Ford has announced that the all-new Mondeo is available to order in the UK, with the new model being available in five-door, four-door (hybrid only) and estate body styles. Prices for the all-new model start from £20,795 (€26,670).

The first model for Europe to be built on Ford’s new global CD-segment platform, the Mondeo will be available from launch in the UK with the 160PS (158hp) 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter EcoBoost petrol engines, the latter offered in two states of tune – 203PS (200hp) and 240PS (237hp). The 125PS (123hp) 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder unit will arrive in early 2015, along with all-wheel drive variants.

Ford will also offer ECOnetic Technology models, powered by 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter diesel engines with anticipated CO2 emissions of 94g/km and 107g/km. The four-door Mondeo Hybrid combines a specially-developed 2.0-liter petrol engine with two electric motors (one to drive the wheels and another to supply regenerative charging) and a 1.4kWh lithium-ion battery. Ford’s first hybrid model built in Europe is expected to deliver 99 g/km CO2.

The all-new Mondeo will offer a series of safety technologies including the new Pedestrian Detection system, which is part of the Adaptive Cruise package. The latter also introduces Active Braking, which can autonomously apply up to full braking force to help the driver mitigate or avoid many types of rear-end collision. Ford’s industry-first Inflatable Rear Seatbelt technology will also make its European debut on the Mondeo.

Other driving assistance features include an advanced version of Active Park Assist featuring Perpendicular Parking, Ford’s Active City Stop collision avoidance system and Lane Keeping Aid. The Mondeo also debuts Ford’s adaptive LED headlamp technology in Europe, which combines full-LED headlamps with Ford’s Adaptive Front Lighting System.
