Ford launched the fourth generation of the Mondeo in 2006 and, four years later, it introduced the facelifted version for it.
Like its predecessors, the Mondeo was available with three body shapes: a three-box sedan, hatchback, and station wagon. Ford considered that this must be the best recipe for its mid-size European vehicle, and it didn’t need to increase or decrease these versions. After a successful launch in 2006, the fourth generation of the Mondeo went through a mid-life cycle refresh in 2010.

Ford followed the kinetic design update trend on the Mondeo, with a revamp of the front fascia, which included a wider lower grille and side-scoops. Its hood received further modifications due to the slimmer upper grille. A set of LED daytime running lights enhanced the vehicle’s front view, giving it a sporty premium look. From the sides, the chromed rims around the window lines emphasized the big glass area. In the rear, the Mondeo featured LED taillights. Depending on the trim level, the Mondeo hatchback featured a small lid-spoiler. This body version was the shortest among its siblings.

Inside, the facelifted mid-size sedan featured new materials and LED lighting. The material’s quality was improved. But the most significant upgrades were for the infotainment and safety features. Its new Sony sound system offered a dynamic sound processor and up to 10 speakers, and a 17-liter subwoofer in the trunk.

Another important upgrade was under the hood, where Ford offered a choice of diesel and gasoline engines. Power ranged between a 116 hp diesel unit and a 240 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline.
