Car and Blog - 2013 Ford Mondeo Revealed, Ford has officially unveiled the 2013 Mondeo, ahead of its debut at the Paris Motor Show.Originally previewed in January, the model was developed under the "One Ford" strategy so it is virtually identical to the US-spec Fusion. However, the European variant will be offered in a variety of body styles including a sedan, hatchback and wagon.
2013 Ford Mondeo will also offer segment-first SYNC with MyFord Touch a voice-activated in-car connectivity system that delivers an eight-inch colour touchscreen and the ability to act as a WiFi hotspot for up to five devices.
SYNC with MyFord Touch will enable drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road while controlling phone and media player functions from connected devices, as well as the vehicle's climate control, radio and CD-player, and navigation system, using voice commands.
Like the Fiesta, Focus and Kuga, the newcomer is a world car that will be sold unchanged across the globe. It will be called Fusion in the US, but will continue to be known as Mondeo in the UK and Europe.
Pricing is likely to match the current car, particularly when it comes to the popular Edge and sporty Zetec models – which start at £17,795. But in other respects, it’s all change.
The interior delivers unprecedented levels of ergonomics and comfort, with superior craftsmanship throughout the driver-focused cockpit. Soft-touch materials, premium finishes and equipment contribute to the most premium Ford Mondeo experience ever.
The all-new four-door Ford Mondeo HEV is Ford's first hybrid passenger car for Europe, and combines a specially-developed 2.0-litre petrol engine with a 35kW lithium-ion battery to provide high fuel economy and low CO2 emissions. For the first time on Ford Mondeo, a diesel all-wheel drive variant will be offered, delivering superior traction, performance and handling.
Under the hood, a variety of engines will be available. Detailed specifications haven't been released, but choices are slated to include:
- A 1.0-liter EcoBoost with 125 PS (91 kW / 123 hp) and 170 Nm (125 lb-ft) of torque - 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) with overboost
- A hybrid variant with a 2.0-liter petrol engine and a 35kW lithium-ion battery
- An undisclosed diesel engine which can be paired to an all-wheel drive system
