Ford has unveiled the production version of the Ford Vignale Mondeo - the first vehicle to be introduced as part of Ford's new Vignale brand.

Each Ford Vignale model is hand-finished in a special Vignale Centre at Ford's manufacturing facility in Valencia, Spain.

Available in four-door and estate bodystyles, the Ford Vignale Mondeo includes Ford's Active Noise Cancellation technology, quilted and tuxedo-stitched leather interior and exclusive Vignale Nocciola metallic paint colour.

The Ford Vignale Mondeo will be available to order from May at new flagship Ford Stores opening across the UK, priced from £29,045

Engines include Ford's new 210PS Bi-turbo 2.0-litre TDCi diesel,  240PS EcoBoost petrol, and 187PS petrol-electric hybrid. Ford's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (iAWD) which automatically enhances traction and road-holding, is also available.

Vignale customers will also receive a personalised service for the duration of their vehicle ownership, supported by a Vignale relationship manager and 24-hour free-phone assistance from the Vignale OneCall service.

"Ford Vignale is the highest expression of the Ford brand in Europe, bringing together award-winning design with a unique ownership experience," said Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president and president, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

"Our vision for Vignale is to create a modern, contemporary upscale experience that makes Vignale a valued part of customers' lives, starting with the Ford Vignale Mondeo, and later this year with introduction of the Ford Vignale S‑MAX."

The pictured Vignale Nocciola colour is exclusive to the car, with further options including Vignale Black, Vignale Silver and premium four-coat Vignale White.

Ford's new Vignale Service smartphone app will support customers with GPS-enabled services including Vignale Park Me, which allows drivers to record an exact location and time elapsed since parking their vehicle. Using online map data, the app can also help drivers locate fuel stations, and provides a one-touch connection with emergency services or Vignale OneCall.

Each Ford Vignale model is hand-finished by six master craftspeople at the new state-of-the-art Vignale Centre, where vehicles are individually tailored to customer specification.

Every Ford Vignale customer will be supported by a dedicated Vignale relationship manager to ensure a personalised service tailored to individual needs, from the first appointment at the FordStore and throughout the ownership experience. Specially-trained Vignale staff will be available to meet specific customer needs.
