Fifth-generation Ford Mondeo arrives at dealers in China:
A decade ago, the second-generation Ford Fusion debuted at the North American International Auto Show to great fanfare. The sharp-looking sedan turned out to be a sharp handler too, and was seen as a renaissance for Ford, giving the Big Three a well-designed volume seller that could take on stalwarts like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Then the sedan-pocalypse happened, and Ford abandoned cars.
As Car News China reports, the arrival has revealed previously unseen interior shots. In particular, the base trim, called Fashion, comes with a large screen that incorporates the instrument cluster and the center infotainment controls, separated by a black column just right of the steering wheel. The new Mondeo eschews its predecessor's baby Aston Martin looks. It expands in size, too, measuring 0.9 inches wider and 2.5 inches longer than the Fusion we knew. The growth makes room for rear passengers, an important consideration for the Chinese market.
