Submitted by Ivan Martinović on Mon, 01/09/2012 - 03:58
Just few days before North American International Auto Show in Detroit, where this car will be shown to publicity for the first time, we have first leaked photos.
Clearly inspired by Evos Concept and Aston Martin, new Ford Fusion will be recognized by it's slim front lights and aggressive body lines. This car will also feature new Line Keeping system developed by Ford entirely. With a help of front-mounted camera, car will be monitoring the road, and if it decides that driver drifted out of the line, it will sent light vibrating signal to the steering wheel to alert the driver.
Ford has initially unveiled the engine line-up for the Fusion that includes two turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines with a displacement of 1.6-liters and 2.0-liters, a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four cylinder, plus hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.
The 2.5-liter unit produces 170HP and 170lb-ft (230.5 Nm) with a six-speed automatic driving the front wheels.
The 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine produces 179HP and 172 lb-ft (233Nm) of peak torque while returning fuel economy figures of 26 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. It gets a six-speed automatic transmission and features a stop/start system. The 1.6L model is offered only with front-wheel drive.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine churns out 237HP and 250Nm lb-ft (338.9 Nm) and is paired with a six-speed SelectShift auto transmission and will be optionally available with an all-wheel drive system that can send more torque to the rear axle, making it the performance version of the range.
The 1.6L and 2.5L models are offered only with front-wheel drive, while the 2.0L Turbo will be optionally available with an all-wheel drive system that can send more torque to the rear axle, making it the performance version of the range.
The Fusion Hybrid’s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine has been replaced by a new 2.0-liter unit that also operates on the more fuel efficient Atkinson cycle. Furthermore, the first generation’s nickel-metal hydride batteries have been ditched in favor of a new, lighter and more powerful lithium-ion battery pack.
Top speed in electric-only mode has been increased from 47 to 62 mph (75 to 100 km/h while fuel economy is expected to be best in class with 47 mpg in city driving and 44 mpg on the highway, beating the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Hyundai Sonata by 4/5 mpg and 12/4 mpg in city and highway respectively.
Joining the Hybrid model is the new Energi plug-in hybrid that promises return more than 100 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent), which Ford says is at least 8 MPGe better than the Chevrolet Volt and 13 MPGe than the projected number for Toyota’s plug-in Prius.
The all-new Fusion/Mondeo will be available with an array of high-tech safety options, like adaptive cruise control, active park assist, lane keeping change and blind spot information systems, as well as the latest version of the SYNC and MyFord Touch infotainment systems.
The 2013 Fusion will go on sale in the U.S. at the end of 2012, while the global market Mondeo will begin arriving in early 2013.

I am 14 and every time I go
I am 14 and every time I go to the toilet I have to force my stool out, sometimes having to use my own fingers which comes away covered in bright red blood. I'm not sure it's hemorrhoids as I never really feel itchy but it is very painful and the toilet is sometimes filled with blood. I think I may have just split it open but I would like to have another opinion before I go telling people I know about it. Please help!.
