Tester's Notes:
This road test has been carried out using Mobil Engine Oils for optimum protection and performance.

The name signifies the styling aspects of the vehicle very well as it is in ways a fusion of the hatchback with the SUV . Design allows for specious and comfortable interiors without making the vehicle look ungainly . New powerplant belongs to the latest generation of petrol engines at Ford and seen first in India on the Mndeo . Fifteen-inch wheels allow the car a lot of liberties on Indian roads and make for very good ground clearance . Interiors are classy and a lot of things seem to be hand me downs from the Mondeo and not hand me ups from the Ikon . Removable rear centre armrest console a first in India.
