About This 2017 Ford Fusion Platinum Sedan
The Fusion Platinum sits at the very top of the Fusion trim hierarchy, and that means this isn't a stripped-down, entry-level used car — it's a near-luxury sedan that originally carried a sticker price well above $35,000. At just under 100,000 miles, this vehicle is solidly mid-life for a well-maintained Fusion. Ford's EcoBoost engines are known to run reliably well past 150,000 miles with routine maintenance, making this an excellent value buy for Detroit-area drivers who want a premium ride without the premium price tag.2017 Ford Fusion Performance and Engine
Under the hood of this Fusion Platinum is Ford's 2.0L EcoBoost twin-turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. This combination produces 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque — figures that put it firmly in sports sedan territory while still returning respectable fuel economy in the mid-20s combined. The SelectShift transmission lets drivers take manual control of gear changes when they want a more engaged driving experience.
Critically for Michigan drivers, this Fusion is equipped with all-wheel drive. Whether you're navigating snowy Detroit streets in January, dealing with slush on I-94, or heading out toward Dearborn or Downriver on wet pavement, AWD gives you traction and confidence that front-wheel-drive competitors simply can't match. This drivetrain configuration is one of the most practical and sought-after features for buyers in Wayne County and throughout Southeast Michigan.Ford Fusion Platinum Features and Interior
The Platinum trim is where Ford pulled out all the stops on the Fusion. Expect a richly appointed cabin featuring heated and ventilated front seats, a heated rear seat, genuine leather upholstery, and a heated steering wheel — perfect for Michigan winters. The Platinum also comes loaded with Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system, a premium Sony audio system, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a panoramic sunroof, and blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert.
The interior is designed to feel competitive with entry-level luxury brands, and most owners agree it succeeds. The dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and soft-touch materials throughout the cabin elevate the Fusion Platinum well above ordinary mid-size sedan fare.Ford Fusion Reliability and Ownership
