The new 2014 Ford Fusion is now available in UAE. We got an opportunity to drive the 2014 Ford Fusion and 2014 Ford Ranger for a brief half day event held at Dubai Autodrome. We also did some brief comparative testing with Toyota models by driving both Fusion and current generation Camry on track. 

2014 Ford Fusion

Lots of new driver technologies are now available with the new Ford Fusion, including lane keeping assist, blindspot warnings, adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, gradual steering corrections while driving (pull drift compensation) and active parking assist. It is the only car in it's segement to offer inflatable rear seatbelts, improving it's safety score with families. On track, we drove both the Camry and Fusion and one of the most obvious differences can be seen in the improved steering feedback and stability of the car. Ofcourse, the current generation Camry has been long overdue for an update so the new Fusion has an advantage of being a new comer with new technologies. It would have been interesting to compare the new Fusion with Mazda 6 (which also has adaptive cruise control and other technologies) which is also a new entrant in the midsize sedan war. It also happened to be the winner of our comparative test last year (see Mazda 6 vs Nissan Altima vs Honda Accord). The best part about Fusion is it's cabin quietness. It is much quieter than the Camry and the Ford guys were out with decible meters to prove it. Camry got 78-80 db while the Fusion got 68-70 which is a significant improvement. 

2014 Ford Ranger

The 2014 off-road capable Ford Ranger comes with some impressive stats in the compact pickup segment. Towing capability is up to 3,350 kg, ground clearance is up to 237 mm. On wadi drives during rainfall, it can wade upto 800mm depth. It also has superior driver assist features and interior comforts compared to the Toyota Hilux models we drove during the event. The 45 degree hill descent was much simpler, for example with the Ford Ranger. It is also a more safer model now thanks to the inclusion of Dynamic Stability Control and 6 airbags.
