For car shoppers who want a practical vehicle that still delivers a thrill, the 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport includes a wide array of performance-tuned mechanical components to improve any ride. Here are some key ways the Fusion V6 Sport changes the game.

Take a look under the hood of the Ford Fusion V6 Sport

The 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport is equipped with a new 2.7-litre turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine that is able to deliver 325 horsepower and 350 lb-ft torque. The Fusion V6 Sport also comes standard with all-wheel drive, electric power-assisted steering, and paddle shifters. What really sets the Ford Fusion V6 Sport apart from the crowd, however, is continuously controlled damping (CCD). CCD utilizes sensors to constantly monitor suspension motion, body movement, steering, and braking and immediately adjusts suspension damping accordingly to keep the vehicle operating as quietly and smoothly as possible.

Better luck next time, potholes

When you are driving on a rough road full of potholes, the 2017 Fusion V6 Sport’s pothole defense system utilizes CCD to help protect you against the impact of potholes as well as avoid or lessen damage done to your wheels and tires.

Ford Fusion V6 Sport Mode

One of the most appealing features of the 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport is the ability to opt for different driving modes, including comfort, normal, and sport. When Sport Mode is switched on, you can expect every element mentioned above to come alive in the most exciting way. You will likely notice improved handling, a smooth powertrain sound, clean steering, aggressive transmission, and a more responsive engine. What’s not to love about that!
