Ford Mondeo Hybrid Engine |
Though the Ford Mondeo is a family hatchback car of fine and
delicate style, but throughout of its career it has been a winning champion in
rugged and tough surfaces also. It is a common site on UK roads due to its
practicality. There are a number of competent contestants of the Ford Mondeo
such as the Volkswagen Passat, Mazda 6Saloon, Hyundai i40, Kia Optima, Toyota
Avensis, the BMW 3 series, Volvo S60 and the Jaguar XE.
There is a good choice of engines that makes the Mondeo economical to live with and gives a comfortable ride with efficiency
There are three diesels, three petrols and a hybrid version. As
far as Performance is concerned, all of them are good enough to puzzle the
audience in their selection. All of these units are smooth to drive with power
and torque and keen in fuel efficiency.
The Mondeo starts its petrol powertrain with 1.0litre turbocharged
three-cylinder engine. Such a tiny unit for such a big car like Mondeo, it
feels quite underpowered. It is just 123bhp unit. It takes 12.0 seconds to get
from0-62m/h. The fuel economy is good of 55m/g and emits just 119g/km of Co2.
After that the Ford has introduced 158bhp 1.5-litre Eco Boost petrol engine. It
is considered as the best option in the Ford Mondeo. It is speedy with good
amount of torque. The sound is really good when cruising. It is the efficient
unit and gives 46m/g of fuel average. It is capable to get this large hatchback
from0-62m/h in 9.1 seconds. At the top in petrol engines range there is 240bhp 2.0litre
Ford Mondeo EcoBoost petrol unit.
The diesel engines range starts with118bhp 1.5-litre TDCI unit.
Fuel economy wise it is a super-efficient engine. Its fuel economy of 71m/g
shows it sensibility in fuel consumption. Its Co2 emissions are very low that
means no road tax. Step up to the larger diesel unit with option 148bhp, 177bhp
and 207bhp 2.0-litre TDCI. With 207bhp it can get from 0-62m/h in 7.9 seconds.
It produces good amount of torque that is helpful in cruising and overtaking.
It is quite efficient version with 54.3m/g of fuel average and 127g/km
emissions of Co2. This unit with 148bhp version is also healthier one it takes
8.3 seconds to get from 0-62m/h with a good fuel average of 64m/g and 115g/km
emissions of Co2. This figure is slightly better than the 177bhp version which
gives 59m/g of fuel average and 125g/km emissions of Co2.
Though the 2.0litre petrol-electric hybrid
version of Mondeo
gives good fuel average of 68m/g and Co2 emissions of 97g/km, but it hasn’t
been a good saleable commodity of Mondeo range.
