| Ford Mondeo |
Aston Martin mask is already more recognizable for Ford, than the British luxury brand, and it is certainly a good thing, because the front of the Mondeo looks sporty and aggressive as it deserves a car of this class.Perhaps even more impressive is the exterior design, with small windows, which makes the car dynamic and act as if sculpted from a single piece, and the same goes for the rear of the car, perfectly completes the whole. Affected are details like LED lighting - front turn signal blinking along the entire length, from start to finish!
On the test we had the well-known 2.0 TDCI turbo diesel with 180 hp at relatively low 3,500 r / min and torque of 400 Nm available from 2000-2500 r / min. Great engine suits the character of the vehicle and provides high performance even at higher speeds and higher gears, but there is a small hole and a remarkable turbo. The figures show a hundred grand acceleration takes 8.3 seconds, while top speed is 223 km / h, which is probably enough for all but the most demanding, which has more powerful engines in the offer.
Mondeo has always been known for exceptional handling and agility, which reminded many sport cars. But to be realistic, a lot of Mondeo buyers, fun driving is not the most important, because it still is a car that needs to swallow a lot of miles and it should do the most comfortable as possible.
The new model has achieved just that. Comfort is significantly improved and now Mondeo is one of the most comfortable cars in the segment. As a higher segment car.
However, what always looking for this car is excellent balance between stability and comfort, and the Mondeo, it does best in class. Here can enjoy and passengers and the driver, without compromise. Perhaps like no other model in the segment. Bravo for Ford!
Softer and more comfortable suspension, always go with a fully refined ride. In this segment Mondeo is one of the best - the cabin is well insulated from external sounds and remains quiet even at higher speeds.
The space was not an issue in predecessor, but not bothered that there is added a few centimeters in the area of space for knees and shoulders. Until someone higher not sit back, where space is limited head over other competitors. Aside from that, the space back knee is the highest level, and the full width of the car and provides plenty of room for shoulders and generally comfortable driving with three passengers in the rear. Throughout the cabin has enough useful places for delay trinkets and even larger items.
Trunk has excellent 525 liters and can swallow a lot of luggage, although convenience is limited due sedan configuration. For those who want a more practical car, with more opening for loading in the rear and a larger trunk (550 liters), soon to arrive and the hatchback version (which we think looks better).
Even in the basic model Trend, Mondeo is equipped with full active and passive safety equipment, dual automatic climate control, full electrics, cruise control, audio system with eight speakers, chrome parts, etc. inside. Mondeo Titanium was equipped with an instrument panel with 10 inch color screen, 16 inch alloy wheels, chrome trim and interior sills, front sports seats with integrated heaters and LED headlamps with full LED lighting,and additional equipment had 18 inch wheels, premium audio system from Sony with special software from Microsoft and 8 inch touch screen, adaptive LED headlights, front and rear sensors and tinted rear windows.
