Ford upgrade its Mondeo

Ford has upgraded versions of its Mondeo that will now offer C02 emissions reduced by up to 8 percent, improved fuel efficiency, upgraded equipment levels on mid and high series, and pricing from €23,950, writes Trish Whelan.

With these upgrades, Mondeo models equipped with the 2.0 diesel engine will offer C02 emissions from 119g/km - a reduction of up to 10g/km. Fuel consumption has been reduced to 4.6 L/100km from 4.9 L/100km. Annual road tax is €200.

The entry level Mondeo Graphite will offer 16-inch alloys and Ford 6000 CD/Radio system. Zetec models will include SD Navigation with 7-inch touchscreen, heated windscreen and Bluetooth connectivity with voice control and USB connection. Titanium Plus models add full leather interior, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control and SD Navigation Plus. Cruise Control will be standard on all 1.6 Duratorq diesel engine models.

Ford say this is the most stylish, most practical and most luxurious Mondeo ever produced.

The improvements in C02 emissions also benefit customers specifying 2.0 Duratorq engine-equipped Ford Galaxy and S-MAX models that will now offer 139g/km C02 emissions.
