Ford Mondeo named greenest family car by What Car?
The most fuel efficient Ford Mondeo was declared the UK's greenest family car at this year's What Car? Green Awards. Already winner of two trophies at the magazine's overall awards in January, the Ford Mondeo 1.6-litre TDCi (turbo diesel) model sealed the green recognition from What Car?.
What Car? editor in chief Chas Hallett said: "Ford has done great things to the Mondeo. The award-winning 1.6 TDCi is the best green family car, being both a brilliant all-rounder and remarkably eco-friendly with its low CO2 rating of 114g/km.
In January, within months of going on sale, the Ford Mondeo was voted by What Car? as best overall family and estate car. Now its frugal fuel economy, while continuing to offer a rewarding drive, has also been rewarded with a What Car? Green Award.
Mark Ovenden, Ford Britain managing director, said: "Thanks to impressive fuel economy, Ford has an outstanding low-carbon vehicle line-up which combines design style, technology and affordability. This Ford Mondeo's UK-built 1.6 diesel engine is an extraordinary combination of performance and low CO2 and is available across the range from Fiesta to Galaxy."
In the Ford Mondeo it produces only 114g CO2/km while returning 65.6mpg – meaning zero road tax in the first year and £30 annually from then. Sales of both the fuel-sipping 1.6-litre diesel and 1.6-litre petrol EcoBoost are rising since being introduced this year on all Ford large cars – Mondeo, S-MAX and Galaxy – with Auto-Start-Stop as standard.
The Ford Mondeo 1.6 TDCi is priced from £19,895 with Bluetooth, cruise control and Easy Fuel, to prevent misfuelling, as standard.
