Ford Mondeo (sedan / liftback / estate) · Mk5 (CD391)
Generation 5 2014–2022
The Fusion-based Mk5: quiet, spacious, well equipped (LED lights, adaptive cruise) and cheap for what it is. 2.0 TDCi 150/180 and the later EcoBlue with the 8-speed are the mainstream; the Hybrid sedan/Kombi is a Polish taxi favourite; 1.5 EcoBoost is the sensible petrol. Vignale is the luxury trim.
