“Ford Mondeo review: looks a bit like the old one but brings solid gains in comfort and tech. Back at the competitive sharp end.”
Good stuff
Clear improvements over the old one, now almost a match for premium rivals
Bad stuff
Not quite as much fun on a twisting back road, still lacks the premium badge
Overview
What is it?
The Ford Mondeo is pretty much an all-new car, designed to do pretty much exactly what the very familiar old one did. It’s a big family hatch and estate. Because the market has diversified, it’s joined at the top of Ford’s range by a big crossover-SUV called the Edge, and of course the S-Max and Galaxy, all based on the same platform.
We get 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 turbo petrols, an economy-biased 1.6 diesel and a 2.0 diesel in three outputs - we tested the middle 180bhp version of the Ford Mondeo. There’s also a hybrid petrol – big in the US, and actually built in the US (the others come from Spain), but of minority interest here.

What's the verdict?
“We've had to wait for it, but the new Mondeo has been well worth it. ”
