Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 115PS ECOnetic 5dr
What is it?
FORD is adding to its low-emission ECOnetic range with a new engine. It’s a 2.0-litre with 115PS. So although it has a bigger engine there’s less power than the existing 125PS 1.8-litre ECOnetic model. Confused? There’s more. Both engines have the same CO2 figure. But, crucially, the newcomer has marginally better fuel consumption (54.3mpg plays 53.3mpg). And the addition of a sixth gear. Otherwise, the latest Ford Mondeo ECOnetic, available as a five-door hatch and estate, features Ford’s usual eco-tweakery that includes: lowered suspension, low rolling resistance tyres and optimised engine calibration. So what’s the deal with the new version?
What’s hot?
- Excellent fuel consumption for a large car…
- …we averaged 42mpg in mainly clogged up city driving
- Potential 800 mile range
- Big-hearted third gear provides useful in-gear flexibility
- But tall sixth gear means it’s a relaxed, comfortable cruiser
- Easy to use Bluetooth hands-free…
- …part of excellent premium sat nav system
- Interior fit and finish quality is good
- Excellent safety kit includes anti-skid ESP…
- …and Ford’s Quickclear heated windscreen for frosty mornings
- Hatchback practicality enhanced by fold down seats
- Company car tax of 18%…
What’s not?
- …but the tax rate rises by one band in 09/10 and again in 10/11
- The Mondeo remains a big car…
- …so it’s often a squeeze into parking bays
