2011fiesta Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 _____________________________________________________________________ New 2015 Ford Mondeo to cost from £20,795 Ford has revealed the new Mondeo range will cost from £20,795 – and it’s on sale now, with deliveries at last promised by the end of 2014. The long overdue new Mondeo range will compromise the familiar line-up of Style, Zetec, Titanium and Titanium X versions, offered in five-door hatchback and a petrol-electric hybrid saloon, plus a bespoke-for-Europe estate version. The single Titanium Hybrid, costing £24,995, means the Mondeo will be offered in petrol, diesel and hybrid for the first time in its 20-year history – and every single engine in the line-up is turbocharged too. The hybrid will average 67.3mpg and emit 99g/km CO2, but the 1.6-litre TDCi 115 diesel is even better; it’s capable of up to 78.5mpg and emits as little as 94g/km CO2. It is, however, the only diesel to dip under the 100g/km CO2 barrier; only one engine from the 2.0-litre diesel range of 150hp and 180hp motors dips under the 110g/km mark. Petrol alternatives compromise 1.5 Ecoboost SCTi 160 and 2.0 Ecoboost SCTi 240 – the much-anticipated 1.0-litre Ecoboost, the smallest engine ever fitted to the Mondeo by some margin, arrives in early 2015. An all-wheel-drive version also comes in 2015. Generous spec for new Mondeo Built in Spain, all versions of the new Ford Mondeo offer climate control, DAB radio, Emergency Assistance telematics, cruise control and SYNC2 infotainment with 8-inch colour touchscreen. The Zetec adds details such as speed limiter, front fog lamps, more body-coloured exterior panels and Quickclear heated windscreen. It can also be fitted with sat nav for £300. The combination of SYNC2 and sat nav means the new Mondeo’s smart voice command system can seek out restaurants simply by the driver saying ‘I’m hungry’. Titanium X has bigger alloys, sports seats, standard sat nav and a fully electronic instrument pack, with Titanium X boasting full LED headlights, electric leather seats and rear privacy glass. Ford has pinpointed several key models it expects will become best-sellers, including the 2.0-litre TDCi 150 ECO Zetec, costing £22,545, and the £23,495 2.0-litre TDCi 150 Titanium. 2015 Ford Mondeo prices Mondeo Style: prices from £20,795 Mondeo Zetec: prices from £21,045 Mondeo Titanium: prices from £22,245 Mondeo Titanium X: prices from £24,245 2015 Ford Mondeo engines PETROL 1.0 Ecoboost (early 2015) 1.5 Ecoboost SCTi 160 2.0 Ecoboost SCTi 240 2.0 iVCT 187 Hybrid DIESEL 1.6 Duratorq TDCi 1150 Econetic 2.0 Duratorq TDCi 150 Econetic 2.0 Duratorq TDCi 150 2.0 Duratorq TDCi 180 http://www.motoringresearch.com/car-news/new-2015-ford-mondeo-cost-20795-0929950324 ______________________________________________________________ New Ford Mondeo 2015 price, specs & release date Safest Ford Mondeo yet gets new engines, fresh kit and sophisticated rear suspension The 2015 Ford Mondeo will cost from £20,795 when it goes on sale by the end of the year. The range which includes four trim levels, rises to £27,550. Specification highlights include an automatic braking system capable of detecting humans and a engine range including a 1.0-litre petrol engine and a new twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre diesel producing 207bhp. For the first time in the Mondeo range a petrol-electric hybrid will be offered. As with the current car, hatchback and estate models will be available but the new car will see the reintroduction of a four-door saloon. New Ford Mondeo 2015 specs and equipmentThe new Ford Mondeo is the safest the company has ever built thanks to a raft of new features and a body that's 40 per cent stiffer. The new safety features are led by the latest autonomous braking system technology. It can detect humans and can reduce the severity of a collision (or completely avoid it) at speeds of up to 50mph. The system can recognise humans in the road, or those about to enter the car's path using cameras mounted on the windscreen. If it detects an imminent collision an audible warning sounds and the brakes are primed for action. If the warnings are ignored, the car applies the brakes independently. That system is backed up by Active City Stop, which can apply the brakes when it detects an imminent collision with a car at speeds of up to 25mph. Pre-Collision Assist uses radar and cameras to scan up to 200m ahead and can apply the full force of the brakes if required. For the first time the Mondeo will be available with inflatable rear seat belts that can keep the passenger tightly strapped in the event of an accident. The new system is backed up by a further nine airbags. Other safety features available on the new Mondeo include Adaptive Cruise Control, which can match the speed of the car in front, and Lane Keeping Aid which gently steers the car in lane. Traffic sign recognition, which displays roadside information on the dashboard, is another option. LED headlamps that can be used on full beam without blinding other road users, and an automatic parking system, which can parallel park and reverse into bays, complete the new Mondeo's substantial list of safety features. New Ford Mondeo 2015 enginesThe 2015 Ford Mondeo will have a wide range of engines from launch. Diesel engines will form the core of the engine range with three 2.0-litre diesel engines as well as a 1.6-litre engine. The 1.6 is the economy chamption with CO2 emissions rated at 94g/km, but even the 2.0-litre diesels won't emit much more. The flagship diesel is an all-new 2.0-litre engine thar produces 207bhp thanks to the use of twin turbochargers, much like the new engine to be found in the next-generation Volkswagen Passat. The petrol line-up embodies the concept of downsizing, with 1.0-litre, 1.5 and 2.0-litre engines available. The 1.0-litre engine, which is also fitted to the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus, will produce 123bhp and CO2 emissions of 119g/km for a £30 annual road tax bill when it goes on sale in early 2015. The 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine will be offered with 158bhp and CO2 emissions of 134g/km. The 148 and 178bhp versions of the 2.0-litre diesel engine will be available in either front-wheel drive, or in a first for the Ford Mondeo, four-wheel drive. Ford Mondeo HybridFor the first time the Mondeo will also be available as a hybrid. It will be sold as a four-door saloon only and will have emissions low enough to be exempt from paying road tax. The Mondeo Hybrid will use a 2.0-litre petrol engine and two electric motors - one to drive the wheels and another to recharge the battery. The lithium-ion batteries are anticipated to last 10 years and 150,000 miles. The engine and motors will work in conjunction with a CVT automatic gearbox. Like the rest of the range, it will be fitted with a number of features that cut drag by 10 per cent to further aid economy, including grilles that close to make the car slip through the air more efficiently and automatic start-stop. New Ford Mondeo 2015 driveFord has become a master of producing cars that are not only comfortable, but also fun to drive and the new model looks set to continue the trend. Its sophisticated rear suspension gives more absorption than the old setup, but features a stiffer construction for more direct handling. It's bolted to a chassis that is 10 per cent stiffer and significantly lighter than the old car's for even more accurate handling. Ford will also throw in a long list of electronic aids - including the strangely-named Active Nibble Compensation - all making it safer and easier to drive quickly. The introduction of electric power steering means Ford can now offer steering weight settings including Comfort, Normal and Sport, which can work in tandem with Ford's Continuous Control Damping. It optimises the car's suspension depending on the road surface. New Ford Mondeo 2015 interiorCrucial to the new Ford Mondeo is an added sense of quality something that is also being chased by the new VW Passat and the facelifted new Peugeot 508. That comes not only in the form of the car's classy new chrome grille, but also in improved interior quality thanks to premium finishes and soft-touch plastics. Interior road noise has been reduced by three decibels in the rear and two decibels in the front, while the rear windows are made of thicker glass to reduce wind noise. Added sound deadening and improved seals ensure this will be the quietest Mondeo yet. The new Mondeo comes with the most affective air-conditioning system in class – capable of cooling from 55 degrees centigrade to 18 degrees centigrade in 15 minutes. New equipment includes a power-adjustable, memory-equipped steering column, a power tailgate; heated steering wheel plus heated and cooled front seats with a massage function. Another new feature is the Ford SYNC 2 voice recognition system, which is operated via an eight-inch touchscreen and can act on voice commands as well as reading incoming text messages. It also gets Ford's MyKey – a key that lets you limit the car's top speed and the stereo's maximum volume, for the use of younger drivers. New Ford Mondeo 2015 release date & priceThe 2015 Ford Mondeo is priced from £20,795 for the entry-level five-door Mondeo 1.6 TDCI ECOnetic in Style trim. Estate models start at £22,045. New Ford Mondeo 2015 trimsFour trim levels are available in the Ford Mondeo range: Style, Zetec, Titanium and Titanium with X pack (or Titanium X as it's more commonly known. Style models, which start at £20,795 include 8in colour touchscreen, 16in alloy wheels, DAB radio, dual zone climate control air con and cruise control. Zetec models, priced from £21,045 feature power folding door mirrors, heated front windscreen and height and lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat. Satnav is available for an additional £300. Titanium models, which cost from £22,245 add 17in alloy wheels, sports seats, satnav, automatic headlights and wipers, traffic sign recognition and lane keeping aid which helps to prevent drifting out of lane. Active park assist is available for £450. Titanium X models, priced from £24,745 feature LED headlights, leather trim, electric and heated front seats and tinted glass. A memory function for the electric steering wheel adjustment is a £200 option. New Ford Mondeo VignaleFord will also introduce an upmarket version of the Mondeo called the Ford Mondeo Vignale. It will compete with the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. Ford has equipped it with plenty of upmarket features including big alloy wheels, chrome door handles, a new grille, a redesigned front bumper and new fog lights. The interior also gets a premium makeover, with quilted leather seats, luxury floor mats and leather on the dashboard and steering wheel. As it will sit at the top of the Ford Mondeo range, we expect it to cost upwards of £30,000, but the price will include a high-end care package that aims to give excellent levels of customer service. http://www.carbuyer.co.uk/news/91004/new-ford-mondeo-2015-price-specs-release-date#ixzz3EjseAIHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011fiesta Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Never understood why there's different names for the same thing lol, there's tomato and toe-may-toe but fusion and mondeo... Lol. Never the less it looks sweet! Yeah I know lol. Probably just because before Ford starting doing 'world' or 'one' Fords the vehicles were rarely the same on different continents so they wouldn't share names. Now they're the same vehicle worldwide US customers for example familiar with the 'Fusion' name could be put off getting another one if it was dropped and suddenly replaced with this new unheard of 'Mondeo' model that has no history to them. I imagine if they renamed the UK's Mondeo to 'Fusion', people would be like, "What the hell, that tall boxy little city hatch we used to have is now this stunning family car!? And where's our Mondeo gone?" - as lets face it the average non-Ford fan isn't going to know or care that the same vehicle is sold elsewhere but under a different name. Same for the latest Kuga I guess. - In the US its called the 'Escape' because that was the name of the small crossover it replaced on the Ford US line up. And US buyers would find it odd if their Escape SUV was suddenly called a 'Kuga' - especially as nowadays hearing the word Kuga more often than not brings the thought of an older woman chasing younger men, than it does the wild cat COUGAR. lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One unanticipated effect of that is confusion. I once asked a local dealer for a servicing price for my old Cougar, and while I was walking away shaking my head, I noticed that the price they had quoted me was the same as the price they had posted for a Kuga. I assume that they just made a simple mistake and got it wrong (sort of understandable, but they might have asked), but it didn't get them the business.

2011fiesta Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but like the new-Focus, the new-Mondeo now has it's own page(s) online at http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/AllNewMondeo _______________________________________________________________ Additionally, Autocar has its new-Mondeo reviews online: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ford/mondeo At long last, a new Ford Mondeo. Ford insists the wait, although unwanted, has not been wasted. This, it claims, is the best looking, best equipped and best model to drive there has ever been. Of course it’s been the America-based Fusion for quite some time already, but the manufacturer’s One Ford policy has not prohibited some fairly heavy-duty Europe-spec fettling. For a start, there are more body styles. A five-door hatchback and estate largely supersede the saloon format this side of the pond, and are available with a broader engine lineup – encompassing the 1.0 and 1.5-litre Ecoboost petrol units for the first time. More pertinently, 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesel motors are also offered, including the Econetic version that will emit just 107g/km CO2 and return 69.9mpg. There’s a hybrid, too, a new offering for the UK, but already in its third generation Stateside. Underneath, its predecessor’s platform has been sufficiently recycled for Ford to consider it new, and the body Shell incorporates hydro-formed high strength steel in the A- and B-pillars – an industry first. At the rear, the control blade rear suspension has been replaced by a new integral link design, which, mostly by virtue of its alternative mounting to the subframe, delivers a significant NVH advantage. In Europe, the Mondeo is offered with the option of adaptive dampers as well. The pursuit of greater refinement – also apparent in the upgrade and addition of sound deadening material throughout the car – has been an obvious focus of the Mondeo’s development, as the manufacturer seeks to re-establish the model in a D segment now populated with far more premium options than ever before, and fundamentally squeezed by the rise of the compact SUV. Its new look is a crucial part of that strategy, and it would be a harsh critic not to concede that Ford has made considerable progress here. Stroll around the new car, and its mass and proportions feel very familiar, but the look is quantifiably sleeker – its desirability elevated from airport taxi to credible gravel drive-filler in one impressive fell swoop. While not quite at the same standard, its cabin continues the push upmarket. Hamstrung by its prolonged lifecycle, the previous model’s interior marked it out as primevally last-gen. In the latest car, eight-inches of dash-mounted touchscreen, powered by Ford’s SYNC2 system, confidently ushers the Mondeo into this decade. Around it, Ford has corralled a handsome, uncluttered dash design; somewhat reminiscent, in its look and material choices, of a Lexus-stylearchitecture – which is definitely meant as a compliment. As before, the roominess going backwards is generally excellent. Accommodating adult-sized children in the back remains very much part of the Mondeo brief, and while the estate in particular excels thanks to the extra headroom afforded by its taller roofline, all versions are old fashioned D-segment heavyweights. Naturally, that goes for the boot too, which, if you forgo a spare wheel, offers a massive 525 litres of loadspace in the hatchback. The estate, seats flat, puts close to 1700 litres at your disposal. If that all sounds a little like the old Mondeo, albeit successfully renovated, rejigged and remodelled, then that’s much like it feels to sit in – but not entirely as it is to drive. Initially, whether aboard the hatch or estate, powered by petrol or diesel, the car’s across-the-board enhancement of comfort and quietness is its compelling feature. More than ever, this feels like a machine to rack up the miles in. Even on passive springs, the bump absorption is generally excellent. Fordhas engineered a real ‘breath’ into the chassis, it’s primary ride being far more supple than the segment standard and capable of smoothing out the long wave undulations typical of fast A roads. The sought-for surrounding hush only amplifies the effect, and claims that the rolling refinement experienced by rear passengers has also substantially improved are easily believable. For the most part, all engines driven thus far chime with the charm offensive. The 178bhp 2.0-litre TDCi’s rumble is virtually extinguished at a cruise, and its torque band is generous enough to make the big Mondeo a suitably tractable affair. The 158bhp 1.5-litre Ecoboost feels a touch more overworked by the scale of the task – not helped by long, later ratios on its six-speed manual gearbox – but, by and large, it lives up to one’s expectations of a current generation downsized petrol engine. The hybrid, which teams a 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol motor with an 118bhp electric motor (the drive harmonised via a planetary gearset) is less satisfactory. The saloon-only version delivers 99g/km CO2 motoring for no more than the equivalent diesel model, but it proves a detached drive in the atypical mode; heavier inputs triggering the distant drone of an engine made to play generator, rather than tangible, biddable power source. Nevertheless, it’s conceivable that for some Mondeo buyers, the lack of interactivity might not matter. Its predecessor was the last Ford passenger car to feature hydraulic power steering, and, predictably, its electric replacement doesn’t measure up to quite the same standard. Combined with the uprated plushness, this leaves you feeling less immediately keyed into the overall driving experience. It therefore takes far longer to get under the thicker skin. The previous Mondeo, invested with the crisper steering and a tauter attitude, made brisk progress a default state of being; here, with its loping suppleness constantly taking the edge off, the new machine makes it easier – and seemingly more natural – to just go with the road’s meandering flow. The sense of detachment then, is a two-way street. Apply a more forceful intent, and the car eventually responds in kind. Here the adaptive dampers come into their own, primarily because the Sport setting trims the suspension travel, keeping you neatly flatter right when required. True, there’s still a less satisfying relationship with the nose than before - but its linear grip and accuracy isn’t in question; nor is Ford’s enduring ability to plumb a neutral balance into a large front-drive chassis. Tellingly, the Mondeo only gets more likeable the longer you sit in it. The difference Ford has harped on about for so long is still there; immediately recognisable in the car’s ability to cosset over longer distances and gradually convincing in the well-tuned control weights that mean you never tire of using them. There is much more to come – not least all-wheel-drive, passive sports suspension and more powerful engines – but Ford is already off to a great start. At long last. ____________________________________________________________________ And Auto Express': Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisroberson99 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I saw a new Fusion in Cyprus! LHD so I presume it had some from the U.S, and the rear indicators were red. my dad said it might be someone from the US military working in Turkey and had brought their car over.

Mav281 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I placed an order back end of last week and got confirmation of it this morning. I've gone for the Hybrid as its a company car. Frozen White, Titanium with X Pack, Front and Rear parking sensors. Apparently it's due first week of April, so got a few months to wait :( Will be my first Mondeo since I had a 55 plate ST TDCI so looking forward to coming back to the blue oval!

Mav281 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I stuck with the Mondeo, it's a company car so I was keen to get something as well speced as possible but also as economical as possible well bring down the cost of BIK Tax. Will be interesting to see how it drives - the hybrid gets mixed reviews in terms of its performance, so Im very much hoping it's not as bad as some reviews suggest and as good as some of the other reviews say it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
