There are few more iconic cars than the Ford Mustang - and now it’s available from your local Ford dealer in the UK in right-hand drive. The Ford Mustang Fastback might not be the last word in sophistication, but it’s hard to go faster for less money. In fact it’s nearly £20,000 less than the Vauxhall VXR8. You can have your Mustang with a 2.3-litre turbocharged engine, or the 5.0-litre V8 we’ve tested here. Choose the latter and you’ll enjoy BMW M4 levels of performance for the price of a BMW 420d. It’s not cheap to run, but it’s incredible value to buy.
Der Ford Fusion soll in den USA den langjährigen Bestseller Toyota Camry vom Thron stoßen ... und weltweit die Mittelklasse neu ordnen. Wie schon der Focus soll der Fusion - bei uns als Mondeo - ein sogenanntes Weltauto werden
The passenger compartment of the Mondeo remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of theknees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Ford showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of differentsizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequatefor both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier and the more severe side pole tests, protection of all critical body areaswas good and the car scored full points in both of these tests. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protectionagainst whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplashprotection. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds atwhich many whiplash injuries occur
Ford is expanding on-road testing of its third-generation self-driving Fusion Hybrid to Detroit. The vehicles are already deployed in Pittsburgh, Palo Alto, Miami, Washington DC, and Ford’s home turf of Dearborn, Michigan; The Verge’s Andrew Hawkins went for a drive in a previous-gen model last year and found it quite adept at handling a variety of traffic scenarios.
The enhanced Ford Mondeo – with elegant new exterior and interior design details and a new Hybrid Wagon variant for the first time – was revealed at the Brussels Motor Show in Belgium, for delivery from March. The new Mondeo Hybrid is a unique offering in its segment and further significant Mondeo upgrades include: An even more refined petrol-electric driving experience for the fuel-efficient Mondeo Hybrid Ford’s advanced 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine introduced for superior long-distance cruising Ford’s new intelligent eight-speed automatic transmission, which adapts shift patterns to driving style for improved refinement, and is controlled using a stylish and ergonomic rotary gear shift dial Adaptive Cruise Control enhanced with Stop & Go joins Mondeo’s sophisticated suite of driver assistance technologies, for easier driving in motorway and stop-start traffic
