Meet the new and improved Mondeo. Not only does it benefit from cosmetic updates inside and out, it also gains an all-new 238bhp EcoBoost turbo petrol engine that offers hot hatch pace and 37.7mpg fuel economy. But is it a winning formula? Auto Express took the wheel in an exclusive drive to find out. First impressions are positive. The current Mondeo was introduced in 2007 and, while it still looks sharp, the latest cosmetic tweaks have been inspired by premium models such as Audi’s A4. At the front, there are new daytime LED running lights, which give it more road presence. Plus, two grooves in the bonnet and a redesigned grille help to bring the newcomer in line with the new blue oval face, debuted by the S-MAX. The same set-up will appear on the upcoming Focus. Inside, Ford has tried to make the Mondeo feel even more like a premium product. Ambient lighting and chrome detailing on the steering wheel and switchgear feature, while there are improved, soft-touch materials. On the move, extra sound insulation ensures there’s a marked reduction in noise, too. However, the biggest news of all is the arrival of two range-topping high-performance engines – a 2.0-litre turbocharged EcoBoost petrol unit with 238bhp, and an uprated 2.2-litre TDCi Duratorq turbodiesel. The latter delivers 12 per cent more power than before, at 197bhp. Buyers will still be able to specify the current 200bhp EcoBoost petrol engine and 2.0-litre diesel units in 112bhp, 137bhp and 160bhp guises in the revamped body shape. We drove the 238bhp petrol model, and it’s hugely impressive. The most powerful Mondeo engine ever – and likely to star in the new Focus ST – it launches the newcomer from 0-62mph in 7.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 144mph. At low revs, the unit doesn’t seem particularly special, but once the turbochargers kick in above 1,900rpm, the Mondeo feels very quick. It’s worth mentioning, however, that drivers hoping for an all-round performance package will be disappointed by the lack of a sporty exhaust note. A six-speed twin-clutch PowerShift automatic transmission is the only gearbox available, and it offers fast, seamless changes. We rarely felt the need to put the selector into manual mode and take control ourselves, although it would be useful to have steering paddleshifters. Prices haven’t yet been announced, but this range-topping engine is available only in Titanium, Titanium X and Titanium X Sport trim levels. That means even the most basic model should cost around £24,000 – a lot for a car without a premium badge. But the quality cabin, strong economy and stunning performance certainly make this Mondeo feel premium class. Fuente: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carrevi...eo_driven.html |

Si ese va a ser su precio...creo q no venderá mucho. Por poner un ejemplo de algo conocido...veo mucha mejor compra un Octavia RS TFSI que con sus 200cv dudo q prestacionalmente envidie mucho a ese Mondeo. Por no hablar de ese interior...será Ford, pero coño que son 36.850e. De todos modos tiene que ser una buena máquina. S2 |

+1 Eso es un cepo en toda regla. Un A7 con 245cv lo hace en 6,5s el 0-100 y con más peso. |

Soy el unico al que le parece que meter 240cv al morro de una berlina va en contra de la fisica? Que pasa con la puta traccion trasera...? |

240 cv y hace el 0-100 en 7,5. ¿No es un poco lento (que no cepo) para tener el peso y el caballaje que tiene? |

os recuerdo que el Mondeo posiblemente tenga el mejor comportamiento de su clase,en berlinas generalistas de traccion delantera. Eso si el interior es soso soso... |

| Probablemente, vendido con un descuento de 3-4000 que Ford frecuenta por diversas vías, se quede poquito por encima de los Sciroccos de turno. Y no deja de ser una berlina en vez de un compacto. |

Y del Mazda 6. Por cierto a mi parece bastante chabacano de aspecto en interiores, como exteriores se refiere. El mondeo digo |
