Do all Ford Fusions have EcoBoost?
Not all Ford Fusions include EcoBoost. The Fusion lineup included non-turbo gasoline engines and hybrid variants that do not use EcoBoost technology, and EcoBoost was offered only on certain trims and model years.
Powertrain options across the Fusion’s life cycle
The Fusion’s engine lineup evolved over its production run, featuring a mix of traditional gasoline engines, turbocharged EcoBoost options, and hybrid variants. Availability depended on model year and trim level.
Gasoline engines (non-EcoBoost)
In the early years of the Fusion, Ford offered naturally aspirated gasoline options without turbocharging. These included standard four-cylinder engines and, in some years, a conventional V6 option. Not every generation used EcoBoost, and non-turbo engines remained common on base trims.
- Naturally aspirated four-cylinder gasoline engines (non-turbo)
- Older or less powerful trims sometimes paired with a larger V6 engine
Non-EcoBoost gasoline powertrains were common on base trims and in earlier generations, before EcoBoost became more widely adopted in later years.
EcoBoost turbocharged engines
Starting in the mid-2010s, Ford offered EcoBoost turbocharged engines in several Fusion trims. The primary EcoBoost options were a 1.6-liter turbo and a 2.0-liter turbo, available on many non-hybrid models, though availability depended on model year and trim. EcoBoost was not universal across all Fusions.
- 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine
- 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine
EcoBoost brought turbocharged performance to many Fusion variants, but not every model year or trim used an EcoBoost engine.
Hybrid and Energi variants
Ford also offered hybrid and plug-in hybrid Fusions. The Fusion Hybrid uses a gasoline engine paired with an electric motor as a hybrid propulsion system, while the Fusion Energi is a plug-in hybrid with a larger battery and electric driving range. Neither variant uses EcoBoost technology.
- Fusion Hybrid: gasoline engine + electric motor (non-EcoBoost)
- Fusion Energi: plug-in hybrid with larger battery and electric drive (non-EcoBoost)
Concluding: If you’re shopping for a Fusion with EcoBoost, you’ll want to focus on non-hybrid trims; hybrids and plug-in hybrids typically do not use EcoBoost engines.
How to verify a specific Fusion’s engine
Because model years and trims vary, the surest way to confirm whether a particular Fusion has EcoBoost is to check the car’s labeling and documentation.
- Look for an EcoBoost badge on the rear decklid or sides of the car
- Check the engine size and presence of a turbocharger (e.g., 1.6L EcoBoost or 2.0L EcoBoost)
- Review the VIN, build sheet, or window sticker for the engine type and trim
Concluding: If you want EcoBoost performance, verify the engine configuration and trim, because non-turbo options are common in older or hybrid models.
Summary
The Ford Fusion’s engine lineup varied over its production run. No, not all Fusions had EcoBoost; many used non-turbo gasoline engines, and the Hybrid and Energi variants do not rely on EcoBoost. EcoBoost was offered on many non-hybrid models—from mid-generation onward—but Ford ended Fusion production in 2020, meaning there are no new EcoBoost Fusions to buy. When shopping used, check the badge, engine code, or VIN to confirm the exact powertrain.
