Over the years this
car has grown up and engineers made it a better car than previous versions
Beautiful wide grill, sleek
modern headlamps and beautifully designed wheels make the new Ford Mondeo an
appealing car. Since its launch in 1992, when it replaced Sierra, Ford wants to
go global with the same model. It was launched all over Europe and sold in the
United States too.
In estate body design the
car faces competition from many rivals so it needs to improve in every new
model. Though this car by Ford has been sold in big markets of Europe and North
America but could not inspire many buyers. For carmakers, it is rather
difficult to launch a model of the same car with variations for different
regions so they find it easier to go with one same model.
Mondeo is the first such
car from Ford. Over the years this car has grown up and engineers made it a
better car than previous versions. This continuous effort from engineers keeps
the car buyers on their toes to know about the upcoming model of Mondeo.
It is available in three
body designs i.e. Ford
Mondeo saloon, hatchback, and estate. The range of engines and trims is
also wide so you can choose from these options. Petrol electric hybrid model is
also present in the line-up just like any other modern-day car. You were
offered as many as seven trims till 2017.
Now there are just five and
these get more standard features. Reconditioned
Ford Mondeo engines for sale enhance your choice for the
replacement unit. When an engine goes through testing, you can trust it more
than any other used car unit.
Ford all wheels drive system is also available
New Mondeo looks aggressive
and inside generous space gives you the desired comfort. You hardly find
anything bad about it though some areas are average like the infotainment
system. The engine range starts with a 1.0-litre Eco-boost petrol unit and it
returns the best fuel average.
Then come two other
Eco-boost units 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre, which are available in power variants.
There is also a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid unit so plenty of choices are present
in the line-up. 2.0-litre
Ford Mondeo replacement engines are good to install.
The electric hybrid model of the car is only available in the Saloon body type.
Roof rails are standard on
all models but panoramic glass sunroof is optional even on Titanium trim and it
is an expensive choice. Diesel engine units are 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre and
later comes with 207 bhp output. Most buyers prefer 148 bhp output or 178 bhp
output models. Ford all wheels drive system is also available in selected
models.
You will find it good for
the desired traction. Power delivery to the rear becomes more when front wheels
could not find the required traction. In this way, it works very intelligently
and gives you good drive experience in tough conditions.
There is the possibility to
keep its front wheels drive vehicle in normal conditions and save fuel. The
manual gearbox is available and many buyers prefer it over other options. New
Mondeo has been built on a stronger but light weight frame so you will expect
better agility.
It is standard for all models
The boot area is of good
size and you will find many estate models of other cars offering similar boot
areas. The latest Ford Sync 3 system has been incorporated in this car to give
you the best entertainment and information sharing possibility. It is standard
for all models of the car. Interior build quality is not fantastic and the use
of average quality plastic is seen.
You can control the menus
on the screen through touch alone as there is no knob present on the dashboard
for this purpose. This makes navigation hard while moving. In standard Zetec
trim you get 17 inches alloy wheels, projector headlamps, LED rear lights,
parking sensors, cruise control, powered side mirrors and much more. This is
why you can happily drive with these standard features of the new Mondeo.
When Ford improve safety features and comfort
Weight loss of 25 kg has been
claimed from the previous 1.6-litre unit model of the new 1.5-litre unit. It is
a reasonable reduction in weight. Ford Mondeo in Estate body style is the
heaviest among three body styles but some other estate cars are even heavier.
Ride quality has been improved with multi linked rear suspension and electric
power steering makes manoeuvring simply easier.
New Ford Mondeo architecture is made of predominate steel as sixty-one
per cent high strength steel is used with other materials like magnesium. This has
made the new model of the car significantly lighter in weight. When Ford
improves safety features and comforts the car gains 90 kg of the lost weight
back so the difference is only 25 kg from the previous model.
Standard features of lane keeping assistance, auto parking, and auto braking with pedestrian detection are present in Titanium trim. You can choose massage seats from optional luxury features to make it an upscale lavish vehicle. Ford Mondeo has always been good at offering generous space and now this cabin offers you modern tech features as well. Three passengers on rear seats is not an issue at all and in this body style roofline goes further back so headroom is not an issue for taller people.
