Fusion SE models add the availability of 16-inch aluminum wheels; a six-speaker, six-CD/MP3 stereo or an Audiophile, eight-speaker six-CD/MP3 stereo; leather seating surfaces; and a power moonroof. For buyers who want more power but don’t wish to upgrade to the top-trim SEL, the Fusion SE is offered with a 3.0-liter V6 engine hooked to a six-speed automatic transmission. Traction control is also available on V6 versions of the Fusion SE. Pricing for the SE V6 model starts at an MSRP of $21,275. Though pricing was not announced for the four-cylinder Fusion SE, expect an MSRP between the base $17,995 and the four-cylinder SEL, which is priced at $20,500. Those opting for the top-of-the-line Fusion SEL get standard features that include fog lamps, 17-inch aluminum wheels, automatic temperature control, a six-disc CD changer/MP3 stereo with six speakers, wood or piano black interior trim, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and climate controls. Equipped with the optional five-speed automatic transmission, a Fusion SEL with a four-cylinder engine will carry an MSRP of under $20,500. Options for the SEL include the V6 engine, heated leather seats, and a Premium package that includes heated outside mirrors with puddle lamps, an automatic-dimming rear view mirror, a compass, and automatic headlamps.
