The North American Ford Fusion (code name CD338) is a
mid-size car produced by the
Ford Motor Company since the 2006 model year. The Fusion is manufactured at Ford's Hermosillo Stamping & Assembly plant in
Hermosillo, Sonora,
Mexico, where the similar
Mercury Milan and
Lincoln MKZ are also built. All three cars are based on the same platform and were launched simultaneously into the market (the MKZ as the Zephyr). Production on the first Fusions began on
August 1,
2005. The Fusion replaced the
Mondeo for the Mexican and
Latin American markets, but in the
United States and
Canada, filled the gap since the discontinuation of the
Ford Contour in 2000. It is larger than the defunct Contour, closer to the size of the original 1986
Ford Taurus, an example of the increase in size of cars since the 1980s. It is, however, more in line with the size of its most direct compeditors, the
Toyota Camry,
Honda Accord, and
Hyundai Sonata.
