Ford has announced the 2019 Fusion sedan will be the first Ford vehicle globally with standard new state-of-the-art CoPilot360 driver-assist technology.

Featuring sleeker styling for all models Ford says it promises greater projected all-electric driving range for the plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi.

Fusion launches Ford CoPilot360 for the company globally, standardiz­ing driver-assist technologi­es both to improve the driving experience for customers and to make the ordering process easier and faster.

From the entry-level Fusion S to Fusion Energi Titanium, every 2019 Fusion features musthave Ford Co-Pilot360 Protect driver-assist technologi­es as standard equipment, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot informatio­n system, lane keeping system, a rear backup camera and auto high-beam lighting.

Automatic emergency braking helps reduce the severity of or potentiall­y avoid collisions with other vehicles and pedestrian­s who might accidental­ly cross in front of the car’s path.

Standard blind spot informatio­n system with cross-traffic alert for every Fusion uses radar to detect surroundin­g vehicles – providing alerts if vehicles are detected approachin­g unseen from either side.

To help avoid lane drift, standard lane keeping system vibrates the steering wheel and can apply extra steering wheel torque to help keep the car centered in the lane.

Beyond standard Ford CoPilot360 Protect is a more advanced bundle of optional driver-assist technologi­es that makes driving even easier.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist includes adaptive cruise control with stop and go, which automatica­lly accelerate­s and brakes to a full stop when traffic halts, while maintainin­g a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
