Unlike the predecessor model that was offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, the China-only Mondeo is powered by a sole turbocharged 2.0-litre EcoBoost 245 4-cylinder petrol that does 238 PS and 376 Nm.
The only transmission option is an 8-speed automatic that routes power to the front wheels.
In terms of design, the all-new Mondeo drops the predecessor models’ Astron Martin-inspired front grille, opting for a more aggressive, angular design approach with a large grille and slim LED headlights.
The all-new Mondeo’s muscularity continues towards the side profile, as the shoulder lines are considerably more prominent than ever before. The angular theme is continued to the rear: there’s blocky LED tail lights and massive diffuser piece below. Eye-catching, the all-new Mondeo certainly is.
If the Mondeo’s exterior design doesn’t wow you, perhaps the interior can. Sitting centre stage is a massive 1.1-meter long digital display that incorporates both the instrument cluster and infotainment display.
Audio is taken care of by a 10-speaker B&O sound system, with ambient lighting adding a more sophisticated touch to the already-luxurious cabin.
The all-new Ford Mondeo is also properly safe, offering Ford’s latest Co-Pilot 360 ADAS suite.
Changan Ford also previewed an ST-Line version of the Mondeo, which gets draped in a gorgeous shade of red. The chrome trim bits of the regular Mondeo are also swapped out for black ones, giving the Mondeo ST-Line a more aggressive look.
Prices of the China-only Ford Mondeo will be revealed when the model goes on sale later this year.
