Ford reveals new Mondeo pricing
A bit more kit for very similar money

They start at £14,995 on the road for the Edge 1.6-litre 109bhp five-door and rise to £24,195 for the 2.5T 217bhp Titanium X estate. On average the new Mondeo is priced £300 below the outgoing equivalent models, according to Ford.
The 2007 car's also loaded with £700-worth of added equipment across the range including:
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
- Thatcham Category 1 Alarm
- ISOFIX child-seat fixings
- Steering wheel controls for the key technologies
- Driver's knee airbag
- 'Follow me home' lighting
- Easyfuel -- Ford's new mis-fuelling prevention system
The Edge replaces the LX series and in addition to the new standard equipment, the Edge also gets:
- Air-conditioning
- Cruise control
- Leather steering wheel
- CD stereo with MP3 connection socket seven air-bags
- ABS with Electronic Brake Assist (EBA)
- Power front windows
- Remote central locking
- Quick clear heated front windscreen
- Power and heated door mirrors.
Zetec prices range from £16,695 for the 1.6-litre 123bhp saloon and hatchback to £20,745 for the 2.0-litre TDCi 128bhp estate. Over the Edge's specification the Zetec adds 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, air conditioning with dual EATC, leather gear knob and power rear windows with global window open/close. The most popular derivative is expected to be a Zetec five-door 140PS TDCi diesel which will be priced at £18,395.
Ghia prices range from £18,445 for the 2.0-litre 145PS saloon to £22,195 for the 2.5 220PS estate. The Ghia is a statement of classic luxury with a host of features over the Zetec including 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights and rain-sensing wipers, power fold door mirrors, a Sony stereo with six CD in-dash auto-changer and 'submarine' lighting.
At the top of the range the Titanium X series emphasises technology with a contemporary interior including full Alcantara/leather trim. The Titanium X also offers "Ford Power" start button, adaptive front lighting with cornering lights, blue tinted glass and the new Ford "Convers+" premium instrument cluster with a 256 colour display - Ford's signature HMI technology. Prices for the Titanium X range from £21,245 for the 1.8-litre TDCi 125PS five-door to £24,195 for the 2.5 220PS estate.
The option list is also extensive, allowing complete personalisation of the car. Key options include full screen satellite navigation, tyre pressure monitoring system, sport suspension, integral rear child seats, and a sliding load-floor on the estate with a maximum load capacity of 200kg, front and rear parking sensors and rear seat DVD entertainment with integrated head-rest screens.
One further option is hands-free phoning over Bluetooth. This system also allows drivers to change the temperature control and audio settings via voice commands, and this option is available for only £150.
The all-new Mondeo is available to order from March, three months ahead of its launch date.

Why has the same engine got less power in the Mundano, than it does in the Focus? (2.5T) It's a bigger car and could surely benefit from the little extra????
220ps in the Mond - 225 in the Focus.

Is it not the 2.5T with the same map as the C30? IIRC that has 220ps?
Correct me if im wrong... which I probably am

what an inspired comment - have you driven one? If it's anything like the outgoing model it will be a well built car with decent handling and a good choice of engines, more than a match for similarly priced competititors (vectra, primera etc.) and thats from experience. Yes they are on the pricey side new, but wait 6mths to a year and buy a top of the range model for nearly 1/2 price and you've got yourself a well specced car that can seat 5 in comfort, huge carrying capability, that won't cost a fortune to run or service.
I'd have another and if the missus ever lets me get the TVR I've been hankering about
I'd buy one in a sec as a daily hack. yellowbentines said:

Agree with that. It's just badge snobbery. If the same car had a BMW badge it would be "cool". Skoda suffer the same problem. Pathetic really.
Ok, I can actually speak from experience of the out-going shape.
We had a 2005 Mondeo ST 2.2 TDCi. We bought it at 9 months old with only 6500 miles on the clock. The car came with the original invoice which was for £24,200.00. I paid...wait for it...£15,000.00.
So that's a top-of-the-range ST with leather and 6-disc and yadda-yadda, for nine grand less than list and it was not even a year old!
Plus - it was a brilliant car. 150ps engine which gave just under 300lb/ft of torque on over-boost (foot flat down), which mean that in 4th gear (out of 6) it would surge past most other things on the road. It handled brilliantly and was comfortable and swallowed loads of dead bodies - even in saloon form! It looked great with the standard ST styling and 18" multi-spokes and best of all, returned at worst 43mpg!
All I am saying is that you should not write off the Mondeo simply because Ford have watered down their own brilliant styling. They did it with the Focus (Mk2 is a boring slug compared to the impact that the Mk1 had at the time) and they have over-promised and under-delivered with the styling of the new Mondeo...but still, it is sure to be a great car for those with a couple of kids and no badge-snobbery.
Why did we change the ST? To buy a 4x4 because the missus wanted one. In the end, she chose a new Golf! Women!

There's no 2.5 V6 in the new Mondy. The 2.5 is the 5 Cyl as in the Focus, but with different characteristics.

The Mondeo is better (model for model) than a BMW 3 series in every way. For less money.
The problem here is that most people know so very little about cars.
The outgoing Mondeo is supposed to be a very good car to drive.
I have been in several of them and i was shocked how cheap it felt after 40,000 miles. The interior of all 4 of them rattled quite badly. The plastics felt quite worn (they feel terrible when new, compared to the equivalent VW). The suspensions had developed squeaks in 2 of the 4 cars.
The interior of my 2002 A4 TDI 130 dogmobile/repmobile with 60,000 miles feels so fresh and 100% rattle free. The car has costs very little to run over the past 2 years that I have owned it (£200/month including servicing, suspected depreciation, fuel, all maintenance, tax, etc... I only do 7,000 miles/year with it).
No Mondeo, even bought at the usual massive discounts will be that cheap to run. To be frank, even if it did, you would have to be seriously sad to want to drive a Mondeo, however non-car snob you are. I reckon that those who choose to drive a Mondeo are the ones who really do not know much about cars.

You start your message with 'the Mondeo is supposed to be a very good car to drive' (it is) and end with 'those who choose to drive a Mondeo are the ones who really do not know much about cars'.
By that rationale if you know lots about cars you would not choose one that is nice to drive?!
FWIW I've only had my Mondy for a few months (2nd hand, now about 40k miles) and all seems well in terms of build quality *touch wood*. 2nd hand they are amazing value for money. Even if it cost the same I would choose it over you Audi A4.
I have driven my mates A4 Avant (130 TDi like yours) and I prefer the Mondy in every way - the ride / handling balance is better (Audi too stiff for bumpy roads), better feel through the steering wheel and nicer gearbox. Surely these are the things anyone who cares about cars is concerned with.

i've been in a my mates A4 1.9 130 quattro (coming up to 3years old), it has rattles, alloys are flaking, ride is way to stiff (even on 16in alloys), engine makes a racket, and the whole gearbox/steering feel is rubbish. and this is coming from him. it rates the handling as being poor and ride as rubbish.
theonly good thing about it is the interior. he rates his previous car a vectra 2.2 diesel as being better. this is from a person who likes his cars. his Audi does look nice though
