MY18.25 changes?

[Womble99]

Anyone know what changes there are between the MY17.5 and the soon to arrive MY18.25 if any? There doesn't seem to be a lot mentioned about it so I gather it is most likely very minor?

Guess I will find out in a couple of months. Have a new diesel titanium hatch in Ruby Red on order

Have been told the electric park brake button will shift to the RHS of the console, and the right hand buttons to the left.
Also, the addition of an electronically controlled front passenger seat. This upgrade may apply to Ambiente models only? I think the above specs already had this.
The 18.25 build started in Sep 17.

My new Trend Wagon has the parking break on the right. It says it’s a September build. Is it an 18.25 then?

Cralis. I'm not able to confirm this for you, but based on the feedback I provided above, it may well be. Suggest it would be one of the first 18.25 specs sold in AU if it is, as I believe the lead time from Spain is around three months.
Maybe some other 2017 MD owners could comment on what side their handbrake button is, and build date.

Thanks. Parking break definitely on the right. And says Sept 2017. Sold as a 17.5 on the contract though. Would be cool if they slipped up.

Still no definite answer over thr Christmas break from Ford about the changes but not long to wait. The ship with our mondeo is due to pass through Fremantle today on it's way to Melbourne

Its a minor update with three changes:

1. Electric park brake moved to right of console.
2. Parking Sensor and Park Assist switches moved to the left of console.
3. Ambiente passenger seat will change from 2 way adjustable to 4 way adjustable.

Affect came on from vehicles built 18th September 2017 that would have arrived in Aus in November.

Interesting,, each MY17.5 we test drove had those features as well? The first 2 at least as I never tested tge ambient light function.

The Ambiente passenger seat will now get 4 way adjustment instead of 2 way. Not ambient lighting..

The Trend and Titanium should have this already so no change for the seats for those two models.
