Ford's new adaptive cruise control - which automatically matches the car's speed to that of the vehicle in front - features as an option. So does a tyre pressure monitoring system and Hill Launch Assist, which holds the model briefly on a slope after the driver has taken his foot off the brake.

All cars are well specified as stan*dard, however; air-conditioning, stab*ility control, 'follow-me-home' headlights (which stay on briefly after the engine is turned off), a trip computer and an MP3 socket in the glovebox are all included in the equipment tally.

For the first time, the Mondeo will also come with keyless entry and keyless start (the engine is fired via a dash-mounted 'power' button). Other firsts include Ford's EasyFuel system, with the fuel filler neck designed for petrol or diesel nozzles to prevent misfuelling.
