- Ford has subtly updated the look of this fourth generation Mondeo, revising the upper and lower front grille, re-styling the bumpers, introducing more stylish 'C'-shaped tail lights and incorporating fresh fog light and LED daytime running light designs. As before, the range is primarily based around hatch and Estate body shapes, the station wagon version order-able with a retractable panoramic glass roof.

Inside, the dash now gets the brand's SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system, which allows Mondeo drivers to control audio, navigation and climate functions plus connected smartphones using simple voice commands. Supported by an 8-inch colour touchscreen that can be operated using pinch and swipe gestures, SYNC 3 is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone-mirroring. As before, there's a digital analogue instrument cluster, while a wrap-around centre console design delivers a cockpit-like feel. Materials quality is better than you might expect from a mainstream brand, with a soft-touch instrument panel and flock-lined central front storage area and glovebox. Smart-design front seats feature a thin seat back - enabling rear seat passengers to enjoy additional legroom without sacrificing space for driver and front passenger.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £22,000 and range up to around £35,000 across a range of five-door hatch, saloon and estate body styles. Trim levels now start with 'Zetec Edition', then buyers have the choice of something sportier ('ST-Line Edtion') or plusher ('Titanium Edition'). For something truly luxurious, you'll need the flagship 'Vignale' variant. As standard, all models have navigation, a DAB tuner, front and rear parking sensors and cruise control with a speed limiter. 'ST-Line' variants introduce extras including a body styling kit, lowered sports suspension, a Ford Power start button, a darkened headliner, privacy glass and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Safety technology is a strongpoint. All derivatves get 'Active City Stop' autonomous braking to mitigate or avoid low-speed collisions at under 31mph. Plus there's Pedestrian Detection, which identifies people and reduces the severity of collisions at speeds of up to 50mph. A radar system also drives the Distance Indication feature and improved Adaptive Cruise Control technology. Cameras support a Lane Keeping Aid and Traffic Sign Recognition, which provides the driver with the speed limit, cancellation signs and overtaking regulations flashed up on the instrument cluster display. There are also full adaptive LED headlights on offer, as well as Active Park Assist featuring Perpendicular Parking.
Cost of Ownership
The Mondeo can't succeed in its particular sector with off-pace economy and emissions. Despite fleet sales falling as a proportion of total Mondeo registrations, Ford cannot afford to overlook this target market segment, especially if it wants to resurrect its company car client base. Fleet managers will like the look of what they're seeing here though. The Hybrid version, for instance, can record 98g/km of CO2 in four-door form or 103g/km in Estate guise (both WLTP figures). The Hybrid can manage up to 52.3mpg of WLTP-rated economy. Most company folk though, will continue to want a diesel and Ford's black pump-fuelled units have followed the downsizing trend of the petrol engines, delivering better fuel efficiency and emissions at the same time as power has increased thanks to advanced technology.
According to WLTP figures , the latest 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine delivers up to 123g/km of CO2 in 150PS form and 61.4mpg on the combined cycle. And 133g/km of CO2 and up to 56.5mpg in 190PS guise. That's down to quite a lot of clever engineering. An integrated intake system with mirror-image porting for optimised engine breathing; a low-inertia turbocharger that enhances low-end torque; and a high-pressure fuel injection system that's more responsive, quieter and offers more precise fuel delivery than the outgoing 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engines. All of it helps this Mondeo meet the latest stringent Euro 6d Temp emissions standards. Standard SCR emissions after-treatment contributes to improved NOX reduction too.

One of the most stylish looking esate cars on the road.
This is the only review of the updated Mondeo on CZcams.
We'll take that!
This car is beautiful, wish it was available in Latinamerica!
Es el mismo auto que el fusion en America
webnetrix oh! Acá en Panamá no llega por eso lo decía. 😅
Yes , and just have. Traded in a 2016 Titanium 150 for an 2019 ST Line 150 . The dealer over valued the Titanium by 3k so I jumped at the new model. A slight downgrade in spec but the 19 is way more refined , faster , and more economical and costs me less per month than before.
I ow and drive an old Ford Mondeo St220 and I lve this car! I' would never buy a new downsized Mondeo!
Same here bro.
I'm currently getting 55mpg + in busy commuting traffic from my 2019 2.0 hybrid vignale. Read lots of reviews stating mid 40's so no idea how they were driving it as on quieter/longer drives I get even better than the above
I have brought a Ford Mondeo mk5 second hand and I love the car bit lower than I would of liked but really has a good driving feel
Hi Rhys, that's brilliant to hear. Glad you're happy with your Mondeo 👍
Front ground clearance on my Mk 5 Estate is problematic when leaving a sloping drive and on to a level road and often scrapes the forward engine tray.
The very worst thing about this car is the Microsoft Synch Sat Nav - its diabolically difficult and often impossible to use. Must have been designed by the same team behind the Windows 8 fiasco.
Otherwise a superb car and very economic. Average 55 mpg, and no road tax
Great to hear you're achieving brilliant fuel economy, Geoff. Are you looking to upgrade any time soon?
Why do car reviews always feature the top of the range models? Most people don't buy the premium model
Rhe titanium is the one most people would go for
Would you buy a Ford Mondeo in 2019?
Yes
I love my Mondeo, 163 Titanium X full of technology, and a great on fuel too.
Just did it. 1,5 Ecoboost estate.
Just bought it!
Of course!!!!
Yes, I just have. In 2021. 👍🏻
Great stuff, Mik! How are you finding it?
I notice that the Mondeo is quite low/closer to the ground from underneath. I am considering buying one, but the road to my cabin is not even so to say. Would you pick a different car in that regards? The Mondeo seems like an asphalt car compared to others? Great informative video!
I has a mondeo for nearly 5 years, a 2015 model, it was very comfortable and great for long journeys. Its very spacious but the handling seems to be not as good as the old one.
@@CL4SSiCS I actually bought one. 2016 titanium with 150 hp. Had it for 1,5 years now and couldn't be more satisfied with the things you mentioned
This Guy was Dustin Hoffman Negotiated😂😁😬😆😆
🤣🤣🤣
nice planet ocean
Defenitly
Let us know if you're interested in getting one, Sundar 👍 bit.ly/39YHCml
Isn't this the 5th generation?
@@dannymondeohawkins2163 But the video is reviewing the latest Mondeo and the latest mondeo is the mk5. As you correctly said, it was introduced in 2014.
Id love this car but ill never buy a hybrid or an EV.
Hi Peter, interested to know what's putting you off hybrid and EV?
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply Hi, If we look at old cars, the first thing that goes are all of the buttons and electronics, so if a car is basically like a laptop on 4 wheels, i don't think its gonna last long and thus the resale value won't be as good. Other thing thats makes me hate EV's & Hybrids is how EU is pushing it onto us by force (bigger and bigger fees for car companies making petrol engines, thus increased price for the customers or like here with mondeo, no petrol).
- I would also miss the sound of the engine
- if 1/4 of the population switched to EV's, theres not enough power in the whole world to charge them all
- instead of the exhaust, the smoke comes out of coal power plants
- those EV batteries are horrible for the environment
- i know some people who are all smug about driving hybrids and act like they're better then everyone else
So this is pretty much it, the main reason is that we are slowly forced into it instead of having it as a fair option.
Only available in 4dr or estate with the hybrid. Gotta have my hatchback!
SERIOUSLY, you people should get with the rest of the world and start converting those numbers you keep spewing, in METRIC, otherwise i'm just hearing jibberish.......................
A dull car for dull drivers. Thankfully Ford have seen the light and have finally ceased its dull existence
Its not the 4th gen, its a mk5
