The fifth-generation Ford Mondeo is a sedan manufactured by Ford through its joint venture Changan Ford in China since 2022. It is the replacement for the outgoing fourth-generation Mondeo and the Chinese market Taurus. The car is the sedan counterpart of the Evos crossover, and shares the same platform as the mid-size luxury Lincoln Z. It is also marketed in the Middle East as the Ford Taurus.[3][4]

Overview

The fifth-generation Ford Mondeo was first spied testing in Belgium in June 2021,[5] then again in Michigan, United States later in October 2021.[6] It is exclusively produced and sold in China, as Ford now exclusively focuses on pickup trucks, SUVs, Vans, and the Mustang in North American markets.[4][3][7]

The Mondeo features updated exterior styling that fits in with the contemporary Ford lineup, including the Evos crossover. The LED headlights now have a lightbar styling feature, and the grille has a 'breathing' feature in which the elements slowly oscillate for visual effect along with patterns displayed by the lightbar LED strip. Some models come with a black painted roof, which is also available with a dual panel panoramic sunroof. The rear features a fastback design and Mustang inspired LED taillights.

The interior features an assortment of screens on the dashboard. Lower end models come with an 8-inch digital gauge cluster along with a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system running SYNC 4 with climate controls integrated. Higher end models come with a 13.2-inch gauge cluster and a 27-inch 4K touchscreen that spans the dashboard. Physical button controls are limited to the steering wheel, lighting controls, a volume scroll wheel and limited shortcut buttons. A rotary knob is used to select transmission gear, with an electronic parking brake toggle located underneath.

Markets

China

In 2022, the Mondeo launched with only the 2.0 L Ecoboost 245 engine available, with the Fashion, Sport, and ST-Line trims.

In 2024, the Mondeo is available in 6 trim levels. The Fashion and Comfort trims are only available with the base 1.5 L Ecoboost 180 engine, while the Deluxe and Extreme trims can optionally upgrade to the 2.0 L Ecoboost 245 engine. The Luxury trim comes exclusively with the 1.5 L E Hybrid powertrain, and the range-topping ST-Line is available with either Ecoboost 245 or E Hybrid powertrains.[8]

GCC

Ford Taurus Titanium (GCC)

The fifth-generation Mondeo is marketed in GCC countries as the Ford Taurus, replacing the Chinese-sourced Taurus which itself replaced the Fusion and the sixth-generation Taurus models.[9] Three trim levels are available, the Ambiente, Trend, and Titanium.

All models include six airbags, come exclusively with the 13.2-inch touch screen with an eight-inch digital gauge cluster, and a rear-view camera as standard.[10]

Powertrain

As of 2024, the Mondeo is offered with three different powertrains in China, two petrol and one petrol-electric hybrid, all of which are front-wheel drive. The base engine is a 1.5 L turbocharged inline-4 cylinder that makes 140 kW (190 hp; 190 PS) and 258 N⋅m (190 lb⋅ft) of torque. The top engine is Changan Ford’s CAF488WQC 2.0 L turbocharged inline-4 cylinder with an output of 187 kW (251 hp; 254 PS) and 393 N⋅m (290 lb⋅ft) of torque.

The Middle East Taurus makes 238 hp (177 kW; 241 PS) and 382 N⋅m (282 lb⋅ft). Both are petrol only engines, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The final available powertrain is a hybrid version of the 1.5 L engine which is paired with a 96 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, which makes a peak combined output of 153 kW (205 hp; 208 PS). The hybrid's 60-cell lithium-ion battery occupies 16 L (4.2 US gal) out of the total 520 L (140 US gal) of trunk space. It is paired with a planetary eCVT gearbox, and achieves about 33% lower fuel consumption than the standard 1.5 L engine.
