Ford have released details on the new Mondeo which is first going to be showcased at the Moscow Motor Show in August before going on sale later in 2010. As far as what has changed, the interior and exterior has been improved as well as the fuel consumption and the safety features.

Looks wise, the grille has been updated as well as the front bumper, which now includes LED day time running lights. The rear has also been updated to include LED lights. There are no major changes regarding the interior other than the center console, which includes the satellite navigation.

Under the hood the new Ford Mondeo will feature the higher performance 240 PS 2.0 liter Ford EcoBoost turbo-charged petrol engine. The big drawing point of this engine is that it provides up to 20% better fuel economy and reduces CO2 emissions also by 20% compared to traditional petrol engines around the same capacity.

Also on the list of improvements are some driver assistance features which include: Lane departure warning, Driver alter and Auto high beam. Another new feature added for the first time in the Mondeo is a Blind-Spot Information System, speed limiter and rear view camera.

Expect more details to be released in the next few months.
