18% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• Ford’s plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi gets standard LED lighting front and back, a visual redesign inside and out, and a bit more electric range for 2017.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of price, equipment, and safety in this model year, the 2017 is the one to target. If you’re especially price-sensitive, focus on the lower end of the range and look closely at Titanium examples, since that trim offers the best balance of value and features.
