Does a 2013 Ford Fusion come with a turbo?

No, the 2013 Ford Fusion did not come equipped with a turbocharger as a standard or optional feature. The 2013 Fusion was available with a range of naturally aspirated gasoline engines, but did not offer a turbocharged option that year.


Detailed Overview of the 2013 Ford Fusion Engine Options


The 2013 Ford Fusion was offered with three different engine choices:



  • 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, producing 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque

  • 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 178 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque (available as an option starting in 2014, not 2013)

  • 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque (available as an option starting in 2013)


As you can see, the 2013 Fusion lineup did not include a turbocharged 1.6-liter engine option. The first turbocharged engine available for the Fusion was the 2.0-liter EcoBoost, which was introduced as an optional upgrade for the 2013 model year.


Why Didn't the 2013 Fusion Come with a Turbo?


Ford likely did not offer a turbocharged engine in the base 2013 Fusion model for a few key reasons:



  • Cost - Turbochargers add complexity and expense to an engine, so Ford may have wanted to keep the base Fusion price point more affordable.

  • Fuel Economy - The naturally aspirated 2.5-liter engine likely provided better fuel efficiency than a turbocharged option would have.

  • Performance Positioning - Ford may have wanted to reserve the turbocharged EcoBoost engines for higher trim levels and performance-oriented Fusion variants.


So in summary, while turbocharged engines became available in the Fusion lineup starting in 2014, the base 2013 model year did not offer a turbo as a standard or optional feature.
