2015 FORD Mondeo Wagon 2.0L EcoBoost 6AT FWD (240 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The station wagon market in Europe has two main contenders: the Volkswagen Passat and the Ford Mondeo. Both are fighting for the supremacy in the medium-segment station wagon market. The Passat is ruling, but Ford is relentlessly charging. In 2015 it launched a new generation of the Mondeo Wagon (station-wagon) for the masses.

So, if someone will need a vehicle fit to carry big loads of furniture from the Ikea local store, they can choose the Mondeo Wagon. Its big tailgate, up to 1630 liters (57.5 cu-ft) of trunk space and diesel engines makes it a good option. In some markets, it was offered even with a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Manual transmission is available on the lower trim level.

Inside, the Mondeo features an infotainment system Sync 2 that works fine with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The drivers are greeted with an LCD display and two dials or an optional 10” digital-analog instrument cluster.

Two important improvements were brought by the 2015 Mondeo: the hybrid powerplant and the AWD system. The hybrid system offers a mix made from a 2.0-liter Atkinson gasoline engine that offers 140 hp, plus an electric motor of 120 hp. It is mated to a CVT gearbox.

The AWD version is available with an intelligent system that varies the torque distribution between the axles. The engine offered for these variants was a 2.0-liter TDCI unit that offers 210 hp, mated to a dual-clutch 8-speed gearbox.
