Ford Australia has today announced the manufacturer's list pricing for its revised MC series Mondeo, which has landed in showrooms this week.

The new-look Mondeo has been bequeathed with a redesigned front bumper section, which now incorporates LED daytime running lights, a slightly narrower grille, larger frontal air intakes and a mildly modified bonnet. The rear end now gets LED tail lights too.

Ford hasn't made major revisions to the interior of the updated Mondeo, but changes to the car's centre console, interior materials and interior lighting (the word 'ambient' was used several times in the company's press material) have made the cut. Powertrain options remain unchanged.

Mondeo LX and Zetec variants will be first to arrive, with Titanium hatch and wagon models to follow next month and January 2011 respectively. The sporty Ford Mondeo XR5 Turbo (hatch) and all sedan variants were discontinued with the previous MB series and are now available in limited supply only.
