Which is the most popular engine in the Ford Mondeo?

The diesel engines have been the most popular by far. These engines have a decent amount of power yet remain super efficient, so they are cheaper to run.

Which are the most common model variants?

The latest Mondeo models come in three variants: Style, Zetec and Titanium, although there have been a variety of variants over the Mondeo's lifetime. The top-spec Titanium proves the most popular among used Mondeo buyers due to its large infotainment system (10.0-inch on newer models) and advanced safety equipment.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for the larger 10.0-inch infotainment system, which is easier to read than the standard version, while the available satnav helps drivers find new locations. We also appreciate the high-tech safety features that were available, such as blind spot monitoring and parking sensors.

Is the Ford Mondeo a good family car?

The Mondeo has been one of the top family cars for several decades. The various bodystyles offer a wide range of interior space, but all variants can hold four adults comfortably and have a decent-sized boot.

Is there a hybrid version of the Ford Mondeo?

Yes, Ford offered a hybrid configuration using a petrol engine with an output of 184bhp. The hybrid offers a better efficiency rating than the petrol powertrains at 52.3mpg, although some diesel engines perform a little better.

Is the Ford Mondeo available as an automatic?

Yes, Ford Mondeo models have either a manual or an automatic transmission. Among used cars, the manual powertrains have been more popular, but it's not difficult to find an automatic either.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Yes, there are some models with four-wheel drive, but they are difficult to find. Instead, the vast majority of used Mondeos have standard front-wheel drive.
