2019 Ford Mondeo Estate New Hybrid Option
Published Date: 28th Feb 2019
Ford has released details of the revised and improved 2019 Mondeo self-charging Hybrid with the Estate models getting the option of a Hybrid engine for the first time.
With European emissions targets and the ever-increasing demand for hybrids (and to a lesser extent full electric vehicles) Ford are expecting a big swing in sales of Hybrids. Anticipated Mondeo Hybrid sales are expected to account for as much as 50% of all new Mondeos sold across Europe in the next few years.
Along with its traditional EcoBoost petrol and EcoBlue diesel engines (a new 2.0 EcoBlue diesel engine also makes its debut), the all-new 2.0 (184PS) petrol-electric hybrid powertrain with 6-speed automatic transmission promises to deliver a much more refined experience whilst at the same delivering a higher-level of efficiency.
2019 Ford Mondeo Hybrid Specs
The 2.0 petrol-electric powertrain packs 184bhp of power and is equipped with 1.4kWh battery capable of pure electric travel for limited periods at lower speeds.
The battery also benefits from improved technology that Ford claim recoups as much as 90% of energy from braking using its new ‘regenerative braking system’ to help recharge the battery.
A lot of the improvements and refinements in the new Mondeo Hybrids are down to a new and improved software platform that controls the powertrain. The software helps deliver power more efficiently and smoothly, whilst at the same time delivered improved efficiency over the old/outgoing hybrid engine.
Depending on your configuration CO2 emission should be in the region of 103g/km for an estate model or 98g/km for the saloon model but it still packs enough of punch to take you from 0-62mph in little over 9 seconds, which is respectable.
