Ford has confirmed pricing for the all-new Mondeo hatch and wagon.

With a recommended price range spanning $32,790² to $49,340², the technology rich all-new Mondeo range will arrive in dealerships in May and will be available in Ambiente, Trend and high-series Titanium models. 

From a recommended $32,790² for the Ambiente 2.0 EcoBoost, the Mondeo is packed with standard features; among them, 16-inch alloys, SYNC2™ with 8’’ high-resolution touch screen, Daytime Running Lights, LED tail lamps, fog lamps, heated exterior mirrors, front and rear parking sensors, satellite navigation, dual zone climate control, paddle shifters, 60 / 40 split rear seats and DAB radio. 

The Mondeo will also be the first Ford in Australia to feature nine airbags, including the company’s world-first new Inflatable Rear Seatbelts, which are standard across the Mondeo range. The Inflatable Rear Seatbelts are a first in the mid-size segment for a vehicle under $50,000.

The all-new 2015 Mondeo will also offer 10 advanced technologies that are not available on the Toyota Camry, among them Emergency Assistance, Adaptive Cruise Control, adaptive LED headlamps and a Wi-Fi hotspot, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and MyKey®. The all-new 2015 Mondeo hatch will be available with a TDCi diesel engine that is more fuel efficient than the Camry Hybrid^ sedan, delivering a combined fuel figure of 5.1 L/100km¹ versus the Camry Hybrid’s 5.2 L/100km¹.

The Mondeo will offer a full active and passive safety suite that includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-Lock Braking (ABS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Traction Control System (TCS) and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA).

Dynamically, the Mondeo debuts a new integral link rear suspension, stiffer chassis, Electric Power Assisted Steering and new brakes that deliver refined driving dynamics and improved stopping distances.

As well as the technology and dynamic upgrades, the Mondeo features superior refinement with road noise reduced by 3 decibels, 8 per cent less wind noise, and sophisticated design supported by enhanced quality and craftsmanship.

For Australia, customers will have the choice of three engine technology variants.

The Mondeo Ambiente is equipped with a 149kW / 345 Nm EcoBoost engine or optional 132 kW / 400 Nm TDCi diesel³. Trend and Titanium models will offer a high-output 177 kW version of the EcoBoost engine or choice of frugal 2.0-litre TDCi diesel that delivers 132kW³.

All petrol variants will be offered standard with Ford’s latest-generation SelectShift six-speed transmission, while the TDCi models gain Ford’s PowerShift six-speed transmission.

The Mondeo with the high-output 177 kW EcoBoost engine is 30 per cent more powerful than the 135 kW 2.5-litre petrol Toyota Camry engine.

EcoBoost technology continues as a cornerstone of Ford’s product onslaught in 2015, starting with Mondeo. EcoBoost engine technology is available in the Fiesta, Focus and Falcon passenger cars, EcoSport and Ford Kuga SUV. It is core to Ford’s commitment to improve fuel efficiency across its range.
