All-New Mondeo revealed

Ford has debuted its stylish all-new global Mondeo at its 'Go Further' brand event in Amsterdam.

Ford say it is the most premium Mondeo they have ever built and raises the bar in its segment in terms of style, technology and quality.

It will be offered in 5-door wagon and 4-door variants; the latter available as first-in-class petrol Hybrid Electric Vehicle.

The latest Mondeo is equipped with the 1.0 EcoBoost petrol engine, and is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy.

It is the first model built on Ford's new global CD-segment platform. All-wheel drive diesel powertrain and retractable panoramic roof are offered for the first time; as well as segment-first adaptive full LED headlamps.

New Mondeo shows the brand's new global design language - refined, elegant, sporty and with a very impressive exterior. The low roofline enhances the sports coupe profile and incorporates a retractable panoramic glass roof for the wagon bodystyle. The interior comes with superior craftsmanship throughout the driver-focused cockpit.

It will also offer segment-first SYNC with MyFord Touch, a voice-activated in-car connectivity system that delivers an eight0inch colour touchscreen and the ability to act as a WiFi hotspot for up to five devices. It also delivers the European debut of Ford's rear inflatable seatbelts, designed to reduce head, neck and chest injuries for rear-seat passengers. In the event of an accident, the belt rapidly expands to disperse crash forces across a body area five times greater than a conventional seatbelt.
