> 2012 Fusion Features: Design

The popularity of the midsize Ford Fusion attests to its bold, dynamic design, from the power-dome hood to the familiar Ford three-bar chrome grille that complements the aggressive shape of the hood. Sport model is shown.

When you see a Ginger Ale Metallic Fusion, it's a Fusion Hybrid. 17-inch 15-spoke painted aluminum wheels and the Road and Leaf Hybrid badge are also unique features that say this is a very special Ford Fusion.

Quad-beam projector halogen headlamps are designed to focus more of the light beam in front of the car, providing excellent brightness and range of visibility for both low- and high-beam functions. Plus, they do more than illuminate your way at night. Special black bezels and chrome rings on the headlamps help blend into the three-bar chrome grille, accentuating the bold, dynamic styling of the Ford Fusion. Notice as well the fog lamps flanking the aggressive shape of the air dam. Fog lamps come standard on Fusion SE, SEL, Sport and Hybrid.

Curve Control will slow you down when it senses that you’re going too fast for a particular curve. Employing throttle reduction and four-wheel braking intervention, it’s always active in helping you maintain control around the curves. Curve Control, standard on all the Explorer models, is an enhancement to AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™.

The features in the Monochrome Appearance Package or Appearance Package enhance not only style, but handling performance as well. Included are:
• Rear spoiler

The Driver's Vision Package comes with three features that enhance visibility.
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) helps make a vehicle in your blind spot easier to see, while Cross Traffic Alert alerts you to an oncoming vehicle when you're backing out of a driveway or parking spot.
• The Rear View Camera provides a picture of what's behind you and displays it in the rearview mirror or the optional Navigation System* screen.
• Rain-sensing wipers, when activated, use an advanced optical sensor to detect the intensity of rain and/or snowfall to adjust wiper speed. Available on Fusion SEL, Sport and Hybrid models.
