New 2022 Ford Fusion Review and Price

Posted by Alice Charlotte on April 29th, 2022

2022 Ford Fusion Let\'s see the sales, shall we? 166,045 units were sold in 2019, down from 173,600 and 209,623 units in 2018 and 2017. Previously, Ford sold more than 300,000 in the United States alone.

As past commercial successes turned into slight failures, Fusion along with Lincoln MKZ and even full-sized Continental is no longer in production at the time of writing.

Don\'t worry, though, as the Fusion will return in 2021 as the 2022 model year as a rival Subaru Outback station wagon with all-wheel drive and jacked-up suspension. Codenamed CD542 by Blue Oval, the Fusion Active\'s rear suspension will consist of leaf springs instead of the more modern coils.

It may seem like a drop in grade at first glance, but don\'t forget that the leaves are heavier than the rolls.

The heaviest full-size pickup trucks use them, and the Maverick unibody pickup truck will likely borrow this suspension design to challenge the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Volkswagen Tarok.

The question is, how will Fusion look if Ford keeps the sedan option? Kleber Silva has the answer to that in the guise of speculative renderings that borrow a bit from the Explorer upfront, Peugeot-like LED signatures for the headlights, and Jaguar-Esque taillights.

The Brazilian pixel artist has also done wonders with the exhaust design and window trim as well as removable door handles.

However, pay close attention to the rendering. Are you considering a more suitable car in the rental fleet than the Escape or Explorer? Or better said, are you going to raise the $ 23,170 before destination cost on the Fusion instead of a proper mid-size sedan like the Camry or Accord priced at $ 1,000 more?
