5. 2017 Ford Fusion (Midsize Cars)
Class, sophistication and affordability are the strongest suits of the 2017 Ford Fusion. Priced starting at $22,120 when it was first released, the Fusion is a smart urban car, offering great fuel efficiency at 21/32 mpg. But more than the flashy good looks, the 2017 Ford Fusion is loaded with safety features, making this as one of the safest cars on the road according to IIHS. One of the best safety developments on the Ford Fusion is the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, which sends out warning sounds and flashing light on the windshield in case the system senses a possible collision on the road. The system will push the brakes to pre-charge, boosting its sensitivity, allowing you to put on the brakes with full force. And in case the driver fails to act on the imminent threat, the system will automatically apply the brakes.
