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.
