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 focuses on pickup trucks, SUVs, and the Mustang in North America.[4]
The fifth-generation Mondeo is powered by Changan Ford’s CAF488WQC 2.0-litre turbocharged gasoline engine with an output of 238 PS (175 kW; 235 hp) and 376 N⋅m (277 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving the car a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). The middle eastern Taurus makes 232 PS (171 kW; 229 hp) and 388 N⋅m (286 lb⋅ft). The Mondeo uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and is front-wheel drive.[3][7]
Trim levels in China are Fashion, Sport and ST-Line.[8]

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, a 13.2-inch touch screen with an eight-inch digital gauge cluster, and a rear-view camera as standard.[10]
