Ford Mondeo
Thus, the versions' Titanium S "has a tougher suspension, which lowers the height of the body from the ground between 10 and 15 mm (depending on engine), in relation to the other versions.
Ford Mondeo
Versions' Titanium S 'is also distinguished by lower skirts and rear spoiler. The trapezoidal grille in the front skirt has a frame, silver or anthracite, depending on the color of the body. Moreover, both have a unique honeycomb. A similar framework ago contours for fog lamps. In the Rearbumper, there is an integrated air diffuser. The tires are 18 ".
Ford Mondeo
Until they reach the new engines and versions, with a body of four or five doors, the price ranges from 21,715 € ("Environment" 1.6, 123 hp) up to € 32,560 (Titanium X 2.5, 220 hp). As a launch promotion, Ford is giving away a package of options valued at 750 € (which includes elements other than depending on the level of equipment) and two years warranty (four in total) or 80,000 km 'FordProtect. "
Ford Mondeo
With the new 2.2 Diesel engine, the engine of the Ford Mondeo range is composed of four diesel and three gasoline. Diesels are 125, 130, 140 and 175 hp, with gasoline are 123, 145 hp and 220 hp. Diesels 130 hp and 175 will necessarily associate with a stick shift six-speed manual.
Ford Mondeo
Considering its price, the Ford Mondeo is one of the best saloons that are for sale. It is particularly recommended because it exceeds the average in areas such as the interior space and is among the best for comfort (not so much because of suspension, but by the little noise that comes inside) and, with some exceptions, for quality. It is also very stable, although its advantage over others is no longer as great as in the previous Ford Mondeo.
Ford Mondeo
Because of its size, you need plenty of room to maneuver (a Volkswagen Passat or a MAZDA6 are smaller and more manoeuvrable), and sometimes that can be a drawback. No maneuvering in a small space, in part, because all the bodywork of the Ford Mondeo (4p, 5p and Wagon) are very bulky. Among the bodies of 4 and 5p, the most interesting is the five-door, for several reasons: it is slightly shorter, is almost the same volume of luggage that the four-door and is more functional because the trunk is loaded with ease (thanks to the gate).
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo diesel engine with 140 hp responds well and because it has a good relationship between performance and consumption. This version 'Trend' diesel engine with 140 hp it costs € 24,715, there are cars that cost the same and which are not as extensive as the Ford Mondeo (such as the Peugeot 407, the Volkswagen Passat or the MAZDA6). However, the Ford Mondeo is not the best possible relationship between price and size inside, for example, a Skoda Superb or a Citroen C5 are also very spacious and are priced somewhat lower.
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo 2.5i engine with 220 hp is only sold with the level of equipment "Titanium X". This version has a higher price than the others, partly because their equipment as standard. Even so, there is no other sedan that is so rapidly and cheaply with similar equipment. For example, the Peugeot 407 and Citroen C5 with a V6 engine (211 hp and 207 respectively) are cheaper, but benefits are clearly worse than the Ford Mondeo 2.5T. The more interesting alternative to the Ford Mondeo 2.5i 220 hp Passat is the 2.0 TFSI 200 hp (because it has an engine that gives a somewhat better relationship between performance and consumption).
Ford Mondeo
The biggest difference between the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140 hp and 220 hp 2.5 T is in the engine. That is, Ford has not done with the 2.5 version sporting a T, with a suspension harder or with different reactions. In addition, the equipment can be identical in both versions.
The equipment of the Ford Mondeo can be very rich. Series of seven airbags (two front, two front side, two curtain-type head and one of its knees for the driver) and stability control, among other elements.
Ford Mondeo
Some of the items of equipment are very interesting locks and automatic dual-xenon headlights (which birth very well and can be combined with a system of adaptive lighting), the control system, tire pressure or the 'Bluetooth' with voice control for certain functions. The best seats bring the versions' Titanium 'and' Titanium X ', moreover, these versions come with a color screen behind the steering wheel, with more features than the monochrome screen.
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo can have two types of optional suspension, a tougher (sports) and another adjustment variable. The suspension adjustment variable operating satisfactorily, and can provide more comfort and stability in light of the circumstances. In any case, does not seem very necessary because the suspension of the Ford Mondeo range has a very good compromise between stability and comfort.
Ford Mondeo
There are two navigation systems, one with the maps on CD with monochrome screen, the other on DVD with a color screen. The Ford Mondeo has a socket for an external sound source of 3.5 mm, but no USB connection. Some items of equipment seem dispensable, and the programmer velocity asset.
Ford Mondeo
Later there will be a gasoline engine with the Ford Mondeo 2.3 liter four cylinder. From time Ford has no plans to mount six-cylinder engine (also not necessary, taking into account the benefits of version 2.5 liter 220 hp).
Ford Mondeo
Overall, the Ford Mondeo is a car more spacious inside, that most of the cars of a similar price as a Volkswagen Passat or a MAZDA6. In some cases the difference is very large, for example, compared with a Peugeot 407 or a Saab 9-3.
Ford Mondeo
Taking into account the space in the rear seats, only two are partially outweigh the Ford Mondeo, but none is generally more spacious, the Skoda Superb has more space longitudinal (for legs) and the Citroen C5 more breadth to the shoulders of occupants and slightly more than headroom to the roof in the rear seats.
Ford Mondeo
In fact, the only fault is that the habitability Ford Mondeo is that the height in the rear seats is not great for a car with a body of 1.50 meters. Both in the bodywork of four or five gates, if a person of average size sits upright (with the hip or pasted on the back) is likely to touch with its head on the ceiling. This problem is solved in the Family bodywork, which has about 6 cm in height over the rear seats.
Ford Mondeo
Although it is a spacious car, the new Ford Mondeo is not substantially larger than the previous Ford Mondeo (which was very well taken advantage of a car). Regarding the former, the main gain of the new measure is the width at shoulder height. This is seen especially in the front seats, because the doors are far from the body of the occupants. As the front seats can go a long way from the dashboard, inside the Ford Mondeo people will feel comfortable size too big.
Ford Mondeo
The differences between the different versions decorative 'Titanium' and 'Ghia' are the first to have interior coatings with metallic finish and the second timber. The sheets of metal aspect of plastic versions that are 'Titanium' are well settled, they look good, have a matte finish (not fall marked the footprints of the fingers) and do not produce annoying reflections. The controls that exist in handle the steering wheel for the radio and other functions they are metal and have a very nice touch.
Ford Mondeo
The interesting version of ‘Titanium’ is that they have unique items of equipment: a better front seats and a color display in the instrumentation (just behind the steering wheel).
Ford Mondeo
The seats of the 'Titanium' and 'Titanium X "(Ford called' ergonomic seat ') better grip the body that seats from the rest of the versions and are comfortable. They can be upholstered with Alcantara and leather or cloth ("Titanium"). All versions of the Ford Mondeo may have heated seats (standard on 'Ghia X' and 'Titanium X'), but in no case can be ventilated.
Ford Mondeo
Some drivers have been thrown into the seats might need to move closer to the ground and that support for the left foot was larger and flat. The steering wheel is leather upholstery with (the ring is rather small) and all versions can be located because the settings in height and depth are extensive. Unlike usual, the boot and features keyless access options are separate.
Ford Mondeo
Access without keys is optional in all versions (except in the 'Environment', which you can not have); boot without keys comes in versions' Ghia X 'and' Titanium X '(optional on the rest, except on "Environment") and is associated with a button to start the Ford Mondeo. We see it as something that was very comfortable and takes more than other items of equipment, worth paying for both.
Ford Mondeo
The color screen behind the instrumentation ("Panel of Advanced Instrumentation Ford Convers + ') is the type TFT and 7." Versions that are not "Titanium", have a monochrome screen, smaller one. Apart from the difference looking at the color there are more features, among others, the color screen can be accessed via the telephone "Bluetooth" from the controls of the steering wheel.
Ford Mondeo
The appearance of the instrumentation varies depending on whether the screen is either: it seems to us that the tachometer and speedometer of the instrumentation with normal versions are easier to read than the same tools that come with a color screen.
Ford Mondeo
The front air outlets of the dashboard can give a very large flow of air (and are easy to steer). To the rear seats are vents in the amount of central body.
Ford Mondeo
There are optional tinted windows and Wipe for the occupants of the rear seats. All Mondeo have dual zone air conditioning as standard, except in the equipment "Environment", which is optional.
Ford Mondeo
The dashboard has a design with some similarities to that of some new models from Ford, such as the S-Max and Galaxy. There are also clear similarities in the type of material that cover the interior, which generally yield good feeling to the touch and sight.
Ford Mondeo
An interesting element is that, as in some models of Renault, no screw cap to the fuel tank. In the Ford Mondeo, this element is combined with a system that prevents the fuel tank wrong.
Ford Mondeo
The boot of the four-door version measured volume of 535 liters and five-door 528 l. Therefore, both versions have one of the largest luggages between the cars of this type. It should be borne in mind that these data are trunk with puncture repair kit. The Ford Mondeo may have, without charge, spare tire and emergency-50 € - a spare tire in a normal-sized rim of plate. If it takes spare tire (either emergency or original size) loses the trunk about 10 cm deep.
Ford Mondeo
The boot there are two hooks for hanging bags and rings for attaching nets. The rear support is divided into two parts with proportions 60/40. If it strikes the backups in, any of the body can be a completely flat load surface with the trunk.
Ford Mondeo
The dynamic qualities of the Ford Mondeo are very good, especially those having to do with its stability and comfort in a broad sense. Taking into account both variables, the Ford Mondeo is one of the best saloons that are for sale.
Ford Mondeo
At least with this configuration of wheels and engine, the Ford Mondeo is not as comfortable as a Citroen C5, because certain irregularities that move the wheel with abruptness not arrive very attenuated inside. It is likely that some wheels with higher profile of the Ford Mondeo is even more comfortable at the expense of losing some grip. The imperfections in the asphalt behind the wheel more slowly do reach well inland and mitigated with a movement of body quality (soft and controlled).
Ford Mondeo
For the Ford Mondeo with a body of four or five-door there are two types of optional suspension. One is hard and can be mounted on all versions (for only 100 €). The other is a variable damping system ("CCD" which has three manual settings hardness of the pads, plus an adjustment variable depending on the conditions). The suspension of the series is perhaps more advisable; with it, the Ford Mondeo is going very well.
Ford Mondeo
The biggest advantage of the optional suspension adjustment variable is that, as in "Comfort" irregularities feel very little on the inside, and that can be interesting for those who travel a lot to be fast and bumpy roads.
Ford Mondeo
In assessing the suspension adjustment variable, we must also bear in mind that comes along with the assistant starter in slope, "HLA", which is a very interesting and you can not otherwise acquire.
Ford Mondeo
Although a car is very stable, the advantage of flexibility in relation to its size that had the previous model is no longer a feature in the new. When driving seems as big as it is; roads is slow or sudden changes of direction are not unfolding as other saloons very stable smaller, like a Mazda 6.
Ford Mondeo
It retains the previous model feels very good direction, which makes the Ford Mondeo responds very well to indications of the steering wheel on the curve, and the driver kept well informed of what is happening at every moment.
Ford Mondeo
At least the wheels of 18 ",it has a high lateral grip and very little tendency to lose track record in sudden maneuvers. The brakes are powerful enough to stop the Ford Mondeo normal distance and resist well enough rigorous use.
Ford Mondeo
Perhaps the least interesting of the Ford Mondeo is that their size can be a disadvantage when it comes to maneuver, in addition to the bodywork of the Ford Mondeo is very long, especially in the four-door, you need plenty of room to rotate: the diameter of rotation is 11, 45 m between curbs (ie, not counting the overhangs). Still, it's more maneuverable than a Citroen C5 (whose diameter is drawing 11.8 m).
Ford Mondeo
With the engine from 140 hp 2.0 TDCi, the Ford Mondeo has a satisfactory response both in town (from standing out well) and on the road. It's a very quiet car under any circumstances, especially when the Ford Mondeo wheel and a certain speed.
Ford Mondeo
The consumption of this version is low in this aspect, it does not note its larger size compared with other saloons Diesel. In one more road trip with city consumption is about 7.5 l/100 km. You can travel at highway speeds with a legal consumption slightly more than 6.0 l/100 km.
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo 2.5i engine with 220 hp is a very pleasant to drive on the power of the engine and its sound. It gives some good benefits for their power (a capacity of acceleration similar to that of a BMW 535 Xi 258 hp) and responds to the accelerator with the strength that only have turbocharged engines. This engine is basically the same as that which has the Focus ST, the Ford Mondeo is 220 hp at 5,000 and the Focus 225 hp at 6100 rpm.
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo with this engine does not have an extraordinary performance, but not spend too much. You can travel by highway to an average of 120 km / h (which includes a cruise of 140 km / h) at a cost of 9.3 l/100 km, provided that driving is soft and the air conditioner is turned off.
Ford Mondeo
In most demanding conditions consumption does not rise disproportionately. For example, spent 11.5 l/100 km on a main road and driving from city to a normal rhythm.
Ford Mondeo
In a tour of road racing slow the acceleration capability, spent 23.3 l/100 km, although it is much in absolute terms, is not so much for its power.
With regard to the previous model, the new growing significantly in all dimensions and, unlike the two previous generations of this model, three-dimensional body are different.
Ford Mondeo
The five-door version measuring 4778 mm in length, 1,500 mm tall and 2850 mm wheelbase. The width is not counting the mirrors 1886 m, between mirrors, comes to 2078 mm.
Ford Mondeo
The only five-door tourism larger than the Ford Mondeo is the Renault Vel Satis (4,860 mm). The Ford Mondeo four-door is even higher (4,844 mm), that is, as big as a BMW 5 Series and over the last Ford Scorpio which was for sale.
Ford Mondeo
The new Ford Mondeo is mechanical and structural elements in common with other models of the mark (the S-Max and Galaxy) and the group (the Land Rover Freelander 2 and the Volvo S80).
Ford Mondeo
The Ford Mondeo has a frame made of stamped steel panels. Some welds, like those of the side walls and roof, are made with laser. This procedure is relatively common today.
Ford Mondeo
The suspension is functionally the same as that of the previous Ford Mondeo, with McPherson front and the same kind of parallelogram deformable behind. The rear suspension is basically the same design as that of the first generation Mondeo family, with three points and one longitudinal flexible.
Ford Mondeo
This design is developing in front towing cars, either as an alternative to the torsional axis in smaller models that the Ford Mondeo or as an alternative to other systems parallelogram deformable in larger models.
Ford Mondeo
Diesel engines are direct injection, the gasoline remain indirect injection, for now, Ford has not continued to develop the engine of the previous Ford Mondeo SCI. The petrol engine provides 143 hp 2.0 liter in the new Ford Mondeo, 3 hp less than the previous one.
Ford Mondeo
In the Focus gives 116 hp (at 6,000 rpm), 125 hp (at 6300 rpm) that gives the Ford Mondeo. This engine has variable camshaft for the intake and exhaust. At least in the Focus, this engine gives a good result for both benefits for consumption.
Ford Mondeo
The five-cylinder turbocharged engine comes from Volvo, the same as that used in the Ford Focus ST, but with 220 hp at 5,000 rpm instead of 225 to 6100 rpm.
Ford Mondeo
The 2.0 liter diesel engine is Peugeot Citroen, but with a slightly different power (130 or 140 hp) instead of 136 hp. The 1.8-liter diesel engine it is Ford.
Thus, the versions' Titanium S "has a tougher suspension, which lowers the height of the body from the ground between 10 and 15 mm (depending on engine), in relation to the other versions.
Ford Mondeo
