The company claims that Fusion Plus offers consumers excellent value for money and the introductory offer on the Fusion Plus during the month of March includes an MP3 player with 4 speakers.
Fusion Plus was developed in response to consumer feedback, says a Ford statement. The car offers good 'headroom, legroom and shoulder room,' and comes with a height-adjustable driver's seat and power adjustable outside rear view mirrors.
The Fusion Plus has an all-new anti-lock braking system (ABS) that assists the driver during extreme braking situations, an added featured in the new variant to provide the driver with greater control.
The Fusion Plus carries additional features and styling enhancements such as 15-inch alloy wheels, body coloured outside rear view mirrors, body-colour bumpers, door handles, side moulding and deck lid. A Fusion+ badge is a final distinguishing touch to the new top-end variant.
It is available with either a 1.6-litre Duratec petrol engine or a 1.4-litre Duratorq TDCi turbodiesel engine.
Ford India has passed on the recent reduction in excise duty to benefit the consumer.
''We have enhanced the value equation of the Ford Fusion Plus with the inclusion of key features. But we were very careful to retain well known Fusion qualities such as superior performance and driving pleasure,'' said Scott McCormack, Ford India's vice president marketing, sales and service.
The 1.6 Duratec petrol engine of the Fusion Plus delivers 101PS at 6500rpm and 146Nm of torque at 3400rpm.
The Ford Fusion Plus is also available with the aluminum alloy 1.4L Duratorq TDCi engine delivering 68PS at 4000rpm.
