Ford Mondeo 2014 review - was it worth the wait?

A long time coming, the new Ford Mondeo is a much more refined and mature-feeling product, but some of the handling magic has also been lost...

It's difficult to think of any mainstream car in 2014 that's got a bigger fight on its hands than the new Ford Mondeo. We first saw it almost three years ago at the Detroit Motor Show, where it was unveiled as the new US market's Ford Fusion.
Now, it seriously has its work cut out squaring up against German rivals from Audi, BMW and VW, as well as the latest models from the trendy SUV/crossover segment.
The Mondeo has been on sale in the US, badged as the Fusion, for almost three years, but Ford has made sure the Mondeo is bang up to date with all the latest tech and safety features.
There's a wide range of engines on offer, with more becoming available in 2015, but the all-important question is this: is the Ford Mondeo still the best handling car in the class?
Watch the video to find out...

I very rarely defend Fords because i believe somewhat that they are overrated by motoring journalists, but having seen the new Mondeo in the flesh i have to say that the design impressed me. It is a very seductive car in the flesh especially with the drl, and it reminds me a lot of the Audi A7. Also, it hides its bulk very well indeed. I think Chris Hamilton and Ford have done a good job in designing this car unlike the rest of their range.

Americans have the same design, yes, but as shown here, the UK and Europe get a nice 5-door version instead of the traditional sedan platform we have. Same goes with Mondeo Wagon, Fiesta 3-door, and Focus Wagon variants. While there likely is a financial case not to bring those cars here, they are certainly more desirable in my eyes.

emjayay And that is a damn shame. Hatchbacks/wagons are really versatile and ultimately are a better fit for 90% of the drivers out there. The SUV/CUV craze here has quashed that idea. Shame about diesel options as well, especially for such a large country with its vast interstate system that would play right into that fuel's strong-suit.

Expect the very best from Ford? My Ford broke down so much, it should have had a warning label on it. My bad experience aside though, Mat Watson (in his review) gave a lot of praise to the Ford Mondeo. Steering is always a tricky thing. On one hand you want it tight and responsive when you are on back roads with twists and turns. On the other hand, you want good power steering when you are in town and have to constantly stop and turn.

still a nice car, BUT , three years too late to keep ahead in it's field. Remember seeing this three years ago with its Aston-like design features - but poor excuse not to have the model introduced into the European market at the same time as it's American release, what, Ford couldn't export them from the States? Perhaps in Europe they still had a backlog of the previous model to churn out before closing the factories. Doesn't the Mazda 6 use the same platform anyway, regardless, this Mondeo will still sell - especially to the fleet market.

As to the passat? Same old Passat - nothing's changed since the B6s really.

@Stichting-AAP 9 жыл бұрын

DAYM The B8 is brand new... It's even on a new platform, that it's looks aren't that different is because the people who buy them, don't want them to look (very) different. Well oké the mazda 6, isn't my choise either, but it's dasboard and console looks better than the Ford Bunker Mondeo IMO. (I sat in one with leather seats and everything) They've really should've launched it 2 years ago,when the passat and insignia were kind of aging. The Mondeo looks old already. It's exterior is oké but I just think the older one looks better/sporties as well. You see, it's just not outstanding in any way. it's just a car...

Ponygt 662 I don't think going after the enthusiast market is what will save Ford. Top selling car in Europe is the Golf, correct? Unless it's tuned a lot differently than my wife's Rabbit I'd hardly call that an enthusiast's car. Plus again CUVs are the anti-enthusiast's car and are gaining a lot of ground in Europe.

Everything went bust when Ford introduced 3rd gen Focus, bigger, softer with quirky design. Now Focus struggles to stay in top 5 and Ford is loosing big money in Europe. Focus always were a better looking, better handling and still practical alternative for VW Golf, now it's just practical.

one of the worst review ever from AutoExpress. What a waste. Would've preferred Mat Watson by miles.

I can hardly hear what he is saying. To make matters worst, he tries to speak fast while adding spices here and there. Watch how Mat Watson do his thing and you should see a clear difference/standard. To each his own anyway.

I noticed the sound got worse when he was in the back seat.. But not enought to call this the worst review ever :) The reviewer seemed knowledgeable and the review was informative. The ecoboost mustang review was bad tho!

Darren Loke Sorry about the sound - the microphone wasn't picking Ollie's voice up as it should have been. We decided to put the video up anyway as you can still hear what he has to say.

It wasn't that bad, really. The drop in quality was noticeable, but not enough to bin the take.

So little bhp from a petrol engine? Come on ford you can do better than that... Diesels have more power than the top spec engine

I thought 125 bhp from a 1.0 litre was pretty good?

thelivingdodo2 not really when you can get a 1 litre bike engine that kicks out 220bhp

Mature or Manure? This is an awful car. If all you want is transport form Point A to B then this is your car. The Fusion ECO Boost 4WD is the real thing. UK Ford should be ashamed of what they are offering customers. What a let down and step down coming from the Sapphire Cosworth. What did they do, fire all the fun people that has worked for Ford UK since the 50s?

Center console looks downright old and tacky. They should have redesigned it from scratch instead of just throwing in boring round buttons from aliexpress.

Do you need a HGV license to drive this monstrosity? It will still be easily outsold by the 3 series, it looks dated already and too much like the outgoing version (so a bad thing)
