Ford Mondeo estate: Test Drive

Date: 15 May 2007   |   Author:

Category: Upper medium
Prices: £14,995-£24,195
Key Rival: Vauxhall Vectra Estate&l

Ford reckons there could be a big opportunity with the new estate - with the increasing environmental pressure on off-roaders, the company thinks there could be a rush of people heading back towards estate cars.

It accounts for around one-in-four Mondeo sales in the UK, while in some continental markets including Germany it's nearer half of volume. The wagon goes on sale here at the same time as the five-door, and the saloon, which accounts for tiny volumes.

The new model is more stylish than that it replaces, and with the most popular 2.0 TDCi diesel under the bonnet and in top-spec Titanium X, it comes up at 36.7ppm, just under the equivalent Vauxhall Vectra Elite. However, it doesn't move the game on in terms of clever load bay tactics - it just offers a massive load carrying potential combined with all the plus points of the five door. That means refined, well equipped, spacious and well put together for a price £1250 above the equivalent hatchback.
