THE Ford Fusion+ is the latest edition to the Fusion range and the first UK Ford with a standard DVD entertainment system.
"Recent years have seen the car market fragment significantly with customers more able to buy a car with different attributes to meet specific needs," said Paul Thomas, managing director, Ford of Britain.
"Fusion and Fusion+ reflect this trend between Fiesta and Focus in terms of size and price, but with unique flexibility."
The priority in developing Fusion+ was creating an attractive travel environment for families with a child-focused rear-seat entertainment package.
The results include: a DVD entertainment system with single large, centrally mounted screen which has an adjustable viewing angle and two independent, wireless headsets.
The exterior of the Fusion+ has been enhanced with larger wheels and 16-inch alloys and the vehicle will be available in 1.4l 16v, 1.4l TDCi and top-of-the-range 1.6l 16v.
Fusion+ will be available with Ford's new, five-speed Durashift EST (Electronic Shift Technology) advanced manual transmission on 1.4l petrol models.
The Fusion+ will be on sale from summer 2003 with prices due to be released closer to that time.
