Ford Fusion 1.4 TDCi Diesel (Diesel)

Drive to your office in style in the Ford Fusion - India's most preferred car manufacturer. A Ford car in India is an ideal family as well as personal choice any time. Spend a few minutes to read the New Ford Fusion 1.4 TDCi Diesel (Diesel) Review here.

This grand presentation from Ford is a fusion of the looks of an SUV with the grace of a Hatch! Available in two models, the Fusion 1.6 Duratec and the 1.4 TDCi diesel, the Fusion is the preferred SUV (or hatch!) for the chosen few. The Fusion comes with additional space, compact shape, new interiors, high ground clearance, and high vantage seating. This makes the Fusion perfect for driving either through congested city traffic or through the countryside.

Many prominent features on the exterior and the interior turn the Fusion into an instantly admirable vehicle. The Fusion features a prominent cubic mesh front grill that lends a gracious and admirable look. Newly styled headlamps with integrated turn indicators complete the accentuated look. There are new wide front bumpers, 15 alloy wheels, and body side mouldings that toughen the look of the Fusion. The body side mouldings prevent the sides from scratches and nicks while protecting the Fusion from nudgy city traffic.

The Fusion's large windscreen gives the driver a wide view of the road and ensures better visibility. Additionally, the front and read fog lamps render better visibility in foggy and dimly lighted conditions.

There's a lot to admire of the Fusion's imposing interior with stately dual-tone Avocado finishing, matching seat fabric, and door trim. With a soft touch dashboard and instrument panel, the Fiesta is surely the SUV to ride. Moreover, with 60:40 rear split folding seats, the boot is capable of expanding from 337 litres to 1175 litres, allowing a huge space for anything large that you wish to carry along.

The Fusion is designed for high standards of safety with its muscular body structure and reinforced framework. The body is primarily made of high strength steel that incorporates crash zones at crucial locations in the body to absorb the force in case of an impact or a collision. Additional safety features like collapsible steering column, anti-submarine seats, front and rear safety belts, and child safety locks on the rear door provide a sense of security to the occupants.

Moreover, the General Electronic Module (GEM) is the heart of advanced technological functions like central locking, windscreen defogging, engine diagnostics, and a lot more. The petrol version features the world class 1.6L Duratec petrol engine and drive-by-wire technology, while the diesel version features Ford's revolutionary 1.4L Duratorq engine with TDCi technology. Two sensible options to choose from!

Choose from a gallery of rich colours - diamond white, moondust silver, panther black, paprika red, brush steel, and mystic wine.

The Ford Fusion has a new variant in the form of the 1.4 litre Duratorq TDCi (turbo diesel common rail injection) engine. The light weight aluminium alloy makes it lighter, thus making it more efficient and an excellent performer.

The Ford Fusion Diesel features a host of superior interior, exterior, comfort and safety features like its petrol cousin. The diesel version also makes it fit the Ford Fusion's rugged Multi Utility Vehicle (MUV) image.

The Ford Fusion diesel version is a practical mix of international design, roomy and comfy interiors, making the Fusion preferred vehicle for the chosen few.

Moreover, the General Electronic Module (GEM) is the heart of advanced technological functions like central locking, windscreen defogging, engine diagnostics, and a lot more.

The Ford Fusion Diesel is available in a range of six colours - paprika red, moon dust silver, diamond white, panther black, brush steel and mystic wine.

My brother Madhava Murthy working for 3M in Bangalore has bought a Fusion. I found the back seats not all that comfortable to sit as compared to the front seats. Can something be done to improve it?
