Ford MC Mondeo EcoBoost Pricing

[russellw]

Melbourne, Australia, 06 June, 2011

Ford Australia today announced Manufacturer's List Pricing for the latest additions to the MC Mondeo range, which will be powered by the Ford Motor Company's patented high-efficiency EcoBoost engine technology.
Mondeo will spearhead the local launch of this new generation, high-performance yet fuel-saving engine technology, which uses direct injection and turbocharging to deliver more power and performance from a lower displacement power-plant, while still delivering impressive fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.
“Our new family of Ford EcoBoost petrol engines, which are being rolled out around the globe, represent a key element of Ford Motor Company's global 'Blueprint for Sustainability',” Bob Graziano, President & CEO, Ford Australia said.
“We believe that these engines will provide customers with a genuinely attractive alternative to diesel or hybrid power units, delivering highly competitive fuel economy and cost-of-ownership, along with the responsive performance and wide rev range that have made petrol engines the favoured choice for so many drivers.”
On sale in July, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine will be available on Mondeo Zetec and Titanium hatch models, replacing the previous 2.3-litre Duratec petrol engine.

Well based on the CarAdvice article http://www.caradvice.com.au/121983/2...ices-revealed/

The fuel economy is not as impressive as I thought it would be, 8.0ltr/100km, this is considering the Mondeo is lighter than the Falcon, has less power than what the new Falcon will probably have, uses a front wheel drive configuration, and is probably more aerodynamic and has skinnier tyres … hmmm makes me suspicious about the economy figures Ford was claiming for the EcoBoost Falcon before. it’s also interesting to note that the Falcons fuel consumption has been revised to 9.0ltr/100km in this article.

What are the differences between the two 6 speed auto boxes?

[prydey]

looks like it comes at about a $2000 premium over the existing petrol engine, but still about $2000 under the diesel.

i wonder if this gives and indication as to how they'll price the ecoboost falcon. it would seem it will be dearer than the I6.

The Powershift auto isn't technically a traditional auto, it's a dual clutch DSG gearbox.

I think you have your answer:

The EcoBoost engine and new transmission add $1500 to the price of the Zetec and Titanium models. The specifications of both cars otherwise remain the same. Prices of all other models in the 2011 MC Mondeo range are unchanged.

The pricing of the Mondeo EcoBoost models gives us an indication of what to expect when Ford launches the Falcon EcoBoost in the first quarter of 2012.

It appears Ford Australia is unlikely to charge a significant premium for the new engine technology, suggesting the four-cylinder Falcon will be priced reasonably compared with the current inline-six, which starts from $40,290 in XT specification.

And nobody pays $40,249 for an XT.....
Heck, they won't even pay $34,990 drive away for an XR6....

From, DRIVE, June 6.....A spokesman from Ford Australia said the company may consider an EcoBoost wagon in the future, but said that diesel is the key powertrain for the wagon variant.
