Ford Fusion fails, where CRV scores

Did Ford need Fusion at all? I think no. Fusion has been moving slowly in sales clearly giving a signal to its manufacturers. Though it may have been a fast mover in Europe, but the car has not made any significant impact on the crossover SUV in Indian car market. Look at the recently launched Honda CRV. It has sold several numbers across several cities. The demand for the SUV is just dropping in like leaves from a tree in autumn.

Fusion only has an impressive interior and its off-road tyres, but nothing more. Its performance of 68 bhp seems too little. Its heavy body mass dose not give the push you want from a Ford car. The unimaginative designing is also of no help. The petrol and diesel variants are good on road performances but slow while moving of the shelf.

Ford would have done well if it had stuck on to sedans Fiesta and Ikon and the really impressive SUV Endeavor. Fusion, just not fit into the portfolio.
