The Ford Mondeo (fifth generation) is a mid-size sedan manufactured by Ford through its joint venture Changan Ford in China since 2022.

Overview[]

The new Ford Mondeo was first spied testing in Belgium in June 2021,[2] then again in Michigan, United States later in October.[3] However, the new Mondeo will be produced and sold exclusively in China as Ford focuses on SUVs and the Mustang in North America.[4] It is a sedan derivative of the also China-exclusive Evos crossover and shares the same platform as the mid-size luxury Lincoln Zephyr. It will be a replacement of the outgoing fourth-generation Ford Mondeo.[5]

Specifications[]

The fifth-generation Mondeo is powered by Changan Ford's CAF488WQC 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an output of 238 hp (177 kW; 241 PS) and 376 N⋅m (277 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving the car a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). The Mondeo uses an 8-speed automatic transmission and is front-wheel drive.[5][6]
