The new Ford Mondeo Econetic comes in 5 door or estate class and each applies Ford’s 2.0-litre TDCi engine matched to 6 speed transmittance. It gives a blended fuel economy of 54.3mpg to aid it to provide more than 800 miles of driving range.
The competent characteristics include low-rolling resistor tyres and an optimal gear change indicant. It also has an aerodynamics-raising sports suspension, air devices and a rear spoiler.

The interior of the car is fitted with dual-zone automatic temperature control, Bluetooth connectivity with voice control, cruise control, seven airbags and heated front windscreen.
The new models are going to be extended along with the accessible 5 doors or estate 1.8-litre, 123bhp Mondeo Econetic models. This model is on sale at present. The cost starts from £20,795.

Even the price of the lately established Fiesta drops £200 following the Chancellor’s pre-Budget which cut VAT from 17.5% to 15%.
Not all manufacturer’s are anticipated to follow Ford’s lead with some selecting either to cash in on the VAT savings itself, or re-arrange pricing to more rounded figures.

The Dagenham-based manufacturer has also announced it will introduce the saving immediately instead of waiting for the 1 December 15% VAT starting point.

The auto will have new-generation lithium-ion batteries, and be established on the face lifted on 2009 version of the Sonata. Nevertheless, production will be starting only by 2010.
Hyundai is not importing the face lifted Sonata to the UK because it has sold only in small numbers. As an alternative, it is waiting for its all-new large family-sized model, to be called i40. This comes to Europe in late 2010, and will be totally different to the US-market Sonata.

Hyundai is scheduling a Mondeo/Vectra-type series and, though a saloon will still be accessible, the company anticipates the best-seller in the line-up to be an estate.
