As per the news updates the 2013 Ford Mondeo sedan be unveiled soon. The entry of the 1 L Ecoboost engine in this segment has become questionable as the Mondeo rivals Honda Accord and the Skoda Superb and with this it will have the smallest engine in the E segment.

The new Mondeo has the turbocharged engine that produces as high as 120 bhp and 170 Nm of torque despite of being a 3 cylinder car. In addition to it, the 1 L engine is not at a disadvantage to the car as it has an Overboost function that steps up the torque to over 200 Nm. Its just like the Nitro function that will be very helpful in overtaking. For those who wish to have more power, the Mondeo with the 1.6 L and 2 L Ecoboost engine will be there.
