Ford’s European division has announced a new 2.0 litre EcoBoost gasoline engine along with upgraded 2.0 litre Duratorq diesel engines for the Mondeo mid-sized sedan.
The turbocharged EcoBoost 4-potter with direct injection makes 203hp at 5,500 rpm and 300Nm of torque between 1,750 rpm and 4,500 rpm. This model is offered standard with Ford’s 6-speed PowerShift dual-clutch transmission.
The Mondeo would take 7.9 seconds to hit 100 km/h and can offer a top speed of 232 km/h. Combined fuel consumption is figured at 7.7 litres per 100 kilometers which sounds pretty good. The 2.0 litre Duratorq diesel engine has been upgraded to match higher emissions standard and is offered in three forms including 115hp, 140hp as well as a 163hp version.
Us Malaysians get the 2.3 litre Duratec HE petrol engine which produces 159hp at 6,500 rpm and 208Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. It would be nice if we can have the EcoBoost unit mentioned above as the Mondeo could use more power. The Duratec does its job well but more kick is always better.
A diesel Mondeo would be nice as well. I had a go in the Focus TDCi recently and its a cracking drive! A 140hp 2.0 litre Duratorq for the Mondeo perhaps?

we need this here.
common one…
yaa agree!
what about proton waja replacement?
and diesel engine from proton?
we are still waiting, since years!
I’ve been asking this same question over and over again, no answer
I wonder the DCT in Mondeo come with wet clutch…
Turbo.. it just so sweet from the manufacturer.. erm.. 300Nm of torque between 1,750 rpm and 4,500 rpm is just too good to be true here…
please bring it to malaysia…i want 1
Turbo diesel engines are the future. It’s about time M’sia start catching up.
Please Ford M’sia. Bring in the new 140hp turbo diesel Mondeo. Pretty please, with sugar on top.
Though, my guess is they will wait till our diesel is Euro4 quality (eta 2011).
I think many European car manufacturers are waiting for Euro4 diesel quality before deciding bringing in diesel models. Currently available models are detuned to accept our Euro2 diesel.
or maybe that turbo project on campro was a tortoise project???
huh????
P1 campro turbo is a petrol engine.
It’s apples & oranges comparison with the Euro4 direct injection turbo diesel engines that we’re discussing here.
here in türkey is 60% of all sales diesel engined!
but proton has no diesel, so they sell in a year only 700cars,
hyundai sells in a year more than 25000 cars, because they have in all models diesel!
proton is now on winter sleep.
I don’t think so. Most of the European marque have diesel engine variant dare not to mention the engine is compliant to latest Euro emission standards.
The emission standards for most of the diesel engines available in Malaysia are limited to Euro 3 standard, due to the high content of sulphur in diesel fuel.
what will happen to the 5-cylinder Mondeo?
