Ford
Mondeo: European Styling and Technological
Design
With its impressive style and German engineering, it should
come as no surprise that the Ford Mondeo TDCi won the
Australia's Best Cars Award in 2007 for one of the mid-size car
categories. It comes in five other varieties, such as the LX
Sedan, Zetec Sedan, Zetec Hatch, TDCi Hatch and XR5 Turbo, all
of which have something to offer any kind of palette. Its
sleek, sporty exterior styling complements the luxurious
interior with a flair for European design and ergonomics.
German Engineering
The Ford Mondeo features impeccable German engineering which is
recognized at the lift of a handle. Quality, impressive design
features are at the forefront of these models and can be sensed
at every turn. The ergonomic design system, the Human Machine
Interface (HMI), captures the essence of this amazing European
technology in how the driver operates the Mondeo. Additionally,
a state-of-the-art engine, brakes, steering, and safety
mechanisms complete the German engineered Mondeo.
Once behind the wheel, it becomes clear that the careful
deliberation behind the design is nothing short of German
perfection. The safety features include a seven-airbag system
and Dynamic Stability Control as standard on every Mondeo
model. Peace of mind is just another great benefit to owning
this choice vehicle.
European Luxury
"Kinetic design", or energy in motion, is a sought after design
attribute in the car industry. It is the feeling that a car is
moving even when at standstill. The Ford Mondeo captures this
characteristic with every curve and surface. It exudes all the
power and sophistication one would expect to find in a luxury
vehicle, making it a leader in the pack. In a press release
from March 2007, President of Ford Australia, Tom Gorman
remarks, "Mondeo is an eye-catching design which dares to be
different, yet achieves a level of sophistication and poise
usually expected in a more expensive vehicle.
Premium quality materials, exemplary driving dynamics
and an extensive feature list are all hallmarks of the smart
new German engineered Mondeo, which will introduce new levels
of refinement, comfort and safety to the segment."
Technological Advantages
Ease of use in HMI, or Human Machine Interface system, is a
clear advantage of owning this vehicle. With clever button
positioning on the steering wheel and strategically placed
control panel, HMI is at its peak performance allowing the
driver to navigate safely and efficiently. Other key features
are capless refueling, "follow me home" lighting, rain sensing
windscreen wipers and the Keyless Start Button highlight the
innovative design attributes in the Ford Mondeo.
