2015 Ford Fusion Test Drive Review summaryImage

Clean, balanced proportions make the 2015 Ford Fusion look like anything but another drab rental car. Still, Ford’s full-size sedan, the Taurus, has a more attractive backside.

With few exceptions, the 2015 Ford Fusion is an excellent choice in a midsize family sedan. Dings and dents include mediocre real-world gas mileage, a couple of downgrades on the car’s safety report card, and a handful of questionable interior control choices. But how often is a traditionally boring car like this referred to as sexy?
9/10

Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The two titans of the midsize family sedan class, the cars representing vast chunks of sales, profit, and brand image-making for each automaker since time immemorial, will, every so often, discover that upstarts like the Hyundai Sonata or Nissan Altima are threatening to dethrone one or the other of them. Still, the Camry and the Accord always manage to thwart such advances, retaining dominion over the family sedan kingdom and sparring over which model is truly the best-selling one in the land.

Ford is unwilling to stand for this status quo. With the current version of the Fusion, the company has charged hard at the perennial sales leaders, offering family-car buyers a compelling combination of styling, quality, comfort, and technology. While it has yet to unseat the Camry or Accord on a sales chart, the Fusion regularly earns a spot on the list of the 10 best selling vehicles in America, putting it within striking distance of victory.

Clearly, Ford is doing something right. To remind myself just how good this car is, I spent a week driving a 2015 Fusion Titanium loaded with nearly every option and wearing a hefty price tag of $39,600. That is a heady figure to be sure, especially because most fully loaded midsize family sedans cost a few thousand dollars less, but the Fusion offers extra-cost equipment that simply isn’t available for other vehicles in the class.

If my test car’s price tag is rather eye-popping, the Fusion’s visual shock value has worn off. This remains a handsome, even sexy, car, and while it may be trite to compare its snout and swept-back headlamps to an Aston Martin, there’s no denying that the Fusion’s design is aging beautifully.

Viewed from the rear, the Fusion offers less visual drama, but clean, balanced proportions make it look like anything but another drab rental car. Still, and I might be the only person on the planet who thinks so aside from Sir Mix-A-Lot, Ford’s full-size sedan, the Taurus, has a more attractive backside.
