New Ford Mondeo

New Ford Mondeo
With a restyled exterior, updated interior and a new range of engine choices, the Ford Mondeo is set to be on sale across the nation in showrooms from October 2010. This will be the fifth generation of Ford Mondeo, which has seen its popularity increase year on year from its launch.

The new model features the latest in kinetic design similar to the S-Max and the Galaxy Ford models and enhancements and changes have been made across the body and engine. From the new and enhanced bonnet profile to the front bumpers with LED lights and re designed rear lights with LED technology, the new Mondeo promises to be slicker and better than ever whilst maintaining its affordability.

There's a new centre console in the interior and customers will be able to specify the trim they want across the whole range. There's the first application of a higher performance engine. A 238bhp version of the 2.0 litre Ford Eco Boost turbocharged petrol engine. This will provide extra performance whilst averaging the same CO2 emissions as the 201bhp unit, regardless of the body style.

A 12% power increase to the 198bhp has been made making the revised 2.2 litre Ford Duratorq TDC1 engine the most powerful Duratorq diesel engine to date. The new Mondeo will possess a blind spot information system, speed limiter, rear door power child locks and a rear view camera, similar to the latest S-Max and Galaxy models. New driver assistance features have been included with the new Mondeo which should appeal to the fleet customers including lane departure warning, driver alert and auto high beam.

The Ford Mondeo has been a popular car choice for private and fleet buyers since its launch in 1993. Renowned for its driving ability coupled with its affordability makes the Ford Mondeo a popular choice time and again for families. There have already been four generations and whilst some have sold better than others the car itself has always won awards from What Car to Top Gear Car of the Year through to numerous awards from various car magazines.
