First New Mondeo Pictures

Ford has released the first images of the all-new Mondeo ahead of its world debut at Geneva Motor Show.

The latest model, already seen in James Bond movie Casino Royale, is designed to 'raise customers' expectations'.

During its life, the Mondeo has appeared every year in the nation's top ten favourite cars.

A total of over four million Mondeo models have been built at the Genk plant since launch in 1993 with more than 1.5 million of those being sold in the UK.

"The exciting new Mondeo is very important to us", said Roelant de Waard, Ford of Britain's Chairman and Managing Director.

"It's probably the most elegant car we've ever launched, and it's certainly the most technologically-advanced."
