The introduction of the Ford Fusion marked a turning point for Ford, finally giving the company a strong entry in the mid-size sedan segment for the first time since the original Taurus. Upon its debut, the Fusion’s spacious cabin, responsive driving dynamics and attractive styling made it competitive, but there were a few missing elements that prevented it from being a true segment leader. A thorough refresh for 2010, however, addressed those elements, elevating the Fusion to elite status among mid-size family sedans.

Underneath its edgy styling resides a stretched chassis first developed for the original Mazda 6, which has lent the Fusion a sporty character not usually associated with family vehicles, let alone ones endowed with the Blue Oval badge. While we are most impressed with the revised edition, past Fusions are an attractive used car choice for those looking for a comfortable, well-equipped family hauler.

The Ford Fusion was thoroughly revised for 2010, with improvements made to most of the car’s former sore spots. The styling is now edgier and the interior has been updated with a more modern design featuring Ford’s latest entertainment and climate controls. The four-cylinder engine was upgraded to 2.5 liters and now produces 175 horsepower, while the 3.0-liter V6 now makes 240 horses. A new trim level, the Fusion Sport, gets a 3.5-liter V6 good for 263 hp. This Sport model maintains the previous car’s sporty hydraulic steering, whereas the regular Fusion switches to more parking-lot and fuel-efficiency-friendly electric steering.

One of the Ford Fusion’s key strengths is its cabin, which is spacious and features high-quality materials. The center stack is a bit button-happy, but it’s a significant ergonomic and aesthetic improvement over its dated predecessor. The Sync system works great, integrating audio and Bluetooth functionality with voice-recognition technology to provide easy hands-free operation of cell phones and portable MP3 players. While Ford’s mid-size sedan isn’t the largest car in its class, its generous interior dimensions prove that such sedans need not be as controversially large as the Accord or Mazda 6 in order to accommodate families’ needs. A pair of adults will be content in back (especially given the new rear seat headrests), and storage space is adequate.
