2013 Ford Mondeo Aims For The Top Of Its Class

Once upon a time Ford Mondeo was Britain’s best-selling car, or at least thereabouts? Well, now it doesn’t even make it into the top ten. The BMW 3-Series outsells it. Ford would like to change that and revealed a new Mondeo, which it wants to kick up market in a bid to win back many of those company car users who’ve migrated up to a 3-Series or A4.

It’s a big car though almost too big for some of Europe’s smaller cities and Britain’s tight parking spaces. At more than 4.8m long, it’s as big as cars from the class above The new Mondeo will be much more efficient, though. Ford’s bringing the Ecoboost 1.0L engine, along with a hybrid, to the engine party, this time. Both of which are likely to give the Mondeo class-leading fuel economy and emissions figures. There’ll be a range of other petrols and diesels, along with the option of a dual-clutch auto transmission. Expect the Mondeo when it finally arrives to cost from a little under £20,000.
