Ford Mondeo: Features explained

Ford Mondeo: Features explained

To help Ford Malaysia maintain its empire in the country, the Mondeo was launched a few years ago. Ford has been making the Mondeo since 1992. After eyeing its requirement here in Malaysia, Ford brought it directly from its Valencia plant. Of course, there have been a few necessary changes done to make sure the Ford Mondeo suits the Malaysian market needs.

Ford Mondeo exterior

Just like any other segment in the country, the mid-size sedan segment is also facing some fierce competition. Ford Mondeo has been fighting this battle for years now, and today it is bringing some good sales numbers back home. There must be some interesting features about Mondeo that has led it to a place where it stands today. In this story, we are going to go through some of those features.

Engine and transmission

There is only a single variant of the Ford Mondeo available in our country. Powering this model is a 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine which has got a turbocharger and direct fuel injection along with twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). Ford has done impressive work to make this 4-cylinder engine smaller and lighter even with a larger displacement.

This engine is tuned to produce 240 PS of max power at 5300 revs and the peak torque of 345 Nm is generated at 2300 to 4900 revs. All of this is controlled by a slick 6-speed automatic gearbox that comes with Ford’s SelectShift technology. In short, it means that switching between gears here would be effortless. Ford has also tuned the gearbox as per the engine so that there is no downfall in its performance irrespective of the driving conditions.

Impressive design

There is no doubt that the Ford Mondeo is a beauty. We have no idea how the design engineers at Ford narrowed down to this beautiful work of art. It is simply gorgeous. Go around the Mondeo, and you’d admire the attention to detail on this machine. Of course, it is the front that is the most attractive thanks to its large adaptive LED headlamps and encompassing front grille. But we have to admit that its side profile is no less appealing. The low height and elongated length make the Mondeo look super classy and elegant from the side. And when you take the splendid 17-inch alloy wheels into the picture, you’d find a hint of sportiness as well.

The rear portion of the Ford Mondeo is something which we think could have been finished better. We are not complaining in any way but comparing it with the rest of the car we feel that way. Anyway, overall, the Mondeo is one of the best looking mid-size sedans that one can buy right now in Malaysia.

Elegant interior

Unlike other Ford cars in Malaysia, the Mondeo has an exquisite interior. Things remain black, but the touch of silver accents here and there helps to maintain the thin line between sportiness and elegance. We really like the instrument cluster here. Also, the centre console is neatly organized with the AC vents being at the top and various control buttons and switches for dual zone climate control at the bottom. Sandwiched in between is the 8-inch LCD touchscreen infotainment system that supports MP3, Bluetooth, USB, AUX, and Ford’s SYNC 2 technology for recognising certain voice commands.

Safety features

Ford Mondeo safety

We are glad to report that the Ford Mondeo specs sheet has got a long list of safety features. The Mondeo has electronic stability control, lane keep assist, keyless entry, Ford’s MyKey, ABS with EBD and brake assist, capless fuel filler, hill launch assist, dual front airbags along with side, curtain, and knee airbags, adaptive cruise control and much more. All of them together makes the Mondeo flaunt its 5-star NCAP safety rating.

There may be only a single variant of the Mondeo in our country, but it comes in 4 color options - Frozen White, Panther Black, Ruby Red, and Tectonic Silver. As far as the Ford Mondeo price is concerned, it is going to set you back by RM189,086 and in that sum of money, you are getting a complete package.
