Also offered in petrol guise, Ford gives the buyer the option of the Mondeo Hatch in 2.0-litre EcoBoost form which is a remarkably gutsy performer. The combination of turbocharging, direct fuel injection and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) works really well together.

A very respectable 177 kW of power over 5000 rpm along with 345 Nm of torque between 2300 and 4900 rpm ensures that the Ford Mondeo Hatch is ready to deliver swift performance.

Some of the nice 2019 Mondeo features include the enhanced Active Park Assist8 package, adaptive LED headlamps, modern voice commands to find your nearest destination, hands-free phone calling and the capability to receive and listen to text messages on the run.

Then there is the style. Just look at those smooth and stylish Ford Mondeo lines. These are lines that always look nice and stand the test of time. Interior fit and finish is impressive, and you certainly get your money’s worth from all the modern instrumentation and controls in the dashboard and centre fascia.

It also comes with a power sunshade for those extra sunny days, and occupants will enjoy the visual treats you get with this.
