2014 Ford Fusion: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2014 Ford Fusion
2nd generation Fusion family (2013-2020), second model year after the redesign
Ford positioned the Fusion family as a stylish midsize sedan range that mixed family-car practicality with more eye-catching design and a long feature list. What set it apart was choice within one basic body style: a regular gas Fusion, a fuel-saving Fusion Hybrid, or a plug-in Fusion Energi. Across the family, Ford leaned on upscale looks, a roomy cabin, available advanced safety tech, and a more polished driving feel than many mainstream rivals.
The 2014 Fusion range spans a straightforward gas S, the mainstream SE, the more powerful Titanium, and three levels of regular hybrid. Plug-in hybrid models pair a 2.0-liter powertrain with a 7.6-kWh battery, while upper trims add features such as leather-trimmed seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, and 12-speaker Sony audio.
