Ford mondeo specifications. What will the updated Ford Mondeo be like? Suspension and ride performance

The years underline the stylish and dynamic look of the comfortable sedan. The manufacturer made a number of changes to the new generation of cars, which were reflected in the improvement of its performance.


Overall dimensions

Now dimensions new Ford Mondeo are 4850x1856x1500 millimeters. The wheelbase is 2850 millimeters. The ground clearance of the new model is 130 millimeters, which allows it to overcome significant obstacles. At the same time, a small turning radius (only 11.6 meters) makes the car compact and maneuverable when driving in narrow city streets. Parking or making a U-turn will not present any difficulties to the driver.


Spaciousness

The boot volume of the new generation model is 493 liters. This figure, of course, is inferior to the characteristics of modern roomy crossovers, but it allows you to take the essentials with you on a trip. A well-thought-out interior with a large number of useful compartments and fixtures makes it possible to place small items. And the function of transforming the seats will allow you to comfortably transport bulky items. The total curb weight of the car, depending on the configuration, ranges from 2050 to 2230 kilograms.


Motor overview

Dynamic specifications 2019-2020 Ford Mondeo models emphasize its speed. To achieve the best operational results, the manufacturer supplied the car with a wide range of engines: from a 4-cylinder injector with a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 120 horse power up to a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with a volume of 2.0 liters and a maximum power of 240 horsepower.

This diversity is reflected in the speed performance of the model. For example, a complete set with a 2-liter engine and a 6-speed gearbox develops maximum speed up to 232 kilometers per hour and accelerates to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in just 7.9 seconds. With such amazing qualities and high power the car is characterized by reduced fuel consumption, which makes it suitable for driving both in the city and on suburban highways. The most economical is a 2-liter engine with an automatic 6-speed transmission and a maximum power of 140 hp, since average consumption its fuel does not exceed 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers. The maximum fuel consumption of the new generation Mondeo is 14 liters per 100 km when driving in urban conditions.

If you are a person of middle age and prosperity, then definitely paid attention to the Ford Mondeo car as an object of desire. In such a car, you can take potatoes and jerk briskly from a traffic light.

The 2017 model, which fell under the surgeon's knife, features a new grille with different textures (depending on the configuration), formidable LED headlights and a new bumper with powerful cheekbones. The conservative profile sports new rims and a couple of aerodynamic curves. The rear of the Mondeo sedan received an updated bumper with two tailpipes exhaust system, a small spoiler on the trunk lid, and a decorative chrome insert that "cuts" the headlights in half.

Interior Ford Mondeo 2017

The restyling of the Ford Mondeo looks pretty familiar. Imposing leather seats with weak lateral support, digital display on-board computer and touch display the latest system SYNC 3 multimedia. The latter will provide loud music and make you feel young. The most significant change was the appearance of the Jaguar joystick, instead of the usual gearshift lever, which freed up space on the central torpedo. It works without the problems that were encountered in the first generation Jaguar XF.

Ford Mondeo 2017 specs and price

A 2.0-liter turbo engine, one of the best in the range, will take care of passenger transportation. With 249 hp. power and 373 Nm of torque (which is more than new Audi A5), Ford Mondeo will be able to provide decent dynamics and 11.2-liter fuel consumption in the urban cycle for every hundred. The engine works uncompromisingly with the 6-speed automatic transmission.

If you want this particular model, and even shake off the old days, then it is worth waiting for the launch of the rocket ship - Mondeo Sport, which comes with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6, 330 horsepower and an all-wheel drive system. With such a power reserve, the model will leave far behind its competitors: Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. For those concerned about the environment, Ford will offer a hybrid version of the Mondeo Hybrid.

The cost of the updated Ford Mondeo 2017 in Russia has not yet been announced. But the Americans can already order new sedan at a price of $ 24,000.

In America, Mondeo is sold under the name Ford fusion, and it entered the local market four years ago, two years ahead of the European version. Therefore, it was born last winter. And now the updated Mondeo has arrived: the first market for it has become China, where these cars are produced at the Changan Ford joint venture.

Outside, Mondeo has changed in the same way as the Fusion: a different contour of headlights, rectangular fog lights instead of round ones, new bumpers, and taillights now stitched with a chrome cross member. In the vein of the American twin, the salon has also changed. The first thing that catches your eye: instead of the traditional "automatic" lever, a rotating washer appeared, like in Jaguar cars or Land rover, although it does not sink into the bowels of the central tunnel when the ignition is turned off. The central tunnel has been rearranged for the washer, the cup holders are now more convenient, and the armrest and box underneath have become larger.

Another novelty is the third version of the instrument cluster, which from the very beginning was offered for American Fusion, and now it is expensive options Mondeo. The speedometer is located in the center, on the sides there are two color screens, on one of which you can display a small funny tachometer. However, the existing tidy with the same size speedometer and tachometer remained in service. An interesting feature of the Chinese Mondeo is the audio control panel in the folding armrest in the back row.

In the Celestial Empire, Mondeo is still offered with a European range of power units: these are turbo-fours with a volume of 1.5 (180 hp) and 2.0 liters (200 or 240 hp). But now a hybrid version has appeared on the local market with a two-liter aspirated (143 hp) and an electric motor (125 hp).

European sales of the updated Mondeo should begin next year, and the cars will reach us with the usual delay, that is, at best by the end of the year. Most likely, the volume of changes will be similar to the American and Chinese versions, although the base aspirated 2.5 (150 hp) will most likely remain in Russia, and the likelihood of a hybrid modification in our country tends to zero. By the way, this fall, the Mondeo assembled in St. Petersburg was also slightly updated: a media system and an ERA-GLONASS complex appeared.

A huge hexagonal radiator grill with wide chrome crossbars looks no less presentable. Outwardly, it resembles a huge mouth of a fish. The new optics is represented by narrow LED headlights, looking at a diagonal. Due to this, the car "looks" arrogantly, with a challenge.

Extra masculinity for Ford Mondeo 2020 2021 model year gives front bumper... Its sculptural silhouette is adorned with neat trapezoidal duct cutouts and round fog lights... I was very pleased with the large area windshieldas well as narrow A-pillars. Finally, there will be no problems with visibility.

The car's profile is dynamic, impetuous, modern. The newcomer has acquired a domed roof with a steep roll, large heated side mirrors, LED turn signals. Clear stampings at the top and bottom of the doors look graceful. Lateral visibility is now better as the sill line is slightly lowered and runs smoothly.

The new 2020 Ford Mondeo stern can be seen in the photo. It is proportional, harmonious. The rear lights with LED inserts look impressive. In the new version, most of them go to the sidewalls. Rear glass heavily heaped forward, due to which its area has become much larger.

The shortened trunk with a massive lid and a wide opening has become a great addition. But the new rear bumper I especially liked. Its main element is a narrow slot at the bottom, along the edges of which small brake lights are installed.

Initially, the sedan was announced as a representative of the D class. However, the new dimensions of the updated 2021 Ford Mondeo suggest otherwise. They can be easily attributed to class E. Judge for yourself, the length of the car was 4871 mm, width is 1852 mm, height is 1482 mm. The ground clearance is 145 mm for Russia. For Europe this figure is 128 mm.

The interior of the sedan

Stylish, modern interior does not cause particularly vivid emotions. The dashboard is characterized by informativeness, attractive design, high functionality. The control devices are arranged in the usual way. The chrome bezel that surrounds the dials and the 5-inch touchscreen of the on-board computer looks very elegant.

The new three-spoke steering wheel looks elegant. For a beginner, it was made multifunctional, with a large number of buttons, beautiful aluminum overlays. The center console is modest but interesting. The sporty look is given by the wide, glossy, full-height overlay.


There are two horizontal deflectors on the top. Below them is a 7-inch display of the latest navigation system... The audio control panel is not entirely familiar. In its center there is a large washer of the regulator, and along the edges there are a scattering of control buttons for the climate unit. The driver will have to get used to such a neighborhood so as not to get confused when switching the desired function.

According to the majority of owners updated version, salon Ford Mondeo 2020 2021 received many additional compartments, stands, shelves, pockets for storing small things. There are also many decorative elements made of aluminum in the interior design.

A wide transmission tunnel is installed between the front, well-profiled seats, as well as a soft folding armrest. Solid, high-quality materials, plastic, pleasant to the touch, were used for decoration. The interior is assembled at a premium level. No cracks, inconsistencies.

The subject of pride can be safely called the front seats, which have high lateral support, dense filling, a wide range of adjustments in different directions. In addition, they are equipped with ventilation, heating, electrical memory settings.

But the back sofa will only accept two passengers. The third will clearly be cramped and uncomfortable. The amount of free legroom is sufficient, but it is not enough above the head. The reason is the domed roof. Luggage compartment sedan is designed for 429 liters.


The equipment of the simplest version includes:

  • seven airbags;
  • system of exchange rate stability, ABS, assistance at the start;
  • air conditioning;
  • power windows;
  • on-board computer;
  • navigation system, emergency braking;
  • rear parking sensors.

Specifications

The power line so far consists of only two options for gasoline engines. Diesel engine will be available only for residents of European countries. but gasoline engines provide Ford Mondeo 2020 2021 with quite decent technical characteristics.

Engine Power Overclocking Consumption Max. speed
2,5 149 10,3 8,2 204
2,0 199 8,7 8,0 218
2,0 240 7,9 8,0 233

A 6-band "automatic" is offered as transmissions. The dynamic data of the newbie is at a fairly high level. Maneuverability, handling, which is simple, lightweight, did not disappoint. Frustrating economy. Plus, in addition, the acceleration and fuel consumption parameters declared by the manufacturer differ markedly from the real ones. You can learn more about this from the video of the test drive of the latest generation Ford Mondeo sedan 2020 2021.

However, such a disadvantage fully compensates for the modern equipment of the car with security systems. Thereby new model became much safer, more reliable, more enduring. She has proven herself perfectly not only in urban environments, but also on long trips.

What trim levels and prices will the updated 2020 Ford Mondeo sedan please us with? There will be four versions in total: Trend, Ambiente, Titanium, Titanium Plus. For the basic version, you will have to pay at least 1,200,000 rubles. Medium configurations will cost 1,350,000 - 1,600,000 rubles. You can count on options like this:

  • on-board computer;

  • keyless access to the salon;
  • remote engine start with a button.

The price of a fully equipped Ford Mondeo 2020 2021 will be at least 1,800,000 rubles.

Sedan competitors

From competitors to the updated sedan Ford The 2021 Mondeo will have to fight back. There are many of them, but fortunately for a beginner, not all of their bottoms can adequately compete with him. For example, take the Volkswagen Passat and Kia Optima.

The main advantage of Volkswagen is the perfect suspension, which is great for our roads. There are no problems at all with handling, dynamism, noise insulation. They are at a fairly high level. The ergonomics of the cabin are carefully thought out, and the quality of materials is excellent.

The visibility of the car raises no objections. The equipment of the basic version is one of the best. The car's arsenal includes many safety features, a reliable, efficient braking system.

But the engines are very sensitive to the quality of fuel and oil. The harsh Russian winters are clearly not for such engines. In severe frost, do not even try to start the engine the first time, it simply will not work. Also in winter time many Passat owners note problems with the stove, which is why the interior warms up very slowly.


Unlike the new body, the updated ford versions Mondeo 2020 2021, Volkswagen's body is prone to corrosion. A serious drawback is the tendency of the car to leave the trajectory, to roll.

Kia Optima is a car with a bright, charismatic appearance, spacious interior, informative dashboard. Just like Ford's salon Kia there is a large number of shelves, compartments, cup holders, niches. An added benefit is the spacious trunk, decent ground clearance, which is less than the "Ford" by only 5 mm.

The car has good acceleration dynamics, maneuverability, handling. In its equipment, it has an unpretentious, hardy engine, reliable transmission.

Kia soundproofing has a low level, paintwork, which begins to fly off literally after the first two or three washes. Finishing materials are frankly cheap and impractical.

The plastic is very hard, almost oak, over time it begins to creak and burst. The main drawbacks are too stiff suspension, high fuel consumption, tight steering wheel, which emergency situations not easy to manage.

Advantages and disadvantages of a car

The start of sales of the new version of the Ford Mondeo sedan 2020 2021 in the salons of Russia should be expected in early 2020.

The main advantages of the car are:

  • beautiful, interesting, strict body design;
  • comfortable, spacious interior;
  • good quality materials, plastic;
  • high ground clearance;
  • informative steering wheel;
  • excellent handling, dynamism;
  • decent visibility.

Reading 5 min.

The 2020 Ford Mondeo, having appeared in Russia, immediately received many accolades. It should be noted that the sedan appeared in Europe several years ago. Despite this, even today it looks great and may well compete with the best representatives class. In our article we will talk about what its main advantages and disadvantages are, and also try to find out what the owners value it for.

Suspension and ride performance

New ford The fifth generation Mondeo was built on the basis of the SD 4 platform. There is nothing special in the suspension design: there is a multi-link at the back, MacPherson struts are used in front. The design of disc brakes is also simple: one piston and a floating caliper. However, given this suspension specification and brake system, they turned out to be very reliable and fully cope with their tasks. Steering wheel works perfectly through the use of an electric amplifier.

Many test drives in which they tested new Ford Mondeo, have confirmed its reliability and comfort. Moreover, experts note that the chassis tuning is one of the best in the class. Note, this is all about a front wheel drive car.

Large dimensions do not interfere with driving. It is easy to operate, you get used to the dimensions quickly, and therefore there are no problems to cope with the car both in turns and when parking. At the expense of correct setting suspensions, vehicle rolls are minimal and even on a bad road, the driver and passengers feel very comfortable.

Interior


The interior of the Ford Mondeo 5 is made with high quality, and the decoration does not use cheap materials and hard plastic. Dashboard very beautiful and readable, while not straining the eyes with an abundance of various indicators. As for the equipment, it all depends on the type of equipment. The base version of the 2020 car clearly looks poor. But at the same time, if you choose a good configuration, then the new Ford Mondeo will have all the necessary systems and equipment to ensure maximum comfort and safety. Among these options are:

  • Large screen with navigation.
  • Multimedia system.
  • System automatic parking.
  • Heated seats, etc.

In general, if you are willing to pay, then you can collect yourself a good complete set of Ford Mondeo. In fairness, it should be noted that today such a strategy is quite common, since it allows you to buy a middle-class sedan for little money. Many people note the poor build quality, but we did not notice such sins.

I would also like to say a few words about ergonomics. It allows you to get behind the wheel and skips the adaptation stage - any element is in its place and it is intuitively clear how to turn on this or that device.

There are no questions about roominess. The new Ford Mondeo this year has a spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate 5 people, including the driver. Naturally, the person sitting on the middle back couch will feel a little uncomfortable, but there is enough space above the head and in the legs. Despite the sloping roof, the ceiling does not hang over your heads and leaves little room for a comfortable fit.

Exterior


There is no need to study the exterior of Ford Mondeo for a long time to understand the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe developers. Their main goal was to make this version as similar as possible to the business class sedan. It's no secret that many modern cars almost the same, and competition is carried out through work on appearance cars.

The engineers and designers coped with this task 100%, and the new Ford Mondeo looks gorgeous in the stream. Of course, there can be no talk of superiority over the industry leaders BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, but the exterior of the car is clearly successful.

Stylish radiator grille, reminiscent of the image sports cars from AstonMartin, LED optics from FordEvos - all this creates an aggressive and memorable look.

From the side, the new Ford Mondeo looks no less attractive, as the elegant lines, stampings and massive wheel arches only emphasize the overall style of the car. The shape and silhouette of the roof is a bit like a dome, and the high glass line clearly declares a sporty note in the exterior of the car, which looks very expensive in general. The rear of the vehicle is harmoniously combined lED headlights, powerful bumper and aggressive exhaust pipes... For the appearance of the Ford Mondeo - 5 out of 5!

Power units and equipment

As you already know, in our country, Ford Mondeo will be offered exclusively with gasoline engines and 6-speed gearboxes. The following motors are available to choose from:

  • 2-liter EcoBoost with 203 hp with., capable of accelerating the sedan to hundreds in 8.7 seconds.
  • 2-liter EcoBoost with 240 hp with., capable of accelerating the sedan to hundreds in 7.9 seconds.
  • 2.5 liter with 150 hp from.

This year's version is equipped with all the necessary systems, including ESP, ABS, EBD, BAS and more. Among the popular and useful options, one can single out the help system when starting down a hill, parking, etc.

So, to sum up, we can say that Ford Mondeo is really good car for their money. Its appearance clearly does not correspond to the price, and the level of comfort can be compared with a car of a higher class.
