2019 Fusion Details

Recommended Posts

Other than the botox on the front and rear lighting area, and the 360 thingie, it is still my 2013.

 

Zzzzz. My 2013 runs fine, thank you. I ain't upgrading for a software update and led headlamps.

I'm not tickled on the lack of appreciable changes either ... and I just extended my warranty to 6/100K. I don't like how much ICE runs on the '17 as compared to my prior '15 but I think I'll keep it around for a while longer.

I love my Platinum trim. I love it every day. If you prefer leather interior grab a platinum while you can.

We might not see a leather wrapped dash again in a Ford for a long time (Lincoln of course will offer this).

 

About the only thing I could give up is the auto parking. With the Platinum trim you get to drive a Lincoln for pennies on the dollar.

 

Additional standard equipment has been added to the SEL and Titanium trim levels as well, while the top-end Platinum trim has been discontinued for 2019. Ford says the 2018 Fusion can be had in 2,000 different combinations, while the 2019 model has been pared down to 36 variations.

St Louis George, I agree. I traded in my 2013 SE for a 2017 Platinum and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love the quilted leather seats and the leather dash, not to mention the Adaptive CC with Stop/Go, heated and ventilated seats, it is truly a Lincoln for pennies on the dollar. I actually drove an MKZ back to back with the Fusion Platinum, and I couldn't justify the extra $10-15K for the Lincoln.

FYI, here is an interesting video on the 2019 - to be honest, other than the chrome strip being reduced, I can't see much of a difference.

... <cut out video> ...

Differences I see - as compared to 2017 SE:

1. front road lights have different bezel

2. wheels are different altho these are probably 18 or 19" and I have 17"

3. rear end has lost the chrome strip that runs fully across trunk in favor of chrome pieces in lights

4. as noted, sharkfin antenna. However I wouldn't bet on that staying on NA models.

 

I feel obligated to mention that I too have leather seats, although not quilted. They are heated but not ventilated. I have ACC w/stop & go as well, park assist, all the goodies except moonroof and nav. And several K less than a platinum.
