Despite thelooks, this is an ali-
newFordMondeo.lt concen trates on comfort more than
■ before, and it has a range of * new engines to cut emissions
and improve fuel economy., Prime among these are new 1.0-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-li- tre turbodiesel motors that
''bring a new wave of downsiz ing to the family car class. There are fewer dash but-
tons to come to terms with and Ford now fits a large touch screen to operate many func tions. On top of this, Ford’s7
! Sync2 voice control system lets the driver change set-' tings with simple commands while keeping both hands on' the steering wheel., Atfirstglance,youcouldbe forgiven for thinking the new
- fifth generation Ford Mondeo is not much more than a face lifted version of the previous car. The overall silhouette is much the same, as is much of
the rear end style. However, the slimmer headlights give
• a sleeker look that will be key
■ to the Mondeo clawing back salesfromthelikesoftheAudi
A4'andBMW3Seriesthathave proved,so popular with their premium images. - . : V .If the Mondeo is riot seen :
. as quite as premium as those rivals from Audi and BMW, i t . easily betters them for cabin
space and load lugging. Most UK buyers will opt for the Mondeo hatch of estate, with .
■ only the Hybrid version avail able as a saloon. There is masses of room in
the rear and there is a wealth of adjustment to fine tune the driving position that in cludes electric seat heightad-
justment. As for the boot, the hatch’s is large and the estate’s is cavernous.
Ford has made a con
scious effort to make the new Mondeo an even more com fortable car than its predeces sor. This means the new car’s suspension has a little more compliance that translates in
to a superblysmooi ride over any type of road sur face. Refinement is also top drawer, so the Mondeo is a class leader for hushed long distance travel. The 2.0-litre
turbodiesel can be a touch gruff at low revs, but settles into the background at speed, while the other engines are quiet and pull cleanly.
While more refined, the
Mondeo retains its ability to hustle through corners with composed ease, though the new ca r ’s steering is
e
not quite as alert as the old model’s.
. Starting at £20,795 for the
hatch and £23,795 for the es tate, the Mondeo is not as keenly priced as its arch-ri val, the Vauxhall Insignia. However, the Mondeo com pensates with a generous lev el of equipment that includes digital radio, climate control, cruise control, hill start as sist, alloy wheels on all mod els and Ford’s 8-inch Sync2 touchscreen. Ford may have lost sales
ground to its premium rivals, but the bulk of sales for the new Mondeo will still come from company car drivers. Carbon dioxide emissions that dip below loog/km and up to
78.5mpgaverageeconomywill appeal to business users and
private buyers alike. Crucially, the Mondeo is
keenly priced compared to its premium rivals from Ger many, though it’s hard to see many UK buyers abandoning their premium-badged sa loons for a Mondeo hatch.
