Stephen Odell, Chairman and CEO, Ford of Europe

BRENTWOOD, Essex, 25 August 2010  –  Ford of Europe
is launching the most stylish and technologically advanced Mondeo model
ever. With a fresh, restyled exterior, an enhanced interior, plus new
high-efficiency Ford EcoBoost petrol and TDCi diesel powertrains and a
host of new driver comfort and convenience features and safety
technologies, the new Mondeo completes the rejuvenation of Ford’s large
car range, and takes its position as the flagship model in the company’s
European portfolio.
Following significant updates to the Ford S-MAX and Galaxy models
earlier this year, the new Mondeo on sale in September/October is the
latest Ford car to benefit from the continuing evolution of Ford kinetic
design.
New Mondeo will see the first application of a higher performance
240PS derivative of the efficient new 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost
turbocharged petrol engine, joining the existing 203PS version of this
engine, introduced in Mondeo, new S-MAX and new Galaxy earlier in 2010.
The latest Mondeo also introduces a comprehensively revised version
of the 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, which boasts a 12 per
cent power increase to 200PS, making it the most powerful Ford Duratorq
diesel engine so far.
Mondeo design
The new Mondeo is set to build on the model’s established reputation
as a stylish, versatile and great-to-drive vehicle, and for offering
high levels of driving enjoyment and comfort to its occupants.
Central to this is the application of a fresh look for both body
styles available in the UK – five door and wagon – to distinguish the
new model. Ford’s design team set out to emphasise further the kinetic
design signatures in each body style while incorporating new
technologies such as LED lighting.
Bolder graphics and proportions at the front end, including larger
lower trapezoidal and slimmer upper grilles, plus a revised bonnet
profile and integral new LED day running lights further emphasise the
Mondeo’s premium appeal and sporty stance.
New Mondeo’s sleek lines are emphasised in the side profile by a new,
full chrome window surround for the higher series models, while larger,
re-designed, LED tail lamps give additional kinetic movement to the
rear.
Sophisticated interior
The interior of the new Mondeo has also been comprehensively reworked
to give it a higher level of quality and sophistication through
meticulous attention to detail, and by employing new, higher quality
trim materials.
The re-designed centre console flows more elegantly, while the door
panels feature a new ‘toproll’ and flush, integrated, door release
mechanisms. Further enhancements include a new central overhead console
featuring LED ambient lighting, and a woven headliner.
The use of new high quality interior trim materials in new Mondeo
boost the overall feeling of craftsmanship and are complemented by
high-class inlay foils and new ‘jewel’ detailing on switches and vents
in satin chrome. New interior colour schemes also offer two new lighter
interior executions for a rich, premium, appeal.
New powertrains
The new Mondeo offers a wide range of Ford’s latest high-efficiency
powertrain technologies, delivering a key combination of fuel efficiency
and low emissions, yet still maintaining Ford’s renowned driving
enjoyment.
New Mondeo is the first Ford of Europe model to feature a more powerful 240PS version of the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost power unit. This joins the existing 203PS engine already available in Mondeo and the new S-MAX and Galaxy.
Lightweight all-aluminum construction is the key to the new 2.0-litre
Ford EcoBoost engine, which features latest-generation high-pressure
direct injection, low-inertia turbocharging and twin independent
variable cam timing. It has an advanced combustion system which
contributes significantly to achieving new levels of performance and
fuel efficiency for petrol engines in this power range.
Average CO₂ emissions of just 179 g/km are achieved for
the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost engine, regardless of the power rating or
body style. Ford EcoBoost technology offers fuel consumption and
emission reductions of up to 20 per cent compared with conventional
petrol engines of a similar performance.
New Mondeo also introduces a significantly re-engineered version of the 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi
diesel engine, which now boasts a 12 per cent peak power increase to
200PS, making it the most powerful Ford Duratorq diesel to date.
This new powerhouse is joined by the significantly improved 2.0-litre
Duratorq TDCi diesel introduced to the Mondeo range earlier this year,
and available with 115, 140 or 163PS power ratings, all three of which
deliver average CO₂ emissions of just 139 g/km with a
six-speed manual transmission and regardless of body style. Existing
1.6- and 2.0-litre Ford Duratec petrol engines have also been retained,
offering 120 and 145PS outputs.
New 1.6-litre engines from the Ford EcoBoost petrol and Duratorq TDCi
diesel engine families will be available in the future to extend the
wide powertrain choice even further.
New Ford ECOnetic Technologies are also available on
new Mondeo to help ensure efficient and economical motoring.
Innovations include Smart Regenerative Charging, the Ford Eco Mode
driver information system and, for the first time in a Ford model, an
Active Grille Shutter system. This electronically controlled device
regulates the airflow through the radiator and engine compartment,
reducing aerodynamic drag and benefitting engine heating characteristics
to improve fuel economy and warm-up performance, particularly in cold
climates.
Powertrain advances seen in the new Mondeo also extend to the transmission, with the latest Ford PowerShift
double wet-clutch transmission system fitted as standard equipment with
Ford EcoBoost petrol engines and available as an option with 140PS and
163PS versions of the 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi.
New technologies for enhanced safety and comfort
Mondeo’s wide range of the latest driver assistance technologies
includes Lane Departure Warning, Driver Alert and Auto High Beam – all
utilising a new high sensitivity camera unit located at the top of the
windscreen in front of the rear view mirror.
Also extending to Mondeo are many features already introduced on the
latest S-MAX and Galaxy models, including Ford’s Blind Spot Information
System, Speed Limiter, Rear Door Power Child Locks and Rear View Camera.
LED lighting technology is used for the daytime running lights and rear
tail and brake lamps as well as inside the car.
UKprices will be carried over from the existing Mondeo pricelist
starting at £17,295.  The high-level Titanium series will increase by
£200 to £19,945 to reflect new features.
