For Zetec models look sharp thanks to alloy wheels and a roof spoiler. Inside, you'll also find a leather steering wheel.

Against The 1.4 petrol engine can struggle out of town, and needs working hard. Plus, it is far from smooth at high revs - which is where it has to spend much of its time.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

With the arrival of the latest and the B-Max MPV the Ford Fusion is looking and feeling distinctly old-fashioned. We would recommend you hold on to your cash until the new car reaches the showrooms, but if you must have a Fusion, insist on a major discount – well into four figures.

You shouldn’t spend too much on a Fusion in the first place, so our favourite version is the 1.4 Zetec – the cheapest model in the range.

And, before you sign on the dotted line, don’t forget to check out the Promotions section on Ford’s own website, where you can find details of things like special edition models and low-rate finance.
