Ford Mondeo 2009 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The redesigned-for-2008 Mondeo is an attractive midsize car built in Europe that shares a Mazda platform. It looks excellent inside and out, but loses out to the Japanese with a weak combination of carryover engines, along with the stigma of expensive dealer maintenance charges. It was facelifted a bit for 2011, with a new front bumper and grille. The Mondeo is largely avaliable as a family sedan, but it is also available in sporty liftback and practical wagon form in some markets. The Mondeo is a tremendous success in Europe though, simply because its handling is outstanding, rivalling more expensive cars like Alfa Romeo, all for an affordable price. The interior is especially attractive and put together well. The base Mondeo is powered by the 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine, available with a 5-speed manual. A 2.3-litre 4-cylinder engine is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission in the higher model. Various trim levels are available, all with power windows, trip computer, ABS brakes, front airbags, CD stereo with MP3 connector and more. Options include stability control, CD changer, keyless starter button, Xenon adaptive headlights, tyre pressure monitor, sunroof, fog lights, variable suspension settings, hill launch assist and adaptive cruise control.
