The Ford Mondeo may no longer be sold in places like Europe, but the sedan is alive and well in China – along with the Mondeo Sport crossover. In fact, both of those models are gaining some updates for the new model year, including the addition of new hybrid powertrains for the new year. However, while we knew that the Ford Mondeo and Mondeo Sport were gaining hybrid powertrains, the automaker hadn’t yet released any details on those updates offerings – until now, that is.
Both the new hybrid Ford Mondeo and Mondeo Sport were on display at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, where FoMoCo was touting the fact that unlike a PHEV or EV, customers don’t have to plug in those vehicles to experience the benefits of electrification. The Ford Mondeo hybrid utilizes the turbocharged 1.5L EcoBoost gas engine paired with an electric motor to deliver fuel consumption of three liters (0.79 gallons) per 100 kilometers (62 miles), along with a max driving range of 1,051 kilometers (653 miles).
As for the all-new Ford Mondeo Sport hybrid, it features a bit more space and a higher ride height as a five-door crossover “coupe,” with a ground clearance of 168mm when fully loaded.The Mondeo Sport touts a wheelbase of 2,945mm, and more cargo space – up to 1,550 liters. The Ford Mondeo Sport hybrid generates a combined total of 308 horsepower, with fuel consumption as low as 4.1 liters per 100 kilometers, with a total range of up to 915 kilometers (569 miles), which Ford claims is best in class.
The Chinese Ford Mondeo originally debuted in China in January 2022 as an all-new mid-size sedan that’s built by Changan Ford – a 50:50 joint venture between Ford and Changan Auto. As for the Mondeo Sport, it originally launched as the Evos in China, but the automaker wound up ditching that name earlier this year, though it didn’t undergo too many other changes as part of that rebrand.

Great looing car. Reminds me of the Fusion. Bring it to the states.
This Mondeo (the sedan of course), is a car I would buy. The crossover is another boring atrocity from Ford. Not evertbody like SUV´s or crossovers or is willing to buy one no matter what.
Just restart the assembly of the Ford Fusion Hybrid which is the American twin of the Mondeo.
The Chinese Mondeo looks like a more attractive Hyundai or Kia.
One the best looking sedan we do not get. What is interesting the CEO of Ford is driving around in a chinese sedan praising it driving characteristics while not even offer a sedan in the USA. Ford needs a sedan in the the us market bring the Fusion and MKZ back. On the Licncoln give it sucide doors and it would sell like hotcakes. Make it look like a modern 65 Continental which is the hottest old luxury car that everone wants today.
Ford you need to stop being stupid. Like dropping the Edge and the Fusion. Bring them both back. You’re going to be sitting on a lot of electric inventory you can’t sell.
Best ford mondeo on the road get it back into production
FORD please bring the mondeo back to England, I have owned 6 from new please.let me make it 7.
We need those cars in Britain and Europe. The Mondeo has been one of the best cars on British roads, popular as company cars and family cars. I’ve had them from MK1 to Mk4 and loved every one.
Always loved my Mondeo Estates. Sorry Ford have decided to stop Uk production. Maybe they should allow orders of Mondeos from China to be imported to uk
