Fusion of SUV and a Hatchback
Thursday, January 03, 2008
Fusion has looks of an SUV with grace of a Hatchback. It comes with additional space, compact shape, new interiors, high ground clearance, and high vantage seating. This makes the Fusion perfect for driving either through congested city traffic or on highway. Many prominent features on the exterior and the interior turn the Fusion into an instantly admirable vehicle. The Fusion features a prominent cubic mesh front grill that lends a gracious and admirable look. Newly styled headlamps with integrated turn indicators looks stylish.
There are new wide front bumpers, 15" alloy wheels, and body side mouldings that toughen the looks. The large windscreen gives the driver a wide view of the road and ensures better visibility. Additionally, the front and read fog lamps render better visibility in foggy and dimly lighted conditions. It comes with dual-tone interiors with matching seat fabric and door trim.
It has 60:40 rear split folding seats, the boot is capable of expanding from 337 litres to 1175 litres, allowing a huge space for anything large that you wish to carry along. It is designed for high standards of safety with its muscular body structure and reinforced framework. The body is primarily made of high strength steel that incorporates crash zones at crucial locations in the body to absorb the force in case of an impact or a collision. Additional safety features like collapsible steering column, anti-submarine seats, front and rear safety belts, and child safety locks on the rear door provide a sense of security to the occupants.
The 1.4 litre Duratorq TDCi (turbo diesel common rail injection) engine is made of light weight aluminium alloy which makes it lighter, thus making it more efficient and an excellent performer. Fusion TDCi is a practical mix of international design, roomy and comfy interiors, making the Fusion preferred vehicle for the chosen few.
