What is the fuel mileage of Ford Mondeo?
The fuel mileage of the Ford Mondeo varies by engine, model year and market. In modern European-spec Mondeos, diesel variants typically return about 4.0–4.8 L/100 km, while petrol variants usually run around 6.5–7.5 L/100 km in combined WLTP testing. Converted roughly, that corresponds to about 49–57 mpg (US) or 60–70 mpg (UK imperial) for diesels, and roughly 31–36 mpg (US) or 42–46 mpg (UK) for petrols. Exact figures depend on the specific engine, transmission, and wheel choice.
The Mondeo has been sold mainly in Europe and parts of Asia; it is not generally sold in the United States under the Mondeo name. When evaluating fuel mileage, always refer to the exact model year and engine option on Ford's official spec sheets or trusted databases, as testing cycles and numbers change with updates.
Engine options and typical fuel economy
Below are representative figures for common Mondeo engines based on WLTP testing. Values vary by trim level, drivetrain, tires, and date of manufacture, so consult the exact spec for your car.
- Diesel engines (e.g., 2.0 EcoBlue): about 4.0–4.8 L/100 km (WLTP) — roughly 49–57 mpg (US) or 60–70 mpg (UK).
- Petrol engines (e.g., 1.5 EcoBoost or 2.0 EcoBoost): about 6.5–7.5 L/100 km (WLTP) — roughly 31–36 mpg (US) or 42–46 mpg (UK).
Actual numbers for your exact car will depend on the engine, gearbox, and options chosen, so verify the official spec for your year and market.
Other considerations and regional differences
In the United States, Ford sold a different model lineup and the Mondeo name is not commonly used, so fuel economy figures are not directly comparable to US-market vehicles. In Europe and many other regions, WLTP figures are typically cited. Earlier models used the NEDC testing cycle, which generally reported higher fuel economy than WLTP. Real-world mileage may vary with driving style, load, and road conditions.
Tips to maximize fuel economy
Simple practices can help you get closer to the official numbers:
- Maintain proper tire pressure and alignment; under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance.
- Drive at steady speeds; use cruise control on long, straight highways when appropriate.
- Lighten the load and remove roof racks when not in use.
- Follow the manufacturer's service schedule; keep engine tuned and use the recommended spark plugs and fluids.
- Plan routes to minimize idling in traffic; consider driving modes that optimize efficiency if available.
Note that real-world fuel mileage will vary from the numbers cited due to driving conditions and maintenance. Always check the exact spec for your Mondeo's year, engine, and transmission.
Summary
The Ford Mondeo's fuel mileage is engine- and year-dependent. In modern European models, diesel variants generally deliver around 4.0–4.8 L/100 km, while petrol engines typically achieve around 6.5–7.5 L/100 km under WLTP. Translated to mpg, diesels often fall in the high 40s to mid-50s (US) or roughly 60–70 mpg (UK), and petrols in the low 30s to mid-30s (US) or around 40–46 mpg (UK). Always consult the exact specification for your vehicle and consider real-world factors that affect efficiency.
