Ford is gearing up to unveil the most desirable Mondeo ever. With a look inspired by the stylish four-door Evos concept car, plus a host of
hi-tech kit, the saloon will hope to shift its everyday image.
More conventional engines will make up the rest of the range, including Ford’s 1.6
and 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol turbos. In the current car,
the latter produces 200bhp and returns 36mpg economy, while the 1.6 – as found in the C-MAX
– will offer 150bhp and 180bhp outputs. Also available will be a range of diesel models, including a 112bhp 1.6-litre TDCi and a 2.0 TDCi with 137bhp or 163bhp.
Under the skin will be a
modified version of the current Mondeo’s front-wheel-drive
chassis, which will include
torque vectoring for the first time.
This helps to shuffle power between the front wheels in
corners to prevent understeer.
Inside, the impressive fit
and finish and high-quality
materials used in recent Fords will help the Mondeo bridge
the gap to more expensive
rivals from Audi and BMW. A range of hi-tech gadgets will make the newcomer one
of the most advanced models
on the road.
