Default Self leveling rear suspension

Do the current Mondeo wagons have it ?

Cant find it listed anywhere on the Ford NZ website...

Given that my 05 has it I would expect the current model would also.

Thanks for that, the specifications page wasn't working for me on the AU site.

I can now see it, but one difference I see is NZ models have manual leveling headlights which you dont normally have with self leveling suspension.

NZ models also weigh anyway between 170kg & 230 kg more than the AU ones

Anyway if it doesn't have SLS it gets cut from the list.

A full size spare?

The NZ numbers look wrong.
