2010 ford Mondeo Face Lift

[XtRmn8]

What does this mean for Mondeo engines in Australia? Does the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost SCTi petrol engine replace the current 2.3-litre petrol engine?

If the Zetec range is going to get the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost SCTi petrol engine with the new DSG box then it will be a real nice package. This is just what the car needs to make it a great all round package, 149Kw or power and new DSG box should make it a nice drive.

Sounds like they might be using the spare tyre space for the lpg tanks with those capacities. 40L is not much but if it can get >300km it would be a good cost saving, however if you need to refuel more than once a day on a regular basis I could see it getting old.

XtRmn8, I wonder if there might be 2 levels of the Ecoboost engine - one to replace the 2.3 and the other to replace the 2.5T?

Its all up in the air as far as Oz is concerned, Ford Australia will have a shopping basket and pick what they want but could get messy having different combinations, especially the cost option of the PowerShift Auto which may mean either that or manual, cannot see them continuing with the existing 6 speed auto then again..............

The most popular drivetrain in Europe would be the 2.0 TDCi with the 6-speed manual, but we don't even see that here. Conversely, you'd have to look hard to find any used 2.3 petrol autos in Europe.

I'd guess that the Powershift box will replace the auto. But who knows what engines we will get, and how they will be priced.

That's really interesting - they've launched the new drivetrains without waiting for the facelift. So maybe we'll see them here before the end of the year?

Will be interesting to see if they drop the 2.2 diesel in Europe for the high output 2.0.

Would be nice to see the Kuga here, but I guess it won't happen while the Territory is around.

Yeah noticed that no daytime running lights!

FORD - MONDEO
Together with the new Ford S-MAX and new Ford Galaxy, the Ford Mondeo spearhead the launch of Ford's new high-efficiency EcoBoost 4-cylinder advanced turbocharged petrol direct injection engines, 2.0l Duratorq TDCi diesel engine with Stage V emission rating and additional new 163 PS version. Launch in Switzerland will be end of May.

hmm maybe I was right Jun/July here since they only have to drop the engine in and the Powershift

THE FORD MONDEO - Runner Up in TMR's Best Drive, Best Value Awards for 2009 - is set for one final facelift ahead of a new global model in 2014, according to reports out of Europe this week.

Well now we know why the facelift maybe another after this,long wait for new model in 2014 and who knows what engines/transmissions will be available then!!

Ford’s third world car would be the next Mondeo, which is set to follow the Focus and Fiesta, according to sources who spoke with Autocar. People familiar with the matter have said that the designs for the new Mondeo are now nearing completion and that the finished car is expected to hit the showrooms in 2014.

The model is expected to replace the European Mondeo and the US market Fusion. The next Mondeo would be manufactured in Europe, the US and China, similar to the new Focus shown in the Detroit motor show. It’s notable how the new Mondeo broke away and is now being designed and engineered in the US. The finished production car is expected to be sold globally with no design changes to satisfy local markets. Like the Focus and Fiesta, there will most likely be small chassis alterations to suit local driving conditions.

Could this be what the New Mondeo 2014 looks like ugh!!!

In a break from tradition though, the new Mondeo is being designed and engineered in the US.

Well, here's the next Falcon. I just hope the Yanks don't stuff it up.

Thats the Mondeo stuffed then :

ps why are you getting rid of the 17" wheels & what make/model are they

[apstar]

One of the reasons I got the Mondeo was the fact it was engineered & designed in Germany may be the facelift model will be my last for the blue oval happy to upgrade diesel engine with powershift transmission knowing the yanks it will have double coil springs and a few recalls thrown in for suspense BIG mistake F O R D :togo:

Because most of the driving I do is on NZ country roads, the 16" wheels actually work better. If I drove mainly on city roads, then the 17" wheels give better grip, especially with the Bridgestone Potenza RE001s fitted (aka Adrenalins).

Wheels are Ford Mondeo Mk4 Zetec Y-spoke wheels (17" x 7.5) with 235/45 tyres. Can post a photo if you're interested.

Looking at this makes me wish I was young again sigh!

latest and final specs and my final post on this topic otherwise it will become boring

The 2010 Ford Mondeo
Date of publication: 2010-03-15 09:58:12
The versatile Ford Mondeo now benefits from improved fuel economy and lower emissions combined with stronger performance thanks to new high efficiency Ford EcoBoost petrol-injection turbo and upgraded Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engines.

These powertrains are also available in Ford's other large car models, the new 2010 Ford S-Max and Galaxy.

New for Mondeo are the all-new, high efficiency, turbocharged, 203PS (149kW) 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost SCTi petrol engine and significantly improved 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi diesels with 115PS (85kW) and 140PS (103kW) power outputs plus an impressive new 163PS (120kW) version.

Additionally, the smooth and effortless Ford PowerShift six-speed dual-clutch transmission system comes to the Mondeo range. It is fitted as standard equipment with the EcoBoost petrol engine and is optionally available for the 140PS and 163PS Duratorq TDCi diesels.

"Mondeo shares much of its architecture with the S-Max and Galaxy models, and is also produced in the same plant, so we thought it was important to make our latest powertrain offerings accessible to Mondeo customers as well," said Jorg Beyer, Ford of Europe's Vehicle Line Director for Large and Luxury Vehicles. "These new powertrains are responsive and refined, and ideally suited to Mondeo's acclaimed driving enjoyment, yet without sacrificing economy or CO2 performance."

New 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost SCTi
Mondeo, along with the new S-MAX and Galaxy models, will spearhead the launch in Europe of the company's all-new, global Ford EcoBoost engine family, introducing a new era in advanced petrol engine technology.

Featuring lightweight all-aluminium construction, the latest-generation high-pressure direct-injection system, low-inertia turbocharging and twin-independent variable cam timing, the 2.0-litre Ford EcoBoost SCTi engine has an advanced combustion system which brings new levels of performance and fuel efficiency to petrol units in this power range.

With a substantial, maximum output of 203PS (149kW) at 5,500rpm combined with maximum torque of 300Nm delivered across a broad 1,750-4,500rpm range, the new Ford EcoBoost SCTi engine allows Mondeo to achieve 0-100km/h acceleration in just 7.9 seconds (8.2 seconds for the wagon) with a target top speed of 232 km/h for the 4- and 5-door versions and 227 km/h for the wagon.

A key benefit of the Ford EcoBoost technology is that it delivers very good fuel economy and CO2 emissions as well as impressive performance. Combined fuel economy is as low as 7.7 l/100 km which translates into an average CO2 emission of just 179g/km. Compared with the previous Mondeo 161PS 2.3-litre automatic model, CO2 emissions are reduced by 19 per cent despite the fact that the new 2.0-litre SCTi engine has over 25 per cent more power.

Ford 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi
At the same time, customers preferring diesel technology now benefit from a significantly improved 2.0-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi engine family which complies with Stage V emission regulations and, for the first time, is available in three power levels – 115PS, 140PS and a new 163PS (85, 103 and 120kW) unit.

These engines are particularly noted for their driveability, enhanced by the delivery of high torque levels at low revs – 300Nm at just 1,500rpm in the case of the 115PS version, 320Nm at 1750rpm with the 140PS and 340Nm at 2,000rpm with the 163PS engines.

To meet strict Stage V emission regulations, the Duratorq TDCi engine has been comprehensively revised. New solenoid fuel injectors, now with eight smaller holes, work with an injection pressure of 2,000 bar for improved fuel atomisation, compared with the former six-hole piezo injectors and lower 1,800 bar maximum pressure. To align with this new pressure, the combustion-chamber bowl has also been redesigned and a new engine control module, with new calibration, has been fitted to give more flexibility on pilot injections.

All of these modifications not only result in lower emissions and CO2 output, but also deliver reduced injection noise and better overall combustion noise level, despite the higher injection pressure.

An improved turbocharger design with revised inlet duct for faster response, a high-efficiency Exhaust Gas Recirculation EGR cooler and a new coated Diesel Particulate Filter (cDPF), also contribute to meeting the latest emission levels, fuel saving and reduced CO2 as well as providing new torque and power levels.

With characteristically refined performance and low cost of ownership, these new Duratorq TDCi engines also deliver impressive combined fuel economy and CO2 performance. With fuel consumption of 5.3 l/100 km and an average CO2 emission of just 139g/km, all of the new Mondeo TDCi models with six-speed manual transmission deliver figures that were formerly only achieved by the dedicated Mondeo ECOnetic.

Ford Powershift
The Ford Mondeo range also sees the introduction of the efficient and smooth-changing Ford PowerShift six-speed double wet-clutch transmission.

This is a perfect match for both the new Ford EcoBoost petrol direct-injection and Ford Duratorq TDCi common-rail diesel engines. It is standard with the new 2.0-litre EcoBoost SCTi engine and also available as an option with both the 140 and 163PS (103 and 120kW) versions of the 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi. With these diesel powertrain combinations, Mondeo delivers a combined fuel economy of just 5.6l/100km, with an average CO2 emission of 149g/km.

The Ford PowerShift transmission was developed by Getrag Ford Transmissions GmbH as a 50:50 Ford/Getrag joint venture and essentially consists of two layshaft transmissions working in parallel, each with its own wet-clutch unit.

Thanks to the layout of the intermediate shafts – one carrying the 'uneven' gears 1, 3 and 5, and the other the 'even' gears 2, 4 and 6 – subsequent gear changes can be prepared by pre-selecting the next gear while in motion and at full power. The change then takes place through the opposed activation of both clutches, this being co-ordinated to avoid torque interruption.

In contrast to conventional automatic transmissions, the basic technical configuration of the Ford PowerShift transmission offers numerous advantages. It does not, for instance, require any complex sub-systems such as torque converters, planetary gear sets, multiple wet-clutches and multiple bands – all of which serve to significantly reduce gearbox efficiency through increased inertia and drag torque effects.

The result is impressive. Ford PowerShift provides the operational ease and convenience of a conventional automatic transmission, coupled with the performance of a manual, while also delivering fast, sporty and notably smooth shifts. A further advantage is its high torque capacity and choice of ratios, which make Ford Powershift an ideal partner for modern high performance diesel engines.

Hmmm......no ordinary 3-pedal manual available by the look of things.......
the smooth and effortless Ford PowerShift six-speed dual-clutch transmission system.......It is fitted as standard equipment with the EcoBoost petrol engine

[Tles]

XR5 is apparently discontinued from update according to comparo against Liberty GT and Passat R36 in MOTOR mag.

Ecoboost powershift does sound like a good drivetrain.

BEIJING — Ford is beefing up its offerings in the China market, saying on Thursday that it will launch the Edge here by the end of 2010 and introduce its EcoBoost engine technology in the Ford Mondeo lineup. The automaker made the announcements at the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, where it also displayed the Ford Start concept.

The Dearborn automaker said a 2.0-liter EcoBoost-powered version of the Ford Mondeo will be introduced in China before the end of 2010. It is the first time that China will get an EcoBoost engine. "The 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost inline-4 is the first engine in the EcoBoost lineup to go truly global," said Ford in a statement. The technology bundles direct fuel injection and turbocharging for better fuel economy.

Ford also noted that it was pulling out all the stops for its display at the Beijing show, noting that the Ford stand is "its largest ever in China, with 17 interactive stations."

It's generally well known (amongst Ford-ites) that EUCD and CD3 will move to a common platform for the next generation mid sizer. Not sure whether the Mazda 6 is part of this now but there is no reason why Fusion and Mondeo can't share a platform.

But yes, one has to wonder at whether the US can do a better job than European R&D centres. I do believe FoA has had some input into this next-gen platform too...

[apstar]

Basic American design is floating suspension,power this and power that, not to mention their recalls on build quality I may well be wrong but I will take the last model out of Europe with the new engines & transmissions and I will be happy, but I first need to see the design out of USA just in case :thebirds:

Maybe they are holding off until the EcoBoost Falcon debuts, to give it more impact?

Nothing stopping them with the new diesel though...

They probably don't want buyers to have a choice between a Falcon and a Mondeo with the same engine. I know which I'd buy...

How is that even possible when Diesel Wagon is not on sale & not even in the country??

It does sound silly not to offer the lastest & best engine available in the Mondeo here in Aust

Totally agree I had my heart set on a TDCi 2.2L 400Nm Powershift Transmission

Have I missed something here with the diesel wagon?
I didn't think they were out here yet? I'd like a Titanium TDCi wagon, but might have to settle on the hatch when the lease is up.
Or is life too short to stay with a Mondeo after three years?
