2019 Ford Fusion Titanium with AWD | full review and test drive
NOTES:
Year: 2019
Make: Ford
Model: Fusion
Trim: Titanium
MRSP: $33,585
+(AWD for an extra $2,000)
+19-inch Aluminum Wheels and a Power Moonroof (both standard at this trim level)
+(no longer the top trim level, there's now a $40k plus V6 Sport)
Engine: 2.0L EcoBoost Inline 4-cylinder
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic Transmission
Horsepower: 245 hp @ 5,500
MPG City: 21
MPG Highway: 31
Combined MPG: 25
(although Edmunds reports that real-world MPG numbers are lower)
Fuel Tank Capacity: 16.5 gallons (Premium Unleaded recommended)
Cost for a full tank: $2.09/gallon (regular) and $2.81/gallon (premium)
Alright, so what's it actually like to drive this car in the real-world?
Well, let's talk about handling first. I found the fusion to be very responsive. I drive pretty conservatively, especially in rental cars like this, so I don't typically accelerate out of a turn. But I found myself doing that in this car. It just hugs the road really well, and intuitively I felt like the car could handle more speed around these curves. And well....it did. It pretty fun to drive.
Acceleration:
Good. Very responsive and the engine sounds great when you're accelerating hard, but...well this definitely isn't the quickest sedan in this class. It's not bad - I definitely didn't feel like I needed more speed at any point - in just that, at least in my opinion, I think there's quicker sedans out there. So if you're looking to have one of the fastest cars on the road, well, you might want to look elsewhere. But, if you like a car that drives and performs well (but not exceptionally well) then I think you should check this one out, because I think you'll like it.

@@jeepguy95 Yes pretty sure they are killing it for North America. Just heard today that the Ford Taurus and chevy crux lines are halting production. Over here the domestics don't sell sedans worth a shit. About the only ones still selling in volume is the Camry, Honda Nissan. But SSUV's keep grabbing more market share all the time. And trucks of course. Ford will be mostly a truck/SUV company exclusively which IMO, is a risky proposition. Because their ecoboosts are not that great for MPG's in real world. Its never like what is posted on the sticker. And with no good gas mileage cars left, they are one energy crisis away from total doom.

I have had a 2010 fusion sel awd-it was great-and now I have a black 2014 fusion titanium with 19" y-spoke wheels. I love it! If you take care of it, like any other car,it will give you no problems. Even the myford touch isnt that bad, although sync 3 us better by far. I commute in it between Cincinnati and Dayton for work and have taken it to Nashville a couple times,and Va. Beach for vacation. Great commuter car and long distance traveler. Powerful,good on gas, and full of features, some of which weren't available on mid-sized cars or weren't standard even on their upper trims back in 2014-like the door lock indicator light that you pointed out and standard led wrap around tail lights and turn signals,atleast in the back. I love how the new fusions have standard leds everywhere. It is sad that this sedan is getting axed after the 2020 model year. I am a sedan man and have loved the fusion ever since it came out in '06,but the market has dramatically shifted, sedans aren't selling, and crossovers and suvs are selling like hotcakes. When I get ready to upgrade, maybe I'll get a great deal on a '19 fusion titanium since dealerships will be trying to unload em. Great review as all of yours are.

I just sold my 2011 Fusion to my niece (amazing car, 200k miles on it, no work but normal wear and tear) and bought a Civic Touring. Drove Fords my whole life till now, but since they are killing their car lines I figured it was time to get used to a new brand, believe me I was still tempted to pull the trigger on another fusion. I was going certified preowned this time around. I frankly just got more bang for my buck compared to similarly priced Fusions. The one thing I will really miss is Microsoft sync. Honda has voice controls, but its kind of cumbersome for playing music off my thumb drive. I cant just simply say "play artist, album, song" etc. and have it play.

I share your opinion. The Fusion feels way more high end with really good quality. I average between highway and street, 26MPG. The car can really move too. Great passing power and smooth quiet delivery. The Touring Accord at full throttle sounds like a buzz saw. The Fusion seats are way more comfy. But, the Accord is faster, better brakes, and feels more sporty. Just add smooth performance tires to the Fusion and it comes fairly close to the Accord in terms of sporty, but more smooth and composed. Also, the feel of the road is FAR superior in the Fusion (a good thing).

Hello! Several of you have been kind enough to educate me on the rear seat belts on the Fusion. For those that don't know, they're actually inflatable seat belts, meaning the strap on the belt has a built in airbag that can deploy if there's a crash. It's pretty amazing. Ford has a decent video explaining how it works here: owner.ford.com/support/how-tos/safety/seat-belts/how-to-use-inflatable-rear-safety-belts.html. And a special thanks to eldreamer86 over on Reddit for the link. Edit: Spelling.

My husband and I just traded in my Fusion for a new car a few days ago, as much as I wanted to love this car it put me through so much garbage, just a few months after purchasing brand new off the lot, the AC blew at 6k miles, dealership had it for over a month fixing it. A few months ago it had the short block replaced from coolant intrusion at 36k miles....2 months back at the dealer for that repair. Oil light came on a week ago service dept said shouldnt have had happened since oil was just replaced, oil was barely registering on dip stick, of course no warranty left so I got rid of it. Not worth the hassle!

@junkiexl86 3 жыл бұрын

What outlets were saying negative things? I've heard nothing but praise for the Fusions 2017 onward by both major review outlets and owners. The only real issue with them is the EcoBoost 1.5 and its common coolant intrusion problem, which requires a brand new short block replacement, which you better hope happens while still under warranty (usually happens in the first 20k miles) lol. Other than that nothing but positives.

Got a new 2017 Fusion Platinum. With AWD and park assist, premium paint job, MSRP $41,500. Did get 0% interest for 6 years. Paid $38,000. Got very generous Trade in. Consider the 0% interest a $3000 discount. So maybe $35,00 cost. After. 20 months, love the car. I did scratch up one rim. Found the replacement cost was $1000. I’ll live with the scratches. Between 19 inch low profile tires, and AWD, incredible handling. Did get the Ford extended warranties. Seven years platinum warranty and Ford Triplecare which includes coverage for tire and wheel replacement. Not my cosmetic damage. A few minor issues. Incredible infotainment system in sync 3. Hated my Acura infotainment system. Car seats are difficult to install. Park assist gets me within about 6 inches of the curb every time. Only works if there is a car ahead of the parking space. If not, it keeps going forward to find a car. Not good. Great for city parallel parking.

Munther I understand you point. Previous cars. All new. Acura, Honda Pilot, Honda Ridgeline, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry Solara. All reliable. All good resales value. None enjoyable to drive. The Fusion Is. Took Ford Platinum 7 year, zero deductible warranty. Also 6 year financing at 0% interest. Love this car and resale value difference means very little at that point. Could be a problem if it’s totaled except I have Liberty Mutual better car replacement. They will replace it with the same model one year newer, and with fewer miles. The trouble with high resale value cars. Tempted to, and I did, trade them in often. Costs me more in the long run.

I've realized after I had test drove a lot of cars, I was preferring the "premium" for lack of a better term, models of the more compact sedans than the base models of the cars a tier up for relatively the same price. I don't have to haul a lot of crap, or people for that matter, so having a bigger car really isn't necessary. That and I went certified pre owned instead of new. I ended up pulling the trigger on a 2016 civic touring 26k miles with all the bells and whistles for 10k less than a new one and when I asked if they had any veteran discounts, the finance guy threw in the 100k 10year extended bumper to bumper warranty for free . I was tempted to buy another fusion, but I just got way more bang for my buck with the touring. That and ford is killing their sedan lines, so I would have had to find a new brand eventually.

I agree with that. I bought a X3 Xdrive (AWD) and it has the same 2.0 size motor with a bit more power. But it actually gets the EPA 23 city and 30 mpg hwy. The ZF 8 speed transmission destroys anything that GM and Ford can come up with. The X3 is much more comfortable, taller, with more clearance and loads of space in back. The center stack and instrument cluster is functional, nice to look at and much easier to use. IMO, the X3 kills it. Especially in the last 2018 refresh. Probably the best SSUV on the market and can easily replace any sedan and provide allot more functionality. The Fusion's future is nearing end of life. Maybe they will make it another year. But its already done.

I rent these on the regular as opposed to the Chrysler gas guzzling 300s, impala or toyo camry. Haven't touched the kias or Hyundai in rental car lots. In a 2020 fusion SE AWD at the moment. Averaging 19 mpg. Only thing i hate the most about the newer models is the "driver alert" system. I cruising along at 75 in Socal towards OC not to long ago and took my eyes off the road for a quick second to look at a building. The system went crazy and started to slow the car down by itself. I had no peddle control what so ever. Had to pull an emergency exit off the highway and the only way i regained control of the car was to shut it off, open the door for 5 minutes and then turn it back on again. Very scary and stupid system Ford has put into this car.

@caribougoo349 3 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately once you're paying for premium gas, you're probably spending as much filling up as you would with a Taurus. I'd take a marginally faster, more reliable naturally aspirated for about the same price used. Really compelling prices for low mileage, fully loaded trims

My 2019 se hybrid has an interior remote gas door release, yet this car doesn't have one. Anyone know why this is? Thanks

@fordfanatic3307 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it's because the hybrid engine fuel system has to be depressurized before adding gas so the interior button does that when pressing it.

Who else with a 2019 fusion with the 2.0 ecoboost has to get their engine changed because of coolant leaking into the cylinders I see its a common thing check it out on Google I bought mine used with 34,700 miles and had it 2 weeks it ran fine when I got it than started making a noise Sounded like a ac bearing because when I turned on the ac it would get louder The dealer told me it was the engine that is making the noise and needed a long block to switch it out At least I'll have a new engine free of charge 😆 I miss driving it

I test drove a 2019 Ford Titanium a couple of weeks. It seemed like a good car, but I wouldn't pay more than $22K for one. I ended up buying a Kia Stinger.

Follow up comment. My wife constantly complains about the car riding rough. She is the passenger. I never paid attention. Didn’t notice. I have since learned that low profile tires are thinner and give a rougher ride. Tradeoff for good looks and superior handling. My neighbor just traded in his Cadillac Escalade. Said he couldn’t stand the rough ride from the low profile tires, If you need to switch car seats on a somewhat regular basis, don’t buy this car. Miserable experience.

It doesn't require it. It can run fine off of 87 octane but the performance is much better with 91, plus it gets better MPG with 91.

@@kalel33 Where are you getting that data from? No single statement from Ford claims this that I could find. Not in the owner's manual, website, ect. You would only see an increase in performance and fuel economy if the engine was calibrated to increase timing under 91 octane - which it is not to my knowledge.

Biggest difference is several options on the '18 titanium are standard on the '19 as part of Ford's co-pilot 360. Don't really like the 19 inch wheels which unfortunately are also standard. The moon roof is one of only two options. I can do without that. Fortunately, according to the brochure they got rid of the white leather upholstery option.

If you ever buy a 3rd generation (technically 2nd gen) Fusion, please understand that unless you're very conservatively moderating the throttle, you will not meet the Ford Fuel economy estimates. My Fusion with the 1.6 EcoBoost only gets 18 city and 32 highway, I'd say 26 combined

@paulstein9258 5 жыл бұрын

Question here. CR rates the Fusion 1/5 for reliability, but owner satisfaction appears high. Difficulty in satisfaction is the tremendous price ranges. From $24,000 cloth seats basic to $40, 000 plus models. Earlier complaints on the 2017 models were primarily battery drain and some instruments. My understanding is that the causes are now known and it’s a software fix. With these fixes, is the Fusion now a reliable car? I believe just 5% complaints by owners, give it a 1/5 reliability by CR. That means 95% of owners can love the car.

@plotdot6920 5 жыл бұрын

The fusion is a reliable car. Look up the 100,000+ mile reviews of the fusion .

@tbone1043 4 жыл бұрын

Your correct on all points. I had the 2017 with the battery drain issue and it was due to driver error pushing the start button more than once in 5 seconds but Ford still fixed it and bought any customers vehicle back without litigation. I took the buyback like a fool thinking I'd have extra $ but ended up loosing all of the extra $ buying an 2018 Accord to replace the Fusion. Now I'm back in a Fusion and thank God for that because the Accord was the worse car I've ever owned and it's showed it poor build quality the first week of ownership. After 3 days the car completely malfunctioned and had to be repaired for a week. Here's a list of Accord problems. Exterior chrome and/or Black grill bubbles up and has to be replaced yearly, the cars ride terribly hard and is very noisy (engine is noisy, ride is noisy from slamming into every crack, the road noise is unbearable) the dash rattles and there is no fix, the driver seat has to be fixed way too often, the rear brakes are worn at 20,000 miles, synthetic oil has to be changed every 35000 mile like it regular oil due to oil consumption and fuel in the oil that Honda won't fix, trans is jerky, hard to keep in its lane even with assist, worse sound system out of all cars and trims, cheap tires, kicker box carpet and mats that wear out within months of buying the car, all safety features malfunction, the brakes seem to stop in stages and won't allow a smooth stop, the car is way too low and so are the seats leaving the driver and passengers needing to fall into the car and grunt to exit, the trunk opens on its own and I confirm this buy hanging my keys on the wall but returned to an open trunk in the morning. The final straw was unexpected accelerations. All of these issue are all over the internet and even on Hondas own blog. If you need to see them I'll submit links as I have them available from the multiple times I had to show the service department who claim they have no knowledge of any issues you mention. As I mentioned Ford fixed an issue caused by the driver and repurchased the vehicles without a problem or any need for legal representation. Honda is now being sued for the defective collision mitigation systems that slams on brakes for no reason and will not acknowledge this serious issue. Just buy Ford.
