For 2012, the XF saw some exterior design changes, which is most obvious when you look at the front of the car, where the old sheetmetal bulge over the headlights is gone in favor of a more
streamlined headlight design.
The 2013 Fusion trades the 2012 model's shuttered fascia for a
streamlined hexagonal grille and a sharply set array of
headlights —
design elements descended from the EVOS concept car that Ford unveiled at last year's Frankfurt Auto Show.
