A Review Of Ford’s New 2011 Mondeo Hatchback
Posted by Harry Johnson in Uncategorized, tags: all, any, autos, cars, motoring, motors, uncategorised, Uncategorized, vehiclesThe brand new 2011 Ford Mondeo was released to critical acclaim and has been subjected to a plethora of new safety features. New Mondeo’s now come equipped with driver alert, a pioneering new technology that is activated once the car reaches 40mph and remains in effect until the cars speed drops under 37mph. Driver alert actually monitors the vehicles lane alignment in order to analyse driver fatigue which is know to be a major cause of RTA’s. Should the cars lane alignment pattern become erratic, the driver will alerted that he or she needs to rest.
In order to be able to observe the position of the car, the driver alert unit relies on an internally mounted camera located behind the rear view mirror, and a range of sensors. Information is passed to a central control unit which analyses the data, and drivers can even examine the data using the vehicles on board computer.
Adaptive cruise control is also supplied with the new Mondeo, this radar based technology allows the driver to preset a minimum distance into the vehicles on board computer, and when activated, adaptive cruise control will actually engage brakes and decrease throttle to ensure that the minimum safe distance is maintained.
Collission mitigation braking employs the same radar equipment used by adaptive cruise control to add a further layer of safety. The system can detect an imminent crash and can even assist the driver by aiding braking force.
Redesign for the new 2011 model has been discerningly done, and the Mondeo’s already smooth lines are now more pronounced. The new design borrows heavily on the “kinetic” design of the Ford Focus, with the new interior featuring a flow through dash and stunning attention to detail. The overall quality of both materials and craftmanship is far superior to earlier models, making the 2011 Mondeo really quite sophisticated and stylish.
The new Mondeo is available from 17′695 on the road, while this is for the very basic entry model. Car leasing rates for these cars are as always be very affordable. Mondeo’s are know to devalue very slowly in the first few years, and as leasing prices are based on the devaluation of the vehicle within the lease term, a reasonable specification 2011 Mondeo can be had for around 245 per month, though you can expect to pay slightly more if want optional extras.
