First drive: Ford Mondeo 1.6 EcoBoost and 1.6 TDCi

The trend of offering smaller but more powerful engines is continuing at Ford with the introduction of 1.6-litre diesel and petrol engines with auto-start-stop as standard, for its fleet and family favourite, the Mondeo.

The new 1.6-litre 113bhp TDCi diesel boasts a low 114g/km CO2 figure, which is a 30 per cent reduction over the top-selling 138bhp 2.0-litre TDCi.
