Hi Martin,
Ford is due to update the Mondeo next year, in line with the facelift given to the (all-but identical) Ford Fusion model in the US last year. It won’t be a massive change, but there will be things such as tweaked lights, some new colours and options, the latest SYNC3 infotainment system and some interior upgrades to try and boost the cabin quality.
The 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engine will be upgraded to 140hp, while the 1.5-litre EcoBoost (possibly the best engine option for the Mondeo, overall) will see a boost to 180hp. It’s just possible that Ford may introduce an ST version too, using the 2.7-litre turbocharged V6 engine from the US Fusion.
As for an all new model, that’s probably at least four years away at the moment.
