Thefifth-generation Ford Mondeo is asedan manufactured byFord through its joint ventureChangan Ford in China since 2022. It is the replacement for the outgoingfourth-generation Mondeo and theChinese market Taurus. The car is the sedan counterpart of theMondeo Sport crossover, and shares the same platform as the mid-size luxuryLincoln Z. It is also marketed in the Middle East as theFord Taurus.[3][4]
The fifth-generationFord Mondeo was first spied testing inBelgium in June 2021,[5] then again inMichigan,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 theMustang 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 andMustang 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.

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.

As of 2024, the Mondeo is offered with three different powertrains in China, two petrol and one petrol-electric hybrid. Unlike other large discontinued Lincolns and Ford sedan in North America that were all-wheel drive, the Chinese-made Mondeo sedan powertrain wheels only available infront-wheel drive. The base engine is a 1.5 Lturbocharged inline-4 cylinder that makes 140 kW (188 hp; 190 PS) and 258 N⋅m (190 lb⋅ft) of torque. The top engine is Changan Ford'sCAF488WQC 2.0 L turbocharged inline-4 cylinder with an output of 187 kW (251 hp; 254 PS) and 393 N⋅m (290 lb⋅ft) oftorque.
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-kilowatt (129 hp; 131 PS) 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 litres (0.565 cu ft) out of the total 520 litres (18.4 cu ft) 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.
