Ford Fusion Generations
Each Ford Fusion generation, representing the timeframe between each Fusion redesign, is listed below. Use this list to see which is the most reliable and safest Fusion generation based on iSeeCars' data-driven ratings.
In the market for a slightly used Ford Fusion, but wondering if it offers the latest design enhancements? iSeeCars' team of automotive experts and data scientists compiled the most accurate and comprehensive history of the Ford Fusion's redesign schedule, showing which model year an all-new "vehicle generation" debuted. When a vehicle is redesigned it benefits from the latest design and engineering enhancements, which impacts performance, fuel efficiency, safety, and reliability. iSeeCars' data shows that, on average, newer generations of a model are more powerful, fuel efficient, and reliable than older generations, but not all models follow this pattern. Use the information below to track changes in the Ford Fusion and its engine power, fuel efficiency, safety, and iSeeCars' Reliability Ratings across model years/generations. iSeeCars' objective and data-driven Reliability Rating is based on a rigorous analysis of over 312 million vehicles, to calculate each vehicle model's useful lifespan and its ability to last 200,000 miles or more.
The Ford Fusion is a midsize sedan last redesigned in 2013. The latest generation is powered by a 2.5L engine that makes 175 hp and delivers up to 31 mpg. A 1.5L engine that makes 181 hp and offers up to 34 mpg is also available. A new Ford Fusion has a starting MSRP of $23,170, and used prices for this generation of Ford Fusion range from $5,243 to $23,000. This era of Ford Fusion earns an iSeeCars Generations Rating of 9.1, which takes both reliability and safety into consideration.
The previous Ford Fusion generation is a midsize sedan produced from 2006 to 2012. This generation is powered by a 2.5L engine that makes 175 hp and delivers up to 30 mpg. A 3.0L engine that makes 240 hp and offers up to 19 mpg is also available. Used car pricing for this generation ranges from $1,999 to $12,994. This era of Ford Fusion earns an iSeeCars Generations Rating of 8.1.

Our methodology
iSeeCars Generations Rating is calculated based on the latest research from our data science team.
The iSeeCars Generations Rating is an analysis of two factors: reliability and safety. It is calculated for each model generation based on the analysis of over 312 million cars using a proprietary mathematical model that estimated the probability that each vehicle would survive to various mileage thresholds. This survival model was used to calculate the average lifespan of each vehicle generation, which forms the basis of the reliability score. The safety score is based on NHTSA safety ratings.
Vehicles are scored in two categories:
Reliability
The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.
Safety
The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
