Mondeo in Moscow

In late March I went have a look at the new Ford Mondeo (fourth-gen Mondeo / Mondeo Mk V) Saturday - local Ford dealer was throwing a party aka presentation.

Here are some cheap camera pics.

Test drive unit.




It was taken on a test drive quite soon.


A view on the passenger compartment through the front passenger window.


The rear end... some complain it looks too much like that of the Ford Focus III sedan.




Mondeo, the exterior.


The boot.


I thought it looked big, especially length-wise.



The Mondeo sedans are (will be) made in Russia, and one of the localized features is they are raised a bit -- 200 mm under the front bumper to make dacha driving and close curb parking easier.



Back light.


Free food, drinks and coffee for those attending the presentation.



Motor compartment.








Infotainment system - Nav touch screen by Sony.



Glove box.


More boot space.


Looking from the back row of seats.




In a word, I liked it well enough.

Given half a chance, I'd own it -- it'll make a nice city-home-to-dacha highway cruiser but probably be a bit cumbersome in close-packed yards of Moscow apartment blocks.
