Ford to launch new generation of Mondeo hybrid models

Ford will enhance the fuel efficient Mondeo hybrid petrol-electric vehicle range, including the introduction of the first practical and spacious Mondeo hybrid estate from 2019.

The new Mondeo hybrid estate will enable customers who require greater load-carrying capability to benefit from the efficiency and refinement of an electric powertrain in many driving scenarios, while maintaining the driving range and freedom offered by a traditional combustion engine.

The Mondeo Hybrid powertrain uses an electric motor to support the specially-developed 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine in driving the wheels, and a generator to enable regenerative charging of the 1.4kWh lithium-ion, air-cooled, recyclable battery located behind the rear seats.

Ford will release full specification for the enhanced Mondeo Hybrid range, which will deliver attractive fuel efficiency and emission performance, and a compelling alternative to diesel powertrains for fleet and private customers, closer to its 2019 on-sale date.

The Mondeo hybrid is currently offered in sleek four-door body style, featuring a sports coupe-inspired profile with low roofline, and also as an upscale Mondeo Vignale variant.
