Fusion S and Hybrid S
The 2017 Fusion is one of Ford’s most stunning mid-class sedans with its sculpted exterior and retail price starting at $22,120. The base trim offers a 2.5-liter Duratec I-4 engine with 175 horsepower, and the Hybrid S has a 2-liter iVCT I-4 Atkinson cycle engine and an 88-kilowatt electric motor. When choosing between the two engines, look at their fuel economy estimates. The hybrid gets almost twice the highway mileage as the gas engine, which is 43 miles per gallon in the city, compared to 21.
SE and Hybrid SE
Starting at $23,250 the Fusion SE comes standard with a 2.5-liter Duratec I-4 engine; however, it offers an available 1.5-liter or 2-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine that gets slightly better horsepower than the stock engine. A 10-way power driver’s seat and the brand new for 2017 SYNC 3 voice-activated technology sets the SE apart. From $26,100, the Hybrid SE offers fuel economy estimates around 42 miles per gallon combined.
Titanium and Hybrid Titanium
If you’re looking for a Fusion with more horsepower, then the Titanium might be the choice for you. With its 2-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine that puts out 245 horsepower, it still gets the same gas mileage as the Fusion S and the Hybrid S. With features such as LED signature lighting and 18-inch aluminum wheels, the base starting retail is $30,250 and $30,630 for the hybrid trim.
Sport
With its athletic handling, the performance tuned 2017 Fusion Sport offers the most powerful engine in the line-up.

True to its posh name, a black and chrome mesh grille and large, 19-inch polished wheels add a touch of class. Suggested retail for the gas engine starts at $36,750, and $37,130 for the hybrid.
