2013 Ford Fusion Out.


Ford has announced pricing for the much-anticipated and redesigned-for-2013 Fusion, which goes on sale this fall; we now know it will start at $22,495. That amount nets a front-drive Fusion S powered by a 170-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder, mated to a six-speed auto. The base Fusion S also includes Sync with MyFord, a tilting and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, 16-inch steel wheels, keyless entry, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, an audio input jack, and LED taillights. Read on for a full rundown of 2013 Fusion pricing.
The rest of the lineup:
  • Fusion SE: $24,495; adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, six-speaker audio system with satellite radio, 10-way power driver’s seat. Also available with a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine making 179 hp and a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic for an additional $795. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost makes 237 hp and pairs with a six-speed auto; it starts at $26,745.
  • Fusion hybrid: $27,995; SE stuff plus a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, a CVT transmission, and hybrid-specific 17-inch aluminum wheels.
  • Fusion Titanium: $30,995; adds 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, decklid spoiler, dual exhaust, heated leather sport seats, leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, two-way power passenger’s seat, backup camera, remote and push button start, sport suspension, MyFord Touch, dual-zone climate control, and a 12-speaker audio system. All-wheel drive is available as a $2000 option.
A $1250 Appearance package, which includes 18-inch five-spoke wheels, a decklid spoiler, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and contrasting red stitching, is available on all trim levels except the S and the 2.5-liter SE. The Luxury pack is another $2300, and adds a 10-way power driver’s seat, leather heated seats, a two-way power passenger’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and fog lamps. The Luxury stuff is subject to the same availability restrictions as the Appearance pack, and it’s equipment is standard on the Titanium.
The new Fusion’s base sticker puts it right in the thick of things in the mid-size sedan segment. The Fusion’s base price is more than $1000 higher than that of the the VW Passat ($21,280), a car which won our most recent mid-size comparison test. It’s also just higher than the Honda Accord‘s ($22,270), but less than the Chevy Malibu’s ($23,150) and the Toyota Camry’s ($22,815).
