Style, Performance and Ford Mondeo

Refined Car with Updated Technology and Upmarket Inside out

You like a Mondeo or not, it sure attracts attention when on road. The lines and cuts plus the grill complement each other in the best way. The slightest of details have been given due importance and not only the front, but even the rear is also styled fantastically. The category in which it falls is a tough one but it sure gives the rivals a tough competition. In the upgrade, it becomes more refined and with more high tech tools. The best part is that the dimensions are well managed not having the wordless in any sense. There is a good space for front and back seats as well as the boot. It is a very practical family car due to the spacious cabin and the boot especially which families always like big so as to store as many luggage as desired. It is true that Mondeo is not an inexpensive car, but afterward, it is good to drive and cheap to run which make it a great purchase for many. Criticisms are always there in the market even the finest of cars are not spared of it. But when you actually drive one, they seem to vanish away. Some say Ford Mondeo engines are not what they should be, while there are others like the way they behave.

A Nice Line-up of Engines

There is something for everyone in Mondeo. The petrol range has all the engines with Eco Boost and an engine as small as 1.0-litre with 123 bhp. This might be thought of as an inappropriate capacity for a big car like this but in actual it does a good job for its power. Then the 1.5-litre engine which is also a nice choice if you are ok with a moderate performance. 

The range topper is the 2.0-litre with 237 bhp having a good speed. The diesel are more favorites among the Mondeo fans. It starts with a 1.5-litre TDCi with 118 bhp. To get a bigger one there is a 2.0-litre TDCi unit with 148 bho, 177 bhp, and 207 bhp. If you are after speed then avoid 177 bhp versions and go for either 207 bhp or the 148 bhp. Ford engine supply and fit is an amazing service ready to facilitate you whenever needed.

Design and Technology

The exterior is no doubt amazing with a sleek front and a clean rear it surely cast a magic to the onlooker. In fact, the shape gives a hint of compliance with aerodynamics. The inside has also been improved with its last update and the materials have gained standard. It is now standing aligns with the premium standard which matches its looks at the outside. The touch points are soft to touch and overall there is a pleasant environment inside. For the technology and user convenience side, there is a buttoned climate control instead of a touch system. 

There is an 8-inch center touchscreen for radio and sat-nav, there are heated seats, DAB radio, two USB ports, SYNC2 voice-activates connectivity is also there to make hands-free phone calls and hear text messages. In the latest versions, there is an improved SYNC3 system and Apple CarPlay is also introduced.

Strong Safety Side

There might be questions about the reliability of this car but there is no doubt that it is safe for the occupants as well as the pedestrians on road. Adult protection, child protection and on foot people are all calculated separately to give exact figures. There is only one problem and that is you have to spend more to get the best safety package. Driver alert and lane-keeping alert are standard on higher trims while optional on others. Apart from the usual, there are rear seatbelt airbags which reduce the pressure on the body.
