Ford Mondeo ST-Line
Ford has announced that it is adding the Ford Mondeo to its recently-unveiled ST-Line lineup. The Ford Mondeo ST-Line made its world premiere last month at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed, joining the Fiesta ST-Line and Focus ST-Line that were on display.
“The new Mondeo ST-Line is our sportiest Mondeo since we introduced the Mondeo ST220 model in 2002,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales, and Service, Ford of Europe. “Mondeo ST-Line adds another dimension to the broad Mondeo line-up that offers options from the fuel-efficient Mondeo ECOnetic and Mondeo Hybrid models, to the exclusive and upscale Mondeo Vignale.”
