The 2020 Ford Mondeo, having appeared in Russia, immediately received a lot of accolades. I would like to note that in Europe the sedan appeared several years ago. Despite this, even today it looks great and can 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 quality

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 at the 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. Wheel works perfectly due to the use of an electric amplifier.

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

Large dimensions do not interfere with driving. It is easy to manage, you get used to the dimensions quickly, and therefore there are no problems to cope with the car both in corners and when parking. Due to the correct suspension settings, the rolls of the car 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 cheap materials and hard plastic are not used in the decoration. Dashboard very beautiful and well read, while not straining the eyes with an abundance of various indicators. As for equipment, it all depends on the type of equipment. The base version of the 2020 car clearly looks poor. However, if you choose good equipment, then 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.
  • Automatic parking system.
  • Seat heating, etc.

In general, if you are willing to pay, then you can assemble a good Ford Mondeo package for yourself. In fairness, it should be noted that today such a strategy is quite common, as it allows you to buy a mid-range sedan for little money. Many note the poor build quality, but we did not notice such sins.

I also want to say a few words about ergonomics. It allows you to drive and skip 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 capacity. The new Ford Mondeo in this year's performance has spacious salon, which can comfortably accommodate 5 people, including the driver. Naturally, a person sitting on the back sofa in the middle will feel a little uncomfortable, but there is enough space above your head and at your feet. Despite the sloping roof, the ceiling does not hang overhead and leaves little room for a comfortable fit.

Exterior


There is no need to study the appearance of FordMondeo for a long time in order to understand the main idea of ​​​​the developers. Their main goal was to make this version as similar as possible to a business class sedan. It's no secret that many modern cars almost identical, and competition is carried out by working on appearance cars.

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

Stylish grille, reminiscent of the image sports cars from Aston Martin, LED optics from Ford Evos - all this creates an aggressive and memorable look.

From the side, the new Ford Mondeo looks no less attractive, as elegant lines, stampings and massive wheel arches only emphasize the overall style of the car. The shape and silhouette of the roof looks a little like a dome, and the high line of windows clearly declares the sporty notes in the appearance of the car, which in general looks very expensive. At the rear of the car, LED headlights, a 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 dispersing the sedan to hundreds in 8.7 seconds.
  • 2 liter EcoBoost with 240 hp with., capable of dispersing 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, we can distinguish a system of assistance when starting downhill, car parking, etc.

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

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


Dimensions

Now dimensions new Ford Mondeo are 4850x1856x1500 millimeters. Wheelbase - 2850 millimeters. The clearance of the new model is 130 millimeters, which allows you 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 U-turn will not cause any difficulties for the driver.


capacity

The trunk volume of the new generation model is 493 liters. This indicator, of course, is inferior to the characteristics of modern roomy crossovers, but allows you to take with you on a trip the most necessary. The thoughtful interior of the cabin with a large number of useful compartments and devices 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 Ford models Mondeo 2018-2019 emphasize its swiftness. To achieve the best performance results, the manufacturer has equipped 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 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 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 top 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 country roads. The most economical is a 2-liter engine with an automatic 6-speed transmission and a maximum power of 140 hp, since its average fuel consumption 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.

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

On the outside, the Mondeo has changed in exactly the same way as the Fusion: a different headlight contour, rectangular foglights instead of round ones, new bumpers, and taillights now stitched with a chrome crossbar. 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 Jaguar cars or Land Rover, although Ford does not plunge into the bowels of the central tunnel when the ignition is turned off. The center tunnel has been redesigned for the puck, cup holders are now more conveniently located, and the armrest and box underneath have become larger.

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




0 / 0

In the Celestial Empire, Mondeo is still offered with a European range of powertrains: 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 with a two-liter aspirated (143 hp) and an electric motor (125 hp) has appeared on the local market.

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 scope of changes will be similar to the American and Chinese versions, although Russia will most likely retain the basic aspirated 2.5 (150 hp), and the likelihood of a hybrid modification in our country tends to zero. By the way, this fall, Mondeo of the St. Petersburg assembly was also slightly updated: a media system and an ERA-GLONASS complex appeared.

The following configurations are presented: S, SE, Titanium, Platinum, Sport, as well as hybrid and electric versions. Each version has some differences in body design. But in general, the front part has changed due to a redesigned bumper, intricately shaped foglights, and modified headlights with LED technology. At the rear, the main stylistic element is an accent in the form of a chrome horizontal strip, combining the updated taillights and the trunk lid into a single composition. The Sport version is distinguished by a more sculptural bumper, a different type of radiator grill, a spoiler on the trunk lid, and four exhaust pipes.
