Overview
Fifth generation Ford Mondeo (rear)

The new Ford Mondeo was first spied testing in Belgium in June 2021,[2] then again in Michigan, United States later in October 2021.[3] However, the new Mondeo will be produced and sold exclusively in China as Ford now focuses on SUVs and the Mustang in North America.[4]

It is the sedan derivative of the also China exclusive Evos crossover, and shares the same platform as the mid size luxury Lincoln Zephyr. It will be the replacement of the outgoing Ford Mondeo IV, though it will not be sold in Europe whatsoever.[5]

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 eight speed automatic transmission and is front wheel drive.[5][6]
