2013-2016 Ford Fusion, Edge & Mondeo Get Clean Cabin Air with K&N Cabin Air Filter
- Jul 19, 2016
Three families of 2013-2016 Ford passenger cars and multi-purpose vehicles (also called SAV, "sports activity vehicles") in Europe, South America, Australia, the Middle East, Asia, and North America can now get an upgraded interior environment with the same K&N replacement cabin air filter.
1) Sedans: The second-generation redesigned mid-size sedan/saloon Fusion, its luxury siblings Lincoln MKX and MKZ (Z stands for "Zephyr"), and European cousin Mondeo V all share the CD4 platform intended to exemplify Ford's global car strategy, and were introduced in 2012 for 2013. The Fusion and Lincoln are available on several continents; Mondeo is European-only. They are nicely turned-out passenger vehicles, delivering their people safely, in comfort and style. The revived Zephyr and Galaxy names hark back to distinctive Ford/Mercury vehicles of a previous century. The Zephyr was originally a Mercury division coupe, sedan, and station wagon during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Galaxy was spelled Galaxie and that script graced the rear quarter panel of a top-of-the-range, chrome-trimmed cruiser of the 1950s and 1960s. It's interesting to learn and observe that neither resemble today's namesakes.
2) MPV/SAV: The seven-passenger S-Max and Galaxy MPVs are improvements on and enlargements of already popular vehicles, with longer wheelbases, greater overall height, more interior space, and sportier handling. The S-Max, the performance-oriented iteration, was European Car of the Year for 2007 and for 2015 has improved suspension elements for even better handling. It is the first to wear Ford's Kinetic Design styling (trapezoidal grille, angular headlights, wheel arches). The Galaxy, the larger MPV of this family, has three-row seating (two rows fold flat) and some elements of the kinetic design format. It is a favorite among mini-cab companies as a fleet vehicle. Both are sold in Europe only. 3) SUV Crossover: The second-generation Edge was all-new in 2015 with a new grille, new headlights, LED combination taillights, increased interior room, and a rear-view camera. Ford's EcoBoost engine is now its standard power plant, and this 2.0-liter gets a new turbo to improve low-end torque and enable a towing capacity of up to 3500 pounds. A five-passenger midsize, it fits its niche and delivers greater refinement than a compact SUV without the bulk of a full-size. Edges are sold in North America, Europe, and China. All of these upgraded Ford vehicles are true people-movers that need clean, free-flowing cabin air for driver and passenger health and comfort. They will be racking up thousands of miles in their lifetimes and transporting hundreds of humans who will spend dozens of hours inside them. The best route to an optimal driving experience is with a superior cabin air filter, such as the K&N VF2050 that fits all Ford Mondeo V, Galaxy III, Fusion, S-Max, Edge, and Lincoln MKX and MKZ cars for 2013-2016. A clogged or dirty cabin air filter is often the source of stale odors, dust, and pathogens that reach passengers, plus it can reduce airflow into the HVAC system, possibly damaging the heating, cooling, and air circulation components. To protect the system, the K&N filter is generous-sized and rectangular, and handles a hefty flow of air. Many owners may already be aware of the benefits of performing regular cabin air filter replacements, and they now have the option of using this easily washable and reusable filter from K&N. Designed to grab and hold a range of particulate matter, spores, pollen, and various pathogens, the VF2050 is constructed of a special electrostatically charged synthetic material and pleated to offer a greater surface area for increased airflow. The media is designed and constructed to be washed and reused over the lifetime of the car. Use the K&N cabin filter cleaning care kit's cleaner spray to loosen dirt and other particles, rinse with water, air dry, then spray with refresher spray, and replace. The VF2050 was designed as a direct replacement for stock filters in these One Ford world cars. It is housed in a sturdy, molded, polyurethane frame for a precise fit into the factory cabin air filter box and requires no special tools to install. The suggested service interval for this filter is about every 12,000 to 15,000 miles depending on driving conditions. K&N replacement cabin air filters are backed by a 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty so owners can be confident that their filters will provide years of clean cabin air. Millions of vehicle owners have trusted their engines to K&N engine air filters for decades. K&N applies the same high standards of design, production and performance to its replacement washable cabin air filters, so everyone aboard these Ford sedans, MPV/SAV, and SUV crossovers will breathe easier.
