Ford Fusion (CD338)

Ford Fusion (CD338). 2006 to date (prod. unknown). 4-door sedan. F/F, F/A, 2261 cm³ (4 cyl. DOHC), 2967 cm³ (V6 DOHC). Basically a new-generation Ford Telstar: Mazda 6 platform, replacing Ford Mondeo Mk III (CD132) in most of Latin America (except Argentina) and providing Ford North America with a successor to Contour. Less advanced than comparable Mondeo (CD345), but conveniently and more cheaply put together in México. Attractive design, probably best of Ford’s mid-decade US sedans. Four-wheel-drive models a bit weighty, need good use of accelerator to get decent performance.

Manufacturing location: Hermosillo, Sonora, México

Marque: Ford | Model: Ford Fusion | Predecessors: Ford Contour Mk II, Ford Mondeo Mk III
