Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ford Fusion Diesel is a practical and comfortable vehicle that excels in several key areas. The ride quality is significantly improved over its petrol counterpart, thanks to the use of longer but softer springs, which absorb road irregularities effectively. The steering feels weighted and provides excellent feedback, especially on highways, although it can be slightly unstable in cross-winds. The diesel engine, while not the most powerful, offers good responsiveness at low revs and acceptable performance, though it lags behind the Fiesta in terms of driveability. The cars high ground clearance is a major advantage, making it adept at handling Indian road conditions. Overall, the Fusion Diesel is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and practical vehicle.

The Ford Fusion Diesel, during its time in the Indian market, was priced competitively. The ex-showroom price for the base model was around 7.5 lakh to 8.5 lakh, depending on the trim and features.

Ford Fusion The Perfect Car

I bought the vehicle as a second hand 2009 model which had clocked 1.6 lac kms in the year 2013. Till date there is no hassle. Service is done by Ford Dealership, Coimbatore. Now I have clocked 2.6 lac kms, the cruising speed in highway is 120 plus kmph. The stability is awesome. Also, the mileage 18 kpl plus. With regard to the mechanical and suspension spares it's available with the dealership it self. Head light assembly and Danger light assembly are not available. The maintenance cost is cheap. It's an awesome vehicle.

Best Features: Engine, Transmission and Suspension

Good & bad on ford fusion

Thirumalai Subramanian | 4 years ago

I recently bought a used fusion diesel. I like the vehicles spacious interiors and ride comfort. Mileage is 15 km/h. It is a pleasure on highways. So far I drove it to a max 90km/h. Wish the company would relaunch this model. Having a tough time procuring spares for the vehicle. The gear shifts at lower speeds are not smooth. Wonder if anyone could suggest me a solution on this. AC is adequate.

Best Features: Roomy interiors. Easy for elders to sit and come out.

Pros: Good ride comfort, Suitable for highway rides. Spacious seating capacity. Decent boot space

Cons: Spares availability is big challenge. Gear changes are not smooth during low speed.

Got highway mileage up to 17.5 KMPL on a stretch of 300 KM's. Ford introduced this semi SUV too early when the market was highly sedan oriented in this segment and brought in diesel version too late, probably Ford India was too excited with the success of Ford Fiesta in mid-2000. Ford could not keep competition pressures and lost both models in a race with Hyundai & others.

Best Features: Easy entry exit for a 6' sardar, reasonable boot space for 4 passengers, carries wheel chair comfortably.

Pros: Early version of semi SUV that probably was too early in sedan dominated Indian market in 2004.

Cons: Manufacturer disowned it earlier than the prospects in Indian market.
