Excellent Vehicle but not marketed/positioned by Ford Properly. It was the 1st crossover vehicle for India. Crossover is a new segment all together. Neither the customer realized the benefits nor the manufacturer capitalized being early bird.

It is official now, the little front wheel drive crossover from Ford has been finally discontinued. The vehicle has been removed from the Ford India website as well. The car had been selling in very low numbers since it was launched and that kind of form factor was never taken well by the indian customer. I mean vehicles like this just never clicked, not did station wagons like the Indigo Marina or the Baleno Altura for that matter. We just want hatchbacks or sedans. Well, Ford first put the Fiesta's diesel into it to give it some more appeal with one more variant the Fusion Plus available on both Petrol and Diesel. It did not click. Then came the Fabia from Skoda and suddenly the expensive Ford Fusion felt like awesome value for money. Don't you know there are blokes who bought Fabia diesels at 9 lacs OTR. They must be one hell of a sad tribe for sure. So yes, Ford again started advertising the Fusion as the 'no nonsense car' and all that. It still did not sell. The vehicle was amazing with great luggage space and excellent quality and engines powering it.

The best and the worst performers in Indian car market
According to a poll by probably TOI, here is the list of the 6 best performing cars in terms of sales of course. The reasons for them to be the best performers can be many, but they sure fly off the showroom shelves really fast. According to the report, the indian car market churns about 400 different models and variants from 20 manufacturers.
