The all-new Ford Mondeo features a 2.7-litre turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine that churns out a maximum power of 325 hp and a peak torque of 475 Nm. With such an enormous power output, this American hustler might become the segment leader. The engine power is transferred to the four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.5L and 2.0L EcoBoost engines are now equipped with a twin-scroll turbo system, that helps in generating a maximum power of 200 hp and 250 hp respectively. With such powerful engines, it has become the most powerful sedan in the American market and it is expected to match to the likes of Honda Accord and Toyota Camry in Malaysia. 2016 Ford Fusion Mondeo will be available in the market from May 2016 and the price is expected to be around RM151,800.

The manufacturer has also introduced two “Green” variants of the car namely Fusion Hybrid and the Fusion Energi, a plug-in Hybrid EV. The latter is provided with a 7.6kWh lithium-ion battery, an electric motor and 2.0-litre petrol engine. With such battery pack up, it is capable of covering up to 19 miles on electric mode only. The efficient electric motor system allows to deliver better fuel economy and more engaging drive. If Malaysian market is concerned then Ford Fusion plug-in hybrid can dominate the market as the other Japanese brands are not available with their hybrids in the respective segment.

In the south-east countries, where the Japanese manufacturers are already dominating the market, in order to set footprints, the brand has come up with one of its best cars. Adding to the credibility of Ford in the country, Ford Ranger has registered 85 percent of the total sales and has achieved the title of the most popular truck in the country.
