The 2005 Ford Mondeo is adopting a new look. A number of interior and exterior changes have been made helping Mondeo to remain a strong favourite in the competitive British market.

Coupled with the physical changes is a modification of the series line-up. This includes the incorporation of the Titanium and Titanium X models as regular series alongside the Ghia and Ghia X models due to continued customer demand.

The Titanium X was originally introduced in 2004 as a "limited production" model.

Jon Gunn-Smith, large car brand manager for Ford of Britain, said: "Mondeo has been in the top ten best selling cars in Britain since its launch in 1993. It is currently the second best selling diesel and a firm favourite with both retail and fleet customers.

"We believe these latest changes, the addition of new technology and a new series in Titanium provide customers with an overwhelming choice of value, luxury or performance," he said.

The new Mondeo range offers more choice and better value than ever, designed to appeal to a wide range of customers. Offering four-door saloon, five-door hatchback and estate body styles throughout, the new Mondeo line-up is impressive.

At the top of the Mondeo range there is the ST priced from £22,360 on the road.

While the ST220 with its 226PS three litre Duratec V6 engine has been a favourite of performance motorists, the ST TDCi is promptly following in its footsteps.

Equipped with the 2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi engine, this Mondeo ST generates 155PS at 3,500 rpm.

Maximum torque is 360 Nm at 1,800 rpm with a peak at 400 Nm in overboost.
