The window openings and door shapes of the Fusion look almost exactly the same as the old Mondeo (including the wagon) and the wheelbase is identical, because CD4 is an evolution of EUCD. On the other hand FG is completely different from AU/BA, the doors have much less tumblehome (curvature in towards the roof) and are inset in the frames rather than wrapping over them, plus note the change in rear door cut line at the wheel arch. There are only a couple of minor pressings on the underside of the car that didn't change from BF-FG, the FG is basically all-new.
You are correct though in saying there are only front & rear cosmetic changes, it would be far too costly to do anything with the doors and roof.
