When it comes to sedans with high-output engines and jaw-dropping agility, you might think you have to cross the ocean for something European. That's not the case anymore, as yesterday, Ford announced the impending arrival of a new Fusion model with serious EcoBoost power, that's taking aim at certain German models with much higher price tags.
With a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine, the all-new Fusion V6 Sport produces 325 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. That's more than the BMW 535i at with a starting MSRP of just $33,475. Furthermore, the Fusion V6 Sport delivers all-wheel drive as standard equipment.
“It’s not just Fusion buyers who want something hotter,” says Wade Jackson, Ford Fusion marketing manager. “Owners of other midsize sedans, along with our own dealers, ask repeatedly. So buyers get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that makes 325 horsepower and a more impressive 380 pound-feet of torque. These consumers also crave a car that’s much more distinctive inside and out. Cross-shoppers will be shocked by the bang for the buck our new Fusion Sport delivers."
The 325-horsepower Fusion V6 Sport goes on sale at the end of summer 2016.
