New Range Topper For Ford



This is Ford's new flagship, the Mondeo Titanium X Sport. Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels and a styling kit while the interior gets aluminium trim as well as red stitching on the half-leather seats, steering wheel and gear lever. The Focus ST's 220hp 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine is available but the new high-performance diesel will be the big seller. The 175hp 2.2-litre TDCi engine can dismiss the 0-100km/h sprint in just 8.4 seconds and a top 224km/h. Economy is pegged at just 6.2 litres of diesel per 100km and it slips into VRT Band D, meaning 24 percent VRT and €600 road tax. Standard equipment includes an in-dash Sony CD changer, rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights, front and rear parking sensors and dual-zone climate control. Prices should start at around €42,000 for the TDCi model.
