Ford is working on a four-door coupe version of its
successful Mondeo. It will be a sportier car, that will compete with
cars like Volkswagen Passat CC and Mercedes CLS. The car is expected to
go on sale in 2012. The coupe version will be unveiled after the sedan will receive its facelift in 2010.
The
Mondeo Coupe will feature frameless side windows, vertical air vents
behind the front wheels, finned C-pillars, translucent 3D tail lights,
adjustable seats and the new black panel MMI touchscreen interface.
Of course the coupe will be much more expensive than
the regular sedan, but for those money you will receive better
technology: a start-stop system that will help reducing consumption and
emissions, adaptive cruise control that can recognize speed limits,
park system and many other goodies.http://newcarsgreen.blogspot.com
Under the hood
Ford will place the best engines currently found in the Mondeo: the
175bhp 2.2-litre diesel from the Titanium X Sport model and a
turbocharged 217bhp 2.5-litre petrol five-cylinder. The engine will be
mated to a six-speed manual transmission, but an option Ford will also
offer the new Powershift double-clutch gearbox.
Prices are expected to be in the $50.000 range.
