Double award win for Ford Mondeo
Published Date: 07 February 2012
The Ford Mondeo has picked up two accolades at the What Car?
2012 awards for UK's best family car and the best estate car for
the second consecutive year.
The best family car award went to the Mondeo 1.6 TDCi 115PS
Zetec, with What Car? naming the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140PS Zetec the
best estate, repeating the car's double success at the What Car?
Awards last year and also in 2009.
What Car? editor-in-chief, Chas Hallett said "The Mondeo has
plenty of fresh rivals but it's such a strong package that it picks
up two more awards this year. Ford has worked hard to keep the
Mondeo refreshed and it has succeeded, this is still a great all
round package, either as a hatchback or an estate".
The winning Zetec accounts for 38% of sales in the UK, with
standard spec including 16" alloy wheels, Bluetooth hands-free and
voice control system, cruise control, adjustable speed limiter,
Quick Clear heated windscreen, Leather trimmed steering wheel and

Emergency Brake Assist, electrically operated and heated door
mirrors and Thatcham approved alarm.
Mark Ovenden, Managing Director of Ford of Britain said "Ford is
delighted that Mondeo has once again been recognised as the best
all-rounder. Appealing to family and business executives alike
thanks to it's elegant exterior styling and wealth of technology
feature, it also offers new powerstrains which meet the low-carbon
needs of our customers."
