In its final year of production, the 2019 Ford Fusion aims to shore up its legacy as one of the top midsize sedans in recent memory. Packed with features and style that leave European models envious, the Fusion is the complete package. However, one thing it might do better the rest is its functionality as a commuter car. With a comfortable interior, loads of tech, and unbeatable driving experience, the 2019 Ford Fusion makes the drive to the office just a tad more bearable. 
- Six Engine Options to Maximize Power or Efficiency
Whether you’re looking to save money on gas or zoom your way through congestion, the 2019 Ford Fusion has a model to meet your needs. A 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder is the stock engine, providing up to 31 mpg on the highway.
A 245-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four and a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo-four highlight the two four-cylinder turbocharged options, providing 29 mpg and 34 mpg on the highway respectively. For some ferocity on the pavement, an upgrade to the turbocharged 2.7-liter V-6 is a no-brainer. Available solely on the Sport trim, this monster boasts 325 horsepower, yet it doesn’t let efficiency slide, posting 26 mpg on the highway.
Two hybrid options are also available to lower your carbon footprint and maximize your driving distance. The plug-in variant features a 25-mile range on a single charge, while the regular hybrid boasts 41 mpg combined.
- Ford Sync 3 Infotainment System
With the recent uptick in infotainment systems in almost every type of vehicle from economical compacts to all-out luxury cars, the 2019 Ford Fusion puts itself in the upper echelon with the Ford Sync 3 system. Designed to limit distractions while providing quick access to entertainment, information, and other features, Ford Sync 3 is an intuitive system that you’ll enjoy on your morning and evening drives.
Using the Fusion’s 8-inch color touch-screen display, you can access your music library, change the temperature, or connect to the Fusion’s Wi-Fi hot spot. In addition, this year’s model also adds a comprehensive voice-recognition system that connects to Amazon Alexa, as well as allowing you to call or text contacts without taking your eyes off the road. With so many features, the Sync 3 infotainment system is the personal assistant you always wish you had.
- Superior Comfort
Regardless of whether you’re a glutton for the finer things in life, the 2019 Ford Fusion will cushion your drive. The cloth interior of the entry-level models is surprisingly soft and comfortable, while the leather-trimmed upholstery of upper trims provides an opulence that you thought you’d only find in so-called luxury cars.
The layout of the dashboard also makes access to the touch screen quick and easy, while steering wheel-mounted controls allow you to turn the radio up or down, scroll through menus, and make phone calls via Bluetooth.
When some guy just cut you off, the radio’s playing the same songs for the 37th day in a row, and you’re running late, you need some solace with your commuter. With the 2019 Ford Fusion, you’ll get just that.
