Apple Maps is there to find your most efficient route, along with spoken turn-by-turn directions and immersive 3D experiences. Of course, you can make calls, take calls, and listen to messages all using voice commands.

2020 Ford Fusion technology

All Fusion models come with a suite of driver-assist technologies that are becoming the standard on all vehicles. Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, lane-keeping assist, and auto high-beam headlamps are all part of the package. In addition to smartphone connection with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Ford SYNC offers larger touchscreens, natural language voice commands, and traffic and weather updates to help you manage your day.

The 2020 Ford Fusion has electric power-assisted steering that automatically adjusts to the driver. Available auto start-stop technology is designed to help the environment by automatically shutting the car off while it is stopped, and then immediately starting again when you take your foot off the brake pedal.

Fusion models equipped with intelligent all-wheel drive have sensors that balance torque for maximum traction, keeping the Ford Fusion confident in adverse road conditions. Intelligent all-wheel drive is available on the 2020 Ford Fusion SE and Titanium. 

Real-time connectivity

Ford has also teamed up with Amazon to offer Alexa in their 2020 vehicles. It brings the same capabilities as your home Alexa to your vehicle via a special app. They’ve also partnered with AT&T to turn the Fusion into a 4G LTE hotspot.

FordPass Connect lets you control many aspects of your Fusion through your Apple or Android phone, including remote locking, remote engine start, climate control, and even check your fuel levels and mileage. Traffic and weather information is updated in real-time, so drivers always know what’s happening around them. 

Here’s a feature you’re probably going to be seeing more of that’s part of the Ford SYNC system. Download an app called In-Car Delivery, and you can have your Amazon packages delivered to your locked car while your at home, work, or anywhere. 

The Ford Fusion has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which has most of the same features for Android users. The 2020 Fusion has lots of standard technology that makes it a fair deal for the price.
