Ford Mondeo (II Hatchback). With 280 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~10.2 l/100km). With a weight of 1498 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 12.5 s). The top speed reaches 192 km/h. A compact car with a rear door that swings upward to provide access to the cargo area. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
