Striking Interior Styling
Fusion's fun to drive character extends to the interior design
with new seats, new fabrics, new gauges, and new finishes and trim.
All models feature a more contemporary look with new finishes on the
instrument panel, center console, doors and steering wheel. A
redesigned steering wheel, a new shifter, and wrapped and padded
armrests increase the Fusion's sportiness and comfort. New
standard ice blue lighting for interior controls and available
ambient interior lighting are also features separating Fusion from
the everyday crowd.
- All-new seats and seating material
give Fusion cutting-edge style. The seat contour is
revised, with more side support down low and the seat was also
made softer, with smoother bolsters and more highly textured
inserts for more comfort.
- New Ice Blue lighting enhances the
overall feel of the interior with illumination for all interior
controls including the instrument cluster, center console, power
door lock and window switches and steering-wheel-mounted
controls.
- A new center stack puts the audio,
navigation, and climate controls within ergonomic reach.
- A cool "welcome" greets drivers
when they first turn Fusion on. Ford's DNA welcome
strategy brings instrumentation to life once the key is
inserted, followed by a wide, sweeping, "hello" from the gauge
needles once the car comes to life. New, retuned chiming
features complement the friendly welcome.
- A new instrument gauge cluster
with a centered speedometer and revised message center is crisp,
clean, and easy to read. The cluster features daytime
backlighting, a black lens and 3D elements to create a
jewel-like appearance that's similar to a fine watch.

instrument panel challenge the class in style and
comfort, including a seamless passenger-side airbag cover.
