2010 Mondeo Titanium 2.0L TDCi – approximately 37 mpgUS combined on the 08 EPA?
Ford is introducing a new high series addition to its Mondeo line-up with an ECOnetic variant – the Mondeo Titanium 2.0 113 HP TDCi.
Targeting company car users increasingly conscious of company car tax costs while not compromising vehicle size and comfort, the model is offered in five-door hatchback or sedan. Both deliver a combined fuel economy of figure of 45.2 mpgUS.
The Mondeo Titanium 2.0 113 HP TDCi is priced from $38,575 USD for the five-door and $40,645 USD for the sedan - just above the equivalent Titanium 2.0 140PS TDCi series. With Vehicle Excise Duty falling in band E, costing $200 USD per year, and combined with improved fuel economy, this delivers competitive cost of ownership maximizing the appeal to fleets and user-chooser customers according to Ford.
Not quite the splash the European Fiesta and Focus ECOnetics offer unfortunately :(
While benefitting from Ford ECOnetic HW, this new model is otherwise identical to the standard Titanium series. The following features are added to help reduce emissions and improve fuel economy:
16in Y-Spoke lightweight alloy wheels (standard)
Optimum gear change indicator
Aerodynamically optimized sports suspension and air deflectors
Rear spoiler (five-door only)
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
