       powertrain combinations delivering power of choice with
       the broadest-ever Mondeo line-up for customers
     • Ford begins production of Mondeo with award-winning 1.0-

Ford has further expanded the number of powertrain
combinations that are available to order for the all-new Ford
Mondeo to provide the widest ever choice to customers in Europe.

Production has now started of models equipped with Ford’s multi-
award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost – the first 1.0-litre petrol engine
in the segment. The line-up is further extended with a new 210
PS bi-turbo 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine; fuel-efficient new 1.5-litre
TDCi diesel engine; and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive technology for
optimised traction and performance.

All-new Mondeo now offers 14 powertrain combinations as part
of a comprehensive four-door, five-door and wagon body-style
range, including:

     • 125 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol manual
     • 160 PS 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol manual and automatic
     • 203 PS and 240 PS 2.0-litre EcoBoost petrol automatic
     • 120 PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel manual
     • 150 PS and 180 PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel manual and
       automatic
     • 150 PS and 180 PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel Intelligent All-
       Wheel Drive
     • 210 PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel automatic

• 187 PS petrol-electric hybrid

Mondeo also offers ultra-low CO2 ECOnetic models, and Ford’s
new upscale Vignale product and ownership experience will debut
with the Ford Vignale Mondeo later this year.

“With the full range of powertrains now rolling off the production
line at our state-of-the-art plant in Valencia, Spain, Ford now offers
the widest ever choice for Mondeo customers,” said Roelant de
Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales & Service, Ford of Europe.
“Sophisticated technology like our segment-first Inflatable Rear
Seatbelts helps make Mondeo an even more compelling choice.”

Ford received more than 8,000 orders for the all-new Mondeo
since the vehicle was launched late last year. Sales of the all-
new Mondeo were up 29 per cent year-over-year in January and
order take was up 60 per cent as the model is rolling out to Ford
dealerships across Europe.

Advanced technologies have proved popular, with 53 per cent
of customers specifying Active Park Assist with Perpendicular
Parking, and 44 per cent choosing Dynamic LED headlights with
Adaptive Front Lighting System.

Innovative new engines
Ford’s 125 PS 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine version of Ford’s 1.0-litre
EcoBoost engine is uniquely calibrated for Mondeo to deliver 5.1
l/100 km (55.4 mpg) and 119 g/km CO2 emissions.*

Named International Engine of the Year in 2014 for an
unprecedented third time in a row, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost
delivers the power of a larger engine with core EcoBoost
technologies including high-pressure direct fuel injection,
and Twin-independent Variable Cam Timing. A low inertia
turbocharger spins at up to 248,000 rpm, more than 4,000
times per second and almost twice the maximum rpm of the
turbochargers powering 2014 F1 race car engines.

Ford’s new bi-turbo 2.0-litre TDCi engine delivers 210 PS and 450
Nm of torque – available from 2000 rpm – with CO2 emissions
of 124 g/km and 4.8 l/100 km (58.8 mpg).* The new engine is
combined with Ford’s six-speed PowerShift twin-clutch automatic
gearbox, and enables 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 7.9
seconds.

Electronically-controlled sequential bi-turbo design enables faster
engine response. A small, low-inertia turbine is used to respond
quickly to initial boost demand, and a larger high-inertia turbo is
able to sustain greater boost pressure for peak performance.

Ford’s advanced new 120 PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel engine replaces
the 115 PS 1.6-litre TDCi diesel engine in most markets, reducing
CO2 emissions by 5 g/km to 104 g/km with optimised combustion
chamber design, new high-pressure fuel injection and Variable

Nozzle Turbocharger technology delivering 4.0 l/100 km (70.6
mpg).*
The new Euro Stage VI emissions-compliant 1.5-litre TDCi also
features a lean NOX trap for cleaner exhaust emissions, while
internal friction is reduced with microscopic applications of
diamond-like coating.
Sophisticated all-wheel drive
All-new Mondeo customers now also can specify Intelligent All-
Wheel Drive with the 150PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine and six-
speed manual transmission, or 180 PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine
and six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission.

Ford’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system offers a seamless
transition between front-wheel drive and all-wheel-drive
performance to automatically enhance traction and road-holding
when needed. The system continually measures how the car’s
wheels are gripping the road surface every 16 milliseconds, and can
adjust power delivery to individual wheels in 100milliseconds.

“Whether it’s enhancing performance, efficiency, refinement or
safety, all-new Mondeo continues to set new levels of expectation,”
said Joe Bakaj, vice president, Product Development, Ford of
Europe. “Customers already have some fantastic features and
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is another reason for them to be
excited.”

The new 2.0-litre TDCi engine with revised engine block, new
cylinder-head and fuel injection designs, and Variable Nozzle
Turbocharger technology was among the first all-new Mondeo
models available to order from September last year. The Mondeo
range also includes the new 160 PS 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engine
with integrated exhaust manifold technology, 203 PS and 240 PS
2.0-litre EcoBoost models, and the all-new Mondeo Hybrid.

The first hybrid electric vehicle ever manufactured by Ford in
Europe, the Mondeo Hybrid is available in four-door body-style and
uses two electric motors and 1.4kWh lithium-ion battery combined
with a 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine to drive at up to 135
km/h (85 mph) in electric mode. The drivetrain delivers 187 PS with
4.2 l/100 km (67.3 mpg) and 99g/km CO2.*

Advanced technology
Advanced Ford technologies and comfort features have proved to
be a hit, including Active Park Assist with Perpendicular Parking,
which enables drivers to detect suitably-sized spaces and reverse
hands-free into those parallel to the road or side-to-side with other
cars.

Also popular are Dynamic LED headlights with Adaptive Front
Lighting System, which adjusts the headlight beam angle and
intensity to match driving environment. Heated steering wheels
have been specified on 27 per cent of models, and 20 per cent have
heated rear seats.

All-new Mondeo also debuts Ford’s new Pre-Collision Assist with
Pedestrian Detection technology, which can detect people in or
near the road ahead, or who may cross the vehicle’s path. If the
system detects a potential collision it automatically applies the
brakes if the driver does not respond to warnings.

Ford’s 150 PS 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine has proved to be the
most popular to-date at 43percent, while 52 per cent of consumers
have opted for the unique-to-Europe wagon body-style, with 29
per cent choosing Panther Black paint to highlight the Mondeo’s
sports coupe profile and sophisticated and technical front end
design.

* The declared fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are measured
according to the technical requirements and specifications of the
European Regulations (EC) 715/2007 and (EC) 692/2008 as last
amended. Fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are specified for
a vehicle variant and not for a single car. The applied standard test
procedure enables comparison between different vehicle types
and different manufacturers. In addition to the fuel efficiency of a
car, driving behaviour as well as other non-technical factors play a
role in determining a car's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
CO2 is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
Results in MPG also correspond to this European drive cycle and
are stated in imperial gallons. The results may differ from fuel
economy figures in other regions of the world due to the different
drive cycles and regulations used in those markets.
