This year, the 2017 Ford Fusion has earned the distinction of Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This designation means that the Fusion not only achieved a rating of "good" (on a scale of good, acceptable, marginal, poor) on all five crash-worthiness tests, it also includes superior frontal collision avoidance technology.

"The 2017 Ford Fusion is our most advanced car yet and we're proud to see it recognized by NHTSA and the IIHS for its safety performance too," said Bill Strickland, chief program engineer, Ford Motor Company. "Great new features include a pedestrian detection system and hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability, as well as existing optional lane-keeping assist and Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert."

According to the IIHS, the 2017 Fusion with active braking was able to avoid collisions from a speed of 25mph.
