Ford Mondeo 2.0TDCi LX Estate Review

Ford launched a class leader in 2000 with the second-generation Ford Mondeo. Spacious and comfortable, the car was also enjoyable to drive. While the diesel engines were a big improvement over the ones in the old model, it wasn't until the introduction of the TDCi engines in November 2001 that they were truly competitive. The estate also has one of the best luggage capacities in its class.

2001 saw the launch of the Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCi which adopted the latest diesel technology. It produces 130bhp and 243lb-ft, and offers an excellent combination of performance, fuel economy and refinement. The original 115bhp 2.0TD ran until 2002 before being replaced by a 115bhp version of the 2.0 TDCi which is a far superior engine. In August 2005 Ford launched a 90bhp version of the 2.0 TDCi, aimed at fleet operators, which although lacking power compared with the 115bhp diesel, doesn't feel much slower on the road. The Mondeo came fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard when launched, but six-speed versions became an option on many models later, while some now come only with a six-speed manual as standard.
