Test drive Ford Mondeo sedan since 2007 sedan

Ford Mondeo 2.3 AT from 785 000 rub.

In addition to existing, the Ford Corporation introduced the next version of Mondeo with a new 2.3-liter engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission.


There is no need once again to describe the current Ford Mondeo press is still full of flattering reviews about this machine. The recently presented version is not an exception to the same solid, spacious car with good running characteristics and adequate price. However, being equipped with new 2.3-liter Duratec-hee gasoline engine and a 6-speed automatic machine, Mondeo began to perfectly comply with the principle of the middle ground. The tandem of the 161-horsepower power unit and an intelligent automatic transmission not only allows you to confidently and temperament in space, but also contributes to an acceptable appetite of the machine. In absentia, this is confirmed by 10.5-second acceptance and maximum speed of 207 km/h, and the average consumption of 9.3 liters per 100 km. Sitting driving, you feel the balance of attractive running qualities constantly. For example, during overtaking, when the situation requires an assertive shot. Or for refueling visits once a week. As a result, the new version of Mondeo can be considered a successful compromise.
