The attached low-res photo has been cropped from an official Ford corporate document for a J.P. Morgan Auto Conference, this was leaked out and supposedly shows the 2017 Fusion.

I like it. It kinda reminds me of the Evos Concept.

Refreshing indeed IMHO.

 

[wingsnut]

That's pretty much it.
Much improved too.

 

[SP1966]

I like that they've softened the current Fusion hard edged look, I think it'll age better!

 

[scford58]

I really like this refresh. I can't wait to see the tail-lights and complete photos of the interior. Thanks 'badhac' for the photo.

 

[ScarredKnightfan]

Nice sneak peak! Will be interesting to see the rest of it.

There are versions with a honeycomb style grille. So I guess we'll find out what that's about too

I'm hoping it gets similar taillights to the new Edge!

mm I hope not, if it gest a taillight like the Edge it can look a bit like the MKZ that already has wraparound taillights

I agree with you Jose, it would look too much like the MKZ. That would not be good for Ford or Lincoln (IMHO) as they need to differentiate themselves as much as possible. Also, I remember reading that the Fusion refresh will have a chrome strip running through the middle of the taillights and across the full width of the car. Take that statement with a grain or two of salt because I cannot remember the source. :wink2:

I would bet that was from when people thought the Chinese Taurus mules were for the next Fusion.

Yes, I think you're correct. Thanks for pointing this out, so no, I have no idea what the rear of the updated Fusion will look like.

otoh
I wouldn't rule out Ford using the/a same/similar styling-theme on the Fuzie

&
think I don't like "barbell" TLs

 

[JBsC6]

I think the ford fusion is the best looking mid size sedan in the marketplace today. A real home run.

I hope they don't change the fusion too much as it's still such a stunning vehicle.

I'd like to see a fusion ST as well....

 

[gjrip]

Fusion ST would be magical. I look forward to the update, it's going to put Ford right back on top of the styling game.

That Blue again...

 

[Andrew L]

Didn't Ford have a color called True Blue? Is that it?

 

[timf2001]

This blue looks a lot like the color Notorious offered on MKC and MKZ Black Label.

 

[scford58]

WoW! That is a strong blue but it looks good on the Fusion. Do we know when the updated Fusion and MKZ will be introduced? NAIAS/Detroit maybe?
