2018 Ford Fusion Performance and Engine

EcoBoost 1.5L Turbo I4 — More Than It Sounds

Under the hood, this Fusion SE is powered by Ford's EcoBoost 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 181 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers a driving experience that punches above its displacement.

The EcoBoost engine became one of Ford's most celebrated engineering achievements — offering fuel efficiency closer to a smaller engine while delivering the low-end pull of something larger. For daily driving in Wayne County, whether that's navigating I-94, the Lodge Freeway, or surface streets through Detroit neighborhoods, the 1.5L turbo keeps up without drama. The 6-speed automatic shifts predictably and without harshness, making this an easy car to live with day in and day out.

Ford Fusion SE Features and Interior

What the SE Trim Delivers

The SE is Ford's entry point into the Fusion's comfort-forward features, and it doesn't disappoint. Buyers can expect a well-laid-out cabin with Ford's SYNC infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and steering wheel-mounted controls. The SE typically includes a rearview camera, dual-zone climate control capability, and a suite of power accessories that make longer commutes genuinely comfortable.

The interior of the 2018 Fusion still holds up well by today's standards. Rear seat legroom is notably generous for the segment — a frequent compliment from Fusion owners — and the trunk offers solid cargo capacity for a midsize sedan. The dashboard layout is intuitive, keeping driver distraction to a minimum, which is something Detroit commuters appreciate during busy rush hours.
