FORD has introduced a Mondeo featuring satellite navigation with live traffic reports for beating congestion.

Called the Zetec Nav, it features the new Ford Travel Pilot Navigation system, which includes the RDS-TMC traffic information service from ITIS.

The new model is priced from £16,865 – about £375 more than the standard Mondeo Zetec variants – and is available with manual transmission in both five- door and estate bodystyles.

Peter Fleet, Ford of Britain marketing director, said: 'Many business customers are unable to specify options on their car and this can be frustrating. The Zetec Nav is aimed directly at those customers.'
