How many axles does a Ford Fusion have?

The Ford Fusion has two axles.



Axle count by drivetrain


Power distribution changes with the drivetrain, but the physical axle count remains constant.



  • Front-wheel drive (FWD): front axle is driven; rear axle is non-driven but still part of the chassis and suspension, resulting in two axles total.

  • All-wheel drive (AWD): both front and rear axles are driven, but there are still two axles in total.


In both configurations, the number of axles does not change—the Fusion retains two axles regardless of whether it is FWD or AWD.


Implications for maintenance and specs


While maintenance and parts differ between FWD and AWD (such as different differential components or transfer mechanisms), the axle count remains two. Owners should follow drivetrain-specific service intervals for fluids and components, but the overall axle count is unchanged.


Summary


The Ford Fusion has two axles—the front and the rear—across its model years, with all-wheel-drive variants delivering power to both axles while front-wheel-drive variants power only the front axle.

How many axles does my car have?

The axle connects one wheel on one side to another wheel on the other side. And because cars have four wheels, they have two axles. As you might expect, larger vehicles sometimes have more axles. There might be an extra axle in a large pickup truck, for example.



How many axles are on a 4 wheel car?


two axles
Four-wheel drive (4WD) refers to vehicles with two axles providing torque to four axle ends.
