Used 2019 Ford Fusion for Sale near Rockford, IL

First introduced in 2013, the Ford Fusion received a substantial facelift in 2017. It gets a second, less-significant one for 2019, along with content updates. It does battle against the Chevrolet Malibu, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Passat. The main visual differences between the 2018 and 2019 Fusions are at the front and rear. The 2019 model sports reworked bumpers, a tweaked grille, and revised taillight trim. Other than that, it’s the same venerable family sedan it’s always been, with room for up to five people. The Fusion is available with a few different engines. The most basic one is a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine capable of 175 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. A turbocharged 1.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine good for 181 hp and 185 lb-ft is also available. You can also choose a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine with 245 hp and 275 lb-ft, or even a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 with 325 hp and 380 lb-ft. Whichever engine you select, a 6-speed automatic transmission is the only choice. Upper trims also include paddle shifters. Front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard. All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional with the 2.0-liter and standard with the V6. When it comes to fuel economy, the 1.5-liter engine is the thriftiest of the bunch, managing 23 mpg city, 34 highway, and 27 combined. For 2019, the Fusion comes in S, SE, SEL, Titanium, and V6 Sport trims. The base S kicks things off with 16-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, a 4-speaker audio system, and LED taillights. The SE comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, satellite radio, a 10-way power driver’s seat, a 6-way power passenger’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The SEL bundles 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, heated mirrors, leatherette upholstery, memory seating, and premium audio. The Titanium comes with cooled front seats, leather upholstery, a Sony 12-speaker audio system, and navigation. Finally, the V6 Sport tops the range with unique sporty front and rear fascias, 19-inch wheels, a blackout treatment, pothole-mitigation technology, and leather-and-faux-suede sport seats. For 2019, the entire Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of technologies comes standard on every Fusion. It includes a reversing camera, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and automatic high beams. Options include reversing sensors and adaptive cruise control. Despite its age, the Fusion earned a 5-star overall crash score results from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Good scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Fusion remains a solid choice for shoppers interested in a sedan.
