Horsepower, Torque, and Fuel Economy

Whether you want to prioritize speed, efficiency, or some combination of the two, the Ford Fusion has a powertrain that hits the spot.

For MPG, you can go in a lot of different directions. The most efficiency you'll garner from a non-hybrid motor would be the 1.5L 4-cylinder that makes 23 city MPG/ 34 highway MPG.

The hybrid 2.0L motor has Atkinson-cycle technology and registers an EPA-estimated 43 city MPG/ 41 highway MPG. For the utmost fuel economy, choose the plug-in 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid that makes 109 city MPGe/ 97 highway MPGe.

Horsepower and torque are similarly varied. The 2.5L and 1.5L engines generate between 175 to 181 horsepower and 175 to 185 lb-ft of torque. The most power you can generate in the 2020 Ford Fusion comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, which boasts 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque.

Other decisions will have to be made regarding performance, too. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are your available powertrain configurations. Plus, the transmission will be either a 6-speed automatic or an electronic continuously variable unit.
