Product Overview

Ford Fusion 2 facelift 2 is an affordable mid-size sedan in production from 2018 to 2020. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.7 liters.
Compared to the first facelift that came out two years prior, this facelift introduced minor cosmetic updates. As Ford was going to discontinue all sedan models, this update was half-hearted.
