LONDON – The Ford Mondeo picked up two accolades at the What Car? 2012 awards earlier this week, being declared both the UK's best family car and the best estate car for the second consecutive year.

 

The best family car award went to the Mondeo 1.6 TDCi 115PS Zetec, with What Car? naming the Mondeo 2.0 TDCi 140PS Zetec the best estate – repeating the car's double success at the What Car? Awards last year and also in 2009.

 

What Car? editor-in-chief, Chas Hallett, said:  "The Ford Mondeo has plenty of fresh rivals, but it’s such a strong package that it picks up two more awards this year, for best estate car and top family car. Ford has worked hard to keep the Mondeo refreshed and it has succeeded; this is still a great all-round package, either as a hatchback or an estate."
