Does the car above, posing fancifully in white, look familiar? Well, it should. Although it wears Mondeo (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mondeo/) badges in the form you see above for the Chinese market - as it does in Europe (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/28/2013-ford-mondeo-paris-2012/) - the car is basically the same thing sold in the US as the Ford Fusion (http://autoblog.com/ford/fusion/). Of course, it's what's under that shapely skin that counts.
Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford/) has chosen the Shanghai Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/shanghai-motor-show/) as the venue with which to unveil its 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/11/ford-confirms-1-5-liter-ecoboost-four-cylinder-engine-for-2014-f/). We'd heard about the engine before, but now we have a few performance estimates to share: 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet).
Those numbers pretty much confirm previous rumors indicating about 177 in each category, and it's right on par with what Ford's own 1.6-liter EcoBoost produces. Ford is claiming best-in-class fuel economy as well, but no specific figures have yet been provided. In any case, we'll surely have all the data soon enough, as the 1.5-liter mill is destined for the US Fusion in 2014.
Ford will also offer a 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Chinese Mondeo that puts out 178 kW (239 horsepower) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). All that and more can be found in the press release below (http://www.mnfords.com/2013/04/20/ford-mondeo-with-1-5-liter-ecoboost-shanghai-2013/#continued).Continue reading Ford Mondeo with 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts in China (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/20/ford-mondeo-with-1-5-liter-ecoboost-shanghai-2013/)
