最近谍照记者在瑞典拍到了福特蒙迪欧改款车照片，该车将于今年底或明年初发布，现行版蒙迪欧是2014年在欧洲上市的。这辆原型车的前后两端都进行了伪装。不过，从其镀铬窗框和车尾双排气尾管与后散流器集成在一起可以判断这是一辆Titanium版本，不过该车并未配备选装的LED自适应大灯，而是标配的普通卤族投射大灯。虽然车尾进行了伪装，但并未完全遮盖住重新设计的尾灯组，它与新的行李箱盖集成在一起，这一点与刚刚发布的0219款Fusion一样。这款车还配备了时速的小型扰流器和更具侵略性散流器。车头的雾灯采用了新的形状，而保险杠底部略微改款。新款蒙迪欧将继续搭载1.5升和2.0升EcoBoost涡轮汽油引擎。而柴油引擎包括1.5升和2.0升TDCI引擎，后者有三种输出功率可供选择。入门级车型功率110千瓦/150马力，更高端版本功率139千瓦/190马力和175千瓦/238马力。预计与引擎搭配的是新的自动变速器，很可能是采用取自现行版锐界的八速自动变速器。该车标配前轮驱动，但可选装全驱系统。
Ford Mondeo Facelift Spied For The First Time In Sweden
No, this is not yet another Ford Fusion refresh. What you are looking at here is its European cousin, the Mondeo, which is due to finally receive a facelift later this year or in Q1 of 2019. The Mondeo was launched on the Old continent in the end of 2014, roughly two years after the Fusion hit the dealerships around the United States, because of its move from the automaker’s Genk plant in Belgium to Valencia, Spain.
Caught by our spy photographers testing in Sweden, the prototype wears camouflage foil on both the front and rear ends. This is a Titanium model, judging by the chrome window trim and the twin exhaust pipes integrated into the rear diffuser, but it’s not equipped with the optional LED adaptive headlights. Instead, it uses the standard conventional halogen projector lamps. The disguise is not able to hide the obvious – the rear end is getting a set of redesigned taillights together with a new trunk lid panel, just like on the recently introduced 2019 Fusion. Depending on the trim level, there’s also a stylish small spoiler and a more aggressive diffuser. Up front, the fog lights will receive a new shape, while the lower part of the bumper will be slightly redesigned.
The revised Mondeo will continue to be offered with 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo gasoline engines in Europe. Diesel options include a 1.5-liter TDCI, as well as the larger 2.0-liter TDCI in three power options. The base variant has 150 horsepower (110 kilowatts), while the more expensive versions will get 190 hp (139 kW) and 238 hp (175 kW) for the biturbo unit.
Nothing is confirmed at this point, but we expect the Mondeo to finally get a new automatic transmission. It is the same eight-speed automatic now available on the Edge, which will replace the aging six-speed auto on the current model. It will channel the power to the front wheels as standard, while optionally available for some engines and trim levels will be an AWD system.
