Ford has launched a new edition of the Mondeo, the Edge.

On-the-road from £14,995, Mondeo Edge is available in five-door and estate bodystyles and with a choice of two petrol and three common rail diesel engines including the 2.2-litre 155PS TDCi diesel engine.

Based on a Mondeo LX, Mondeo Edge's standard specification includes air-conditioning, rain-sensing wipers, auto-lighting, park-assist rear parking sensors, a driver's seat with electric height adjustment, a leather steering wheel and CD audio system with MP3 connectivity.

There is a £500 premium for an increase in engine power, for example 1.8-litre to 2.0-litre; a £1,000 increase from petrol to diesel engines and a £1,000 increase between five-door and estate bodystyles.

Five new colours have also been added to the entire Mondeo line up; Kelp, Sea Grey, Tango Red, Blue Ambition and White Grape.
