2017 FORD FUSION

If you're searching for a 2017 Ford Fusion SE for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this AWD-equipped Fusion SE Sedan ready for a test drive, combining the kind of all-weather confidence Detroit drivers demand with the refined interior and fuel-smart EcoBoost engine that made the Fusion one of America's best-selling midsize sedans. Whether you're commuting through Wayne County or heading out on a weekend run up I-75, this is a vehicle built for real-world Michigan driving.

About This 2017 Ford Fusion SE Sedan

This 2017 Ford Fusion SE comes in with 116,214 miles on the clock — a number that tells you this car has lived a full life on the road, but for a Ford Fusion, it's far from the finish line. The Fusion platform is well-regarded for durability well past the 150,000-mile mark when properly maintained, and at this mileage point, much of the early-ownership break-in is behind you. You're getting a car that's already proven itself. The SE trim sits comfortably in the middle of the Fusion lineup, offering a meaningful step up from base in terms of features without the premium price of the Titanium or Platinum grades.

2017 Ford Fusion Performance and Engine

EcoBoost 2.0T Power Meets All-Wheel Drive

Under the hood sits Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder — an engine that punches well above its displacement. It delivers a confident and responsive driving experience, particularly useful when merging onto freeways or navigating Detroit's varied road conditions. Paired with the smooth 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, you get the option to take manual control of gear selection when you want it, or let the transmission do its job seamlessly in everyday driving.

The AWD system on this Fusion is what truly sets it apart from the typical front-wheel-drive version. Michigan winters are no joke, and having power distributed to all four wheels means you're not fighting the road every November through March. This drivetrain combination makes the 2017 Fusion SE AWD a genuinely practical choice for year-round use in Wayne County and beyond.

Ford Fusion SE Features and Interior

A Trim Level That Delivers

The SE trim on the 2017 Fusion includes a well-rounded feature set that covers the essentials modern buyers expect. You can expect SYNC infotainment connectivity, a rearview camera, push-button start capability on equipped models, dual-zone climate control elements, and a comfortable, driver-focused cabin layout. The Fusion's interior has consistently been praised for feeling upscale relative to its segment — materials quality and design sensibility both hold up well compared to competitors from the same model year.

The rear seat offers genuine legroom that adult passengers appreciate on longer trips, and the trunk space is among the more generous you'll find in a midsize sedan. Whether it's daily work commutes, school runs in Dearborn or Livonia, or longer drives beyond the metro area, the Fusion SE's cabin is a comfortable place to spend time.

Ford Fusion Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2017 Fusion

The 2017 Ford Fusion occupies a solid place in reliability discussions for its generation. The EcoBoost 2.0T engine, when maintained with regular oil changes and coolant flushes, is known to run reliably for high mileage. The 6-speed SelectShift transmission is a proven unit with a strong track record. Owners consistently highlight the smooth ride quality, strong highway fuel economy, and the fact that the Fusion doesn't feel like it's falling apart even after years of regular use.

Prospective buyers should, as with any used vehicle at this mileage, budget for standard wear items — tires, brakes, and fluid services. Having a pre-purchase inspection done is always smart. But the Fusion's ownership community is active, parts are widely available and affordable, and independent mechanics throughout the Detroit metro area are very familiar with this platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 Ford Fusion SE a good used car to buy?

Yes. The 2017 Ford Fusion SE is widely regarded as a solid used buy in the midsize sedan segment. It offers a comfortable ride, strong feature content for its price range, good fuel economy from the EcoBoost engine, and a proven reliability record. The AWD version adds particular value for buyers in climates like Michigan's.

Is 116,000 miles too many for a 2017 Ford Fusion?

Not at all — not for a well-maintained Fusion. The EcoBoost 2.0T and the 6-speed SelectShift transmission are both capable of running reliably well past 150,000 miles with proper maintenance. At this mileage, the vehicle has already depreciated significantly, which means more car for your money. A service history review and pre-purchase inspection are always recommended.

What does the Ford Fusion SE trim include?

The 2017 Fusion SE sits above the base S trim and includes notable upgrades such as Ford's SYNC infotainment system with connectivity features, a rearview camera, enhanced interior appointments, and additional convenience and comfort features. The SE is widely considered the sweet spot in the Fusion lineup for value-conscious buyers.

Does the 2017 Ford Fusion SE come with AWD?

The standard Fusion SE is front-wheel drive, but Ford did offer an AWD option — and this specific vehicle is equipped with it. That makes it a more capable and in-demand configuration, especially for Michigan buyers who face winter driving conditions regularly.

How is the Ford Fusion EcoBoost 2.0T on fuel economy?

The 2.0-liter EcoBoost delivers a strong balance of performance and efficiency. While the AWD configuration does affect fuel economy slightly compared to the FWD version, real-world drivers report solid highway mileage that makes it practical for both commuting and longer road trips.
