    The Fusion, a mainstay of Ford's lineup since 2006, is a midsize sedan with seating up to 5. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it bypasses mud and snow with ease. Strong on technology, it has offered Android Auto and Apple CarPlay since 2017. The Ford Fusion has exceptional horsepower for its class, packing substantial oomph. Ford offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2011 Ford Fusion has a score of 67, implying a 0.059% chance of driver death (5.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2011 Ford Fusion has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0592% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 6.7633%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0592% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 6.7633% chance of being injured.
