Owner reviews

Great business class car for the money. High-torque, good suspension. I hope that the quality will not let you down. The light is cool - it especially helps at night on serpentines.

The design of the new Mondeo is aggressive, in my opinion, the appearance of the car is magnificent. Due to the "roll-out" of the space in the trunk, it became even more than the previous one. The soundproofing of the cabin has been improved compared to the fourth generation.

Video review

Who would not say anything, but the machine is a class. I have a “Trend +” package - there are enough options for everything. Very good Shumka, the suspension is a bit harsh, but very knocked down, swallows any holes as it should.

The 2.5-liter aspirated has quite decent dynamics, I really waited until the break-in was over and, although in fact, this car, due to its size, is conducive to a balanced ride, after all, I often kill myself at traffic lights, just to prove that he is driving . Good, comfortable machine, to be honest.

In terms of gasoline consumption, it turns out about 12 l / 100 km - 92 gasoline, at an average speed of 25 km / h, if only the city.

Shumka at a height - the wind is not heard at 120 km / h. Suspension, thanks to a new platform from Lincoln, provides movement on tram tracks, like air (on R16 rubber).

Trunk - honest half a cube, plus reclining backrests rear seats. Plus a huge opening 45 cm high, 1 meter wide - you can carry cabinets up to 180 cm long.

Convenient inclusion of sport mode, 149 hp quite enough, I especially like to do overtaking at 4 speeds, the engine pulls from the bottom like a diesel.

Automatic long thinking, moved from the mechanics and a little sorry, not enough drive) The plastic inside of course rattles — you can easily stick your finger between the glass and the ceiling trim.

AT regular disks there is a pressure sensor, so if you change the discs, an error will often pop up about a pressure control failure. You can constantly reset it (which infuriates), or reflash the BC (which is not cheap). And it is problematic to transfer pressure sensors from old disks to new ones, and tire fitters do not undertake this. At the same time, a new set of sensors costs about the same as flashing. So it goes…

Where can I buy?

First, about the positive aspects of the Ford Mondeo 5:

— Very good handling both on the track and on the difficult terrain of the road. Apparently thanks to the new "cart" and a decent wheelbase.

- The car accelerates well and makes quick operational maneuvers in urban environments.

- Good work of all functions active safety during high-speed driving, including braking dynamics.

- Suspension well handles small bumps in the roadway.

— Noise isolation of the car summer tires impressive. Definitely better than most of my classmates. On par with the Passat B8.

- Spacious interior, decent touchscreen, comfortable seats and the presence of a large number of technological "stray" in the configuration of the car.

— Excellent LED head optics! Perhaps one of the best in class among rivals.

- Surprisingly, the consumption of gasoline on the highway when driving from average speed 95 km / h turned out to be as close as possible to the manufacturer's passport data.

- For this class of car, there is sufficient ground clearance for driving in the icy rut of Moscow courtyards or somewhere in the "outback" on a dead road.

Now for what I didn't like:

— Poor ergonomics of the center console, a pile of small buttons for various purposes. Touchscreen slowness.

- The steering wheel is somewhat overloaded with buttons that regulate information content on-board computer. The on-board computer board itself could be made larger and centered on the display. And so everything is somehow small, like on FM4.

— Wide side racks. You often have to turn your head from side to side when turning.

- On the panels, the plastic is soft, but somewhat rough, not creating a "premium" in the car.

- There is not enough legroom for tall passengers on the back sofa.

Review of the Ford Mondeo 2.0 (199 hp) on the machine 2016 onwards

The new Mondeo has many advantages. First, the smoothness of the ride. It begins with the operation of a hydromechanical machine and starting off. Everything happens smoothly and imperceptibly - as it should in a car of this class. The box works great - no jerks or blunts. Switchings are practically not noticeable, and after a day or two they are not fixed by the brain at all.

Secondly, the naturally aspirated 149-horsepower 2.5 petrol engine is the base engine, which allows this car to go fast when it needs to (and go fast when it doesn't, strictly speaking, is dangerous). For the money that the Ambiente equipment costs, the 2.5-liter engine is optimal, without causing problems. In addition, such an engine is powered by 92nd gasoline on the recommendation of the manufacturer, which is a plus.

Thirdly, suspension and steering. The suspension is optimally tuned in terms of ride and handling. It handles irregularities with high quality, does not rattle, and does not allow the body to sway. No complaints.

Fourth, high-quality sound insulation. The noise level is very good for its class. Noises are extinguished to the extent that they cease to irritate or strain. The engine is very noisy. Even when it spins up to 6,000 rpm, it sounds quieter than in the same Polo at 3,000 rpm.

What can be noted from the shortcomings?

First, the build quality. After driving on a very rough road, plastic began to creak in some places. In addition, I did not immediately notice that the plastic panel that presses the interior trim on the front roof pillar does not do it tightly.

Secondly, the speedometer is small in diameter and requires getting used to. At first, I had to look twice, as if to be sure, whether I had exceeded the speed limit. But, again, the power of habit allows you to experience something else.

Thirdly, the ground clearance may be low. Sometimes I crawl with the front bumper on the curbs. There is unpainted plastic underneath and flexible mudguards, so it's not scary yet. But in the winter, perhaps, it will be necessary to be careful.

Review of Ford Mondeo 2.5 automatic 2016

The fourth generation of this model did not become revolutionary in terms of its development, which somewhat upset the fans of the brand. According to many, the “fourth” Mondeo has much in common with its predecessor and therefore seems not so interesting compared to other opponents. But Ford says that entering the market updated version the car is able to some extent to correct the situation for the better.

Reference

The restyled Ford Mondeo IV generation was shown to the public in 2017. New option popular car class D has not undergone significant reforms in terms of design, but has become more technologically advanced in terms of equipment. But first things first.

Outside, the updated Ford Mondeo differs from its predecessor in more elegant headlight optics, a different radiator grille with large cells, a front bumper with redesigned fog lamp sections and new oblong-shaped lamps, and a side-view mirror housing.

It should also be noted that wheel disks made of light alloy with a unique design, which were included in the equipment of the facelift model.

The creators also worked on the interior of the New Ford Mondeo. In particular, the quality of finishing materials has significantly increased and their color range has been expanded. But at first glance, the changes in the novelty of a relative pre-reform car are at a minimum. At the same time, upon careful visual analysis, the selector catches the eye automatic transmission, which is now made in the form of a rotating washer.

Such a solution has recently become extremely fashionable and is massively used on competing Ford Mondeo models. Another notable innovation is the replacement of the previous armrest with a different one, with a larger area of ​​contact with the elbow and a more spacious storage box.

As for equipment, now in each configuration updated Ford Mondeo is part of the next generation multimedia entertainment complex. We are talking about the Sync 3 system, the most important feature of which is the remote control of some on-board vehicle functions via a smartphone.

Also, through a smartphone, you can find out the status of some systems, which lovers of modern technology will really like.

List basic equipment models includes:

• Dual zone climate control.
• Electromechanical parking brake.
• Parktronics.
• Rear view camera.
• Automatic parking system (park assist).
• Cruise control.
• LED fog lights.
• Multifunction leather steering wheel.
• Servo drives, multi-level heating of the front seats.
• Stability system.
• Multimedia and entertainment system Sync 3 with 12 speakers, Bluetooth, support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• 12V socket for rear passengers.
• On-board computer.
• Satellite navigation system.
• Rain sensor.
• Light sensor.
• Keyless start system.

Currently Ford Mondeo 2017—2018 model year On the market Russian Federation not presented.

Official dealers of the brand see no point in bringing the updated model to the market and successfully sell its pre-reform version. In the event that the car appears on sale, its minimum price will be about 1 million 400 thousand rubles.

Specifications

Petrol power series The new Ford Mondeo consists of 1.5 and 2.0 liter supercharged engines. Their power varies between 160 and 240 horsepower. All power plants mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Turbodiesels are represented by 2.0 liter engines. They generate 150, 180 forces and are equipped with 6MKP or 6AKP.

Body dimensions:

The fourth generation Ford Mondeo is designed on the DC4 platform, which is the result of a deep modernization of the DC3 base. Ford engineers have carried out a serious optimization of the front suspension (McPherson) in order to improve handling, while the suspension rear axle(multi-link design) has been redesigned.

The share of high-strength steels in the power structure of the Mondeo body is 61 percent. The A-pillars, side pillars and roof frame are made of high strength hydroformed steel, while the floor luggage compartment made from magnesium alloy.

This made it possible to significantly increase the level passive safety new generation models relative to its predecessor. In addition, the car has become lighter by 115 kilograms.

Owner Review

The personal experience of the owner of this model allows you to look at it without embellishment and draw objective conclusions. In addition, owners often share useful information about the nuances of operation, which may be useful to potential buyers.

Prior to Mondeo, he owned a second-generation Focus with a 2.0-liter engine. The latter showed itself exclusively with positive side, but already obsolete morally and required replacement. Mindful of the successful experience with the Focus when buying a Mondeo did not think for a long time.

The car was purchased in a configuration with a two-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 199 forces.

At the moment, the mileage is 20 thousand kilometers. Naturally, nothing broke during this period. Therefore, you can only describe personal feelings from the car.

Positive sides:

• Excellent acceleration dynamics.
• A simple and understandable multimedia complex.
• Colorful dashboard.
• Spacious salon.
• Good handling.

Negative sides:

• Rigid suspension.
• Weak soundproofing.
• Low quality finishing materials.

To be honest, I expected a little more from the Mondeo in terms of comfort. However, in terms of driving properties, he did not disappoint, which is good news.

Test Drive

Appearance

The restyled Ford Mondeo has changed very little in appearance. Only connoisseurs will notice a slightly curved line of the lower contour of the headlights, new oblong fog lamps and a large-mesh radiator grille.

However, all these innovations, no doubt, benefited the car and made its appearance more harmonious, respectable. At the same time, a new rear diffuser and large tailpipes give the stern a taut look that sets the model apart from the crowd.

Salon

AT top versions the dashboard is trimmed with leather and has a neat stitching, but the basic versions are content with harsh plastic, which is not very pleasant to look at. To some extent, this is disappointing, given the Mondeo's class. But the excellent build quality can console: all parts have an even fit with minimal gaps.

The instrument panel with a combined display layout (digital and analog) looks avant-garde, very informative and easy to read. As for the center console, the round keys for controlling the audio system and air conditioner do not give it attractiveness, although they are very convenient, especially when used in the direction of travel.

The display of the multimedia entertainment complex serves as a source of information from the navigation system, rear view camera, and also allows you to view files in video format, but does not shine with detailed graphics.

The automatic transmission selector is made in the form of a rotating washer. This is a very stylish design solution that harmonizes well with the overall architecture of the interior. But not everyone will like to use the switch - it is easy to miss the desired transmission mode.

The driver's seat is no problem. It has an anatomically adjusted profile, dense lateral support. Speaking about the rear sofa, it is worth noting a significant supply of legroom, but even three passengers of average build will fit in the gallery with great difficulty.

Behind the wheel

The most optimal in terms of dynamics and efficiency is a 2.0-liter gasoline turbo engine that produces 199 Horse power. It has excellent traction in the zone of low, medium speeds, and even despite the not thoughtful "automatic" it is able to quickly complete protracted overtaking. As for fuel consumption, the average value for this discipline is 10.5 liters per 100 kilometers.

Stability in a straight line causes claims - the car scours in a rut, which makes it taxi. But the behavior of the Mondeo in the corners is beyond praise. It actively dives into turns and demonstrates a high grip limit on the arc, neutral understeer, which allows you to maintain significant speed on it.

At the same time, the suspension is not particularly comfortable. The car prefers not to notice minor road defects, but large potholes are given to the body with strong shocks. In addition, all this is accompanied by acoustic discomfort emanating from the operation of the shock absorber struts.

Conclusions: Ford Mondeo 2017-2018 model year causes a lot of controversy. It is far from ideal in terms of finishing materials and comfort. However, restyling did this car more harmonious, while retaining the gambling spirit in it.

Photos of the new Ford Mondeo 2018:

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.

Richly equipped interior

0 / 0

On the outside, the Mondeo has changed in 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.

Reading 5 min.

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. Steering wheel works perfectly due to the use of an electric amplifier.

Many test drives in which they tested 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, 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.
• 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-class 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 chic. 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 bit 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 with.

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.

Ford Mondeo (aka Ford Fusion) has been slightly changed in appearance and acquired additional technical features and smart technologies. The body structure has become more rigid. The front suspension is still MacPherson strut and the rear is a newly designed multi-link.

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 the redesigned bumper, the intricate shape of the foglights, the 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.

In interior design, new finishes are now available. A multimedia system appeared in the cabin latest generation, new gearshift lever, more user-friendly dashboard. They promise a new innovative driver's seat, which will have a large set of adjustments and will be very comfortable.

With what engines the updated model will get to Russia is still unknown, but there is information about engines for the North American market (see table). Absolutely all configurations can be equipped with a mechanical or automatic transmission gears. Hybrid cars will be equipped with modified variations. The developers have made it preinstalled front-wheel drive new models. However, more powerful vehicles can be equipped with all-wheel drive, with rear axle connection.

When updated Mondeo model will be sold in Russia - there is no information yet. Right now Russian consumers the fifth generation model is proposed, which appeared in Russia in 2015. The price of the updated model in the base trim in the US is about $22,500, and the top Platinum trim is about $39,500.

Ford Mondeo(Ford Mondeo) - front-wheel drive class D sedan, the premiere of the fifth generation took place at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012. The model's successor is built on a new global platform. In the US, the car is sold under the name Fusion. The European Mondeo will differ from the overseas twin in the chassis settings and the range of power plants.

The creators of the new Mondeo have relied on design. Signature grille a la Aston Martin, narrow LED headlights, dynamic silhouette, side mirrors on graceful legs - buyers should peck. Mondeo has grown a couple of centimeters in length to 4871 mm, however wheelbase has not changed - 2850 mm, although the car is based on the new Ford CD4 platform. It is used for the first time on a machine for the European market.

Front - McPherson struts with a modified geometry, and behind - a new multi-link: more compact and cheaper to manufacture. In the cabin, the new Mondeo will please you with high-quality materials. The dashboard has become fully digital, which displays various indications of the car. By the way, you can customize them to your liking. In the center console is the SYNC2 multimedia system, which was created by specialists from Microsoft Corporation. The touch screen displays not only entertainment information and navigation, but with the help of pressing its virtual buttons, you can control the climate control and seat heating, for example. Naturally, the system is compatible with smartphones.

The choice of powertrains is rich in European style. Gasoline engines are supercharged EcoBoost 1.0 (125 hp), 1.5 (160 hp) and 2.0 (203 or 240 hp), working with six-speed “mechanics” or traditional “automatic machines”. Three TDCi diesels are also expected. They will offer a choice of upgraded units 1.6 (115 hp) and 2.0 (150-180 hp), as well as a new biturbodiesel 2.0 (210 “horses”). True, in Russia so far only three will be available power units: two-liter Ecobust for 200 and 240 forces, as well as the old atmospheric engine 2.5 (150 hp) from the Kuga crossover.
