Variant-by-variant horsepower in the Mk3 Mondeo 2.0 TDCi


Below are representative outputs you might encounter for the 2.0 Duratorq TDCi engine in the Mondeo Mk3. Power figures vary by year, market and specific engine revision. Always check the vehicle’s data plate or service records for the exact figure.



  • 115 PS (about 113 hp): early Mk3 2.0 TDCi variants used in some markets (roughly 2000–2003).

  • 130 PS (about 128 hp): mid-production updates or certain regional specifications (roughly 2003–2005).

These numbers reflect how Ford adjusted the 2.0 TDCi for emissions, turbocharging and torque delivery over the Mk3’s lifecycle, affecting actual on-road performance and fuel economy.


Context: what can affect the horsepower reading


Horsepower figures on an individual Mondeo Mk3 can be influenced by turbocharger configuration, intercooler setup, ECU tuning, exhaust/dp specification, and even regional engine maps mandated by authorities. A car that looks identical on the outside may not deliver the same peak power as another if it belongs to a different production batch or market specification.


How to verify the exact horsepower on a specific car


To confirm the exact figure for a particular Mondeo Mk3 2.0 TDCi, use these steps: check the VIN-derived build data, consult the original window sticker, or review the factory service data for the specific vehicle. Owners forums and regional Ford documentation can also help map VIN ranges to power outputs.


Summary


In practice, the Mondeo Mk3 2.0 TDCi most commonly outputs about 136 horsepower (roughly 134 hp). However, early or region-specific versions may show around 115 hp (≈113 hp) or 130 hp (≈128 hp). For any used car, verify the exact figure via official documentation or the VIN data to avoid assumptions based on appearance alone.
