Ford Mondeo prices dropped and range revised

Ford has simplified its ageing Mondeo range in an attempt to boost its appeal and make it a more attractive proposition to private and company car buyers alike.

The range of updates include the debut of a new entry-level Graphite and a top-spec Titanium X Business Edition model – both of which get impressive standard equipment in a high-value package.

The Graphite Special Edition gets 17-inch alloy wheels, LED daytime running lights and body-coloured trim, as well as a subtle rear spoiler and heated door mirrors. All cars come with Bluetooth, MP3 connectivity, air-conditioning and a quick-clear windscreen. Prices start at just £15,995 for the Mondeo Graphite with a 118bhp, 1.6-litre petrol engine.

Titanium X Business Editions get even more equipment, such as tinted rear windows, parking sensors all round and chrome trim. On the inside, it adds leather seats, touchscreen sat-nav and a DAB radio. Dual-zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror are also included. The Titanium X Business range starts at £21,995 for the 158bhp 1.6-litre EcoBoost model.

In addition to the new models and reduced prices, Ford has revealed updates for its 2.0-litre TDCi engine in an effort to improve economy and emissions. Both the 138bhp and 161bhp diesel engines now emit just 119g/km of CO2 – or 120g/km for the Mondeo Estate.
