What are the different versions of the 2014 Ford Fusion?
In 2014, the Ford Fusion lineup included four gasoline trims—S, SE, SEL and Titanium—and two hybrid variants: Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi. Gasoline models offered a base 2.5-liter inline-four engine and two EcoBoost options (1.6-liter and 2.0-liter), giving buyers a range of performance and features to match their needs.
Beyond the basic gasoline variants, Ford promoted two distinct hybrid configurations that emphasized efficiency and electric capability. The following sections break down these versions, their engine choices, and what buyers could expect from each family of Fusion cars for the 2014 model year.
Gasoline-powered versions
The gasoline versions of the 2014 Fusion were sold in four trims, with engine choices that ranged from a traditional 2.5L inline-four to turbocharged EcoBoost options. The exact engine and feature sets varied by trim, with higher trims offering more technology and comfort features.
- Fusion S — 2.5-liter inline-four engine; 6-speed automatic transmission; base features and equipment typical of a entry-level sedan
- Fusion SE — available with 1.6-liter EcoBoost or 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines; enhanced interior and technology options
- Fusion SEL — available with 1.6-liter EcoBoost or 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines; additional comfort and convenience features
- Fusion Titanium — 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine; premium interior materials and advanced tech options; top-line features
Each gasoline version shared Ford’s efficient chassis and available safety and driver-assist packages, with upgrades primarily focused on powertrain choices and interior amenities.
Hybrid and plug-in variants
The Fusion lineup also included two hybrid-focused models designed for efficiency: the standard Hybrid and the plug-in Energi variant. These versions share many features with the gasoline models but employ different powertrains to maximize fuel economy and, in Energi’s case, electric driving capability.
- Fusion Hybrid — combines a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle gas engine with an electric motor for high fuel efficiency and smooth operation
- Fusion Energi — plug-in hybrid with a larger battery pack that allows for a limited all-electric driving range, plus the gasoline engine for extended trips
Both hybrids offered Ford’s hybrid technology package, with the Energi model adding the ability to be charged from external power sources and to operate in electric mode for short distances.
Summary
The 2014 Ford Fusion lineup was designed to cover a broad spectrum of buyer needs, from efficient daily commuting to more spirited driving with EcoBoost power. Gasoline trims (S, SE, SEL, Titanium) provided a range of engine options, while the Hybrid and Energi variants focused on maximizing fuel efficiency and, in Energi’s case, electric-range capabilities. Together, they offered a versatile sedan choice for that model year.
