2026 Ford Mondeo lives in China with 2.0T, 192 kW 408 N·m, starts 21,200 USD
On December 4, 2025, the Ford Mondeo was launched in China under the Changan Ford brand, with six trim levels priced from 149,800 yuan to 199,800 yuan (approximately 21,200 USD to 28,300 USD). The model offers an upgraded cabin system and multiple powertrain options, competing in China’s mid‑size sedan segment alongside the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
The exterior retains the 2025 model’s overall silhouette while updating several styling elements. The front fascia features an octagonal grille with a chrome matrix pattern, and the previous split‑headlight layout has been replaced by integrated headlights incorporating triple‑segment daytime running lights. The rear continues to use a through‑taillight bar, but the taillight elements have been reworked, and the previous silver-chrome trim on the bumper has been replaced with a black finish. Body dimensions remain 4935 mm in length, 1875 mm in width, and 1500 mm in height, with a 2945 mm wheelbase. Wheel options include 17‑, 18‑, and 19‑inch rims, with top trims featuring 19‑inch wheels and 235/45 R19 tyres.
Inside, the central control layout retains a unified screen, while the dashboard and centre console have been adjusted. The front passenger‑side instrument panel is redesigned in a floating style. Below the air vents, physical rotary controls and shortcut buttons are added. A wireless charging pad is included, and a rotary shifter, with open cup holders, replaces the traditional gear lever. The cabin is equipped with the SYNC+ connectivity system, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, supporting Apple CarPlay, quick‑start technology, and a 540‑degree surround-view camera.
Powertrain options include a 1.5T turbocharged engine offered in two output levels (140 kW and 144 kW with 263 N·m torque), a 2.0T turbocharged engine rated at 192 kW and 408 N·m, or a 1.5T hybrid powertrain pairing a 140 kW engine with a 96 kW motor and an E‑CVT gearbox. All non‑hybrid variants are paired with an 8‑speed automatic transmission.
Trim options range from base models with 17‑inch wheels, cloth seats, and LED front lights to higher trims with 19‑inch wheels, larger displays, driver-assistance systems, and upgraded seat materials. This range of powertrains and trim levels maintains the Mondeo’s position in China’s mid‑size sedan segment while providing options for different consumer preferences.
