| The European '''Ford Fusion''' is a stretched version of the [[Ford Fiesta]] supermini car, produced by Ford of Europe since 2002 and sold in Europe andIndia. The design includes elements of both [[station wagon]] and multi-purpose vehicles. Its extra height compared with the Fiesta is due to both roof racks, increased ground clearance and taller roof, which makes it roomier and more comfortable for taller drivers than regular superminis, drawing it closer to mini MPVs.

| A mini SUV version of the Fusion called the Ford EcoSport is produced in Brazil. It is similar to the Fusion, but features an increased ride height, off-road suspension, larger wheels and dark bumpers. 1.0 turbocharger, 1.6 and 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine petrol engines and 1.4-litre TDCi diesel engines with [[front-wheel drive]] or [[four-wheel drive]] are available.

| Ford also used the name "Fusion" before the launch of the European [[Ford Focus]], in communications with contractors working on elements of that model's launch publicity. Ford did not reveal whether the late change to "Focus" had been the result of a genuine change in its plans, or simply a desire to conceal the real name from the press until the company was ready for the launch.
