New Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport with 175Hp 2.2TDCi or 220Hp 2.5 Turbo

The Titanium X Sport is the new flagship model in the Ford Mondeo line-up. UK customers can choose between two powertrains, the existing 5-cylinder 220Hp 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol, or Ford’s new 175Hp 2.2-liter TDCi diesel, which is expected to account for the majority of sales.

With 35Hp more than its 2.0TDCi sister, the 2.2TDCi engine accelerates the Mondeo from standstill to 62mph (100 km/h) in 8.4 seconds and on to a top speed of 139 mph or 224 km/h with a combined economy figure of 38.0 US mpg or 6.2 lt /100km.

Available in 5-door hatchback and estate body styles, the Titanium X Sport models feature 18in alloys, twin chromed exhaust tailpipes and body-colored side skirts. The interior is also themed with sporty red stitching on the leather/alcantara seats, leather steering wheel and gear shift lever while the standard aluminium trim detailing is replaced with piano black inlays. -Continued
