What's New for 2008
A host of new features await you in the 2008 Fusion.
Exclusive Ford Sync™* Groundbreaking hi-tech innovation: This voice-activated, hands-free communications and entertainment system integrates your Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone and nearly any portable media player. Visit www.syncmyride.ca for full connectivity details.
Ambient Lighting Package Provide a touch more atmosphere − in your choice of 7 different hues − whenever the mood strikes. Create an engaging glow in the front and rear footwells along with the front beverage holders. (A colourful, late availability option.)
Stand out Style The Sport Appearance Package* is a truly special option. Charcoal Black interior trim is unique with contrasting red stitching – extending to the leather-wrapped steering wheel and centre console. Select red-splashed cloth seat inserts. Or go for the optional leather-trimmed seating that dazzles with rich red-leather inlays.
Safety isn’t an option. Indeed, every single safety feature comes standard. At its core, Fusion boasts an advanced, energy-absorbing safety cell. Should you ever experience a mishap, the steel cell channels crash forces away from you and your passengers. Carefully constructed crumple zones, side-intrusion door beams, and robust rocker panels play major roles in the protection picture. Particularly important for peace of mind.
Performance & Convenience
Me time doesn't take a backseat. Feel pampered every day you drive a Fusion.
Supremely Quiet. Silence is golden. That was the mantra of the Ford engineers who worked tirelessly when it came to stifling noise and vibration in the 2008 Fusion. Extensive use of sound insulation in key areas and sound-damping mastic under the floor reduces road and wind noise intrusion. In addition, the specially designed side mirrors, deflect wind downward away from the windows to help reduce wind noise.
Under The Skin. The Fusion offers a lively 160-horsepower I4 engine and 5-speed manual transmission, a partnership with equal parts of excitement and efficiency. The V6 model comes with an adrenalin-boosting 221-horsepower and a standard 6-speed automatic transmission.
Suspension A multi-link 4-wheel independent suspension system with front and rear anti-sway bars limits lateral forces for more composure. The suspension system provides a smooth ride and added control for precise and confident cornering. It also keeps suspension movement at a lower plane relative to the trunk floor, eliminating the need for large shock towers that reduce trunk cargo space.
Comfort Features. You would expect to pay more for features such as power adjustable heated side mirrors, speed-sensitive windshield wipers, a message centre with trip computer, six-way power driver’s seat and steering-wheel mounted audio controls for the AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system, but they all come standard on the 2008 Ford Fusion.
Flexibility On-Call. While you should always be careful storing anything oversized, the handy fold-flat front-passenger seat allows you to readily transport items up to 2.74-m (9-ft.) long. Or really, really big.... take your pick to best describe the low-liftover trunk. Reach inside, and simply pull the quick release levers: The rear seatbacks fold down automatically.
Integrated Keyfob. The 2008 Fusion features an integrated keyfob, combining the vehicle key and the remote keyless entry system’s keyfob transmitter into one compact and easy-to-use piece. To protect your Fusion from prying hands, the standard SecuriLock® anti-theft system encodes the ignition key with one of billions of security codes each time the engine is turned off.
Safety
Every single safety feature comes standard with Fusion to help give you and your passengers confidence while on the road.
Safety First. Working with computer-aided design, Ford engineers built the Fusion to exacting standards to help achieve impressive crash worthiness. The safety cell diverts crash energy away from occupants. Seamlessly-welded steel sheets in the B Pillar bring added strength. The comprehensive restraint systems – found in the standard Personal Safety System™* and the standard Enhanced Safety Package – puts the Fusion at the forefront of safety technology. And because avoiding a collision is your best line of defence, Fusion has standard 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) for all models and electronic traction assist for all V6 models. Foam Blocks. Energy-absorbing foam blocks behind each door trim panel are strategically positioned at chest-and hip-level to cushion the blow from a side impact collision.
Safety Features The safety story for the 2008 Fusion is the Enhanced Safety Package which is now standard on all models. It adds three key embellishments to Fusion’s already impressive list of standard safety and security features. The seatback-mounted side-impact airbags help provide torso, head and chest protection for front-seat occupants in certain side impacts. Included as well is the two-row side curtain air bags, which help provide head protection for outboard occupants in the front and rear seats. To complete the package, a perimeter anti-theft alarm system detects attempts to gain illegal entry through the doors, hood or trunk, and automatically activates the headlamps, flashers and horn when triggered.
Crush Rails. Front and rear crush rails are engineered to deform progressively, which helps absorb energy in the event of a collision. Rocker Panels. Fully boxed, dual-phase rocker panels take energy not absorbed by the bumper and crush rails and channel it rearward, under the passenger compartment, and away from the vehicle occupants. to B-Pillars Seamlessly welded two-piece B-pillars use high-strength steel in the top section to help prevent intrusion in a side-impact collision; lower tensile-strength steel in the bottom section helps absorb energy and direct it away through the rocker panels.
