The second generation Ford Fusion, produced from 2012 to 2020, became an extremely popular sedan, competing with such well-known models as the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. But how reliable is it? Unfortunately, not all engines in the Ford Fusion lineup are equally durable.
The 1.6 Ecoboost engine turned out to be problematic and was replaced by the more reliable 1.5 Ecoboost. Additionally, the model featured other engines in the Ecoboost series, such as the 2.0 Ecoboost and the 2.7 Ecoboost.
We should not overlook the hybrid versions: Ford Fusion Hybrid HEV and Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid PHEV. These models come equipped with the e-CVT transmission (HF35) and the Duratec 20 engine, making them a good market offering.
However, true reliability enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the introduction of the Duratec 25 engine. This 2.5-liter Mazda engine, known as the L5-VE, along with the reliable 6F35 transmission, ensures high durability and performance. The 6F55 transmission was also available for the version with the 2.7 Ecoboost engine.
By choosing the second-generation Ford Fusion, you get not only a stylish and comfortable sedan but also a variety of reliable and efficient engines to suit any need.
