The Ford Mondeo used to be one of Britain’s best-sellers, yet we’d be surprised if a few of you didn’t even realise it was still on sale as late as 2022. The rise of SUVs means conventional large family hatchbacks like the Mondeo have basically disappeared - but they still make shrewd purchases for value-seeking motorists who need a bit of comfort and space.
The fourth-generation Mondeo covered here went on sale in the UK in 2014 and is available with petrol, diesel, and hybrid powerplants. It’s spacious and well-equipped, and drives pretty well too, and with a Ford dealership on nearly every corner, it should also be simple to maintain. Mondeo money will get you more exciting cars today, but it remains a sensible and affordable choice.
We’d not blame you for wanting to spend your money on a premium-badged saloon or on a more fashionable SUV - both types of cars that have displaced the Mondeo as the mid-sized family car of choice over the years. But the fourth-generation Mondeo still has a lot going for it, particularly if you like getting a lot of car for your money.
Space seems as good a place as any to start, since the Mondeo is quite a large car and makes use of that with a spacious and comfortable cabin, and a huge boot (more than 650 litres) even in regular hatchback form - there’s also an estate available. The interior lacks the class of some rivals but the layout is about as logical as modern car cabins get, and doesn’t hide all its minor controls behind touchscreen menus.
The Mondeo used to be a class-leader for driver appeal, and while that’s no longer the case, the handling is at least neat and tidy, the ride quality is very good in most models, and refinement is impressive too - essentially, the Mondeo has traded handling for comfort, which may appeal to some buyers. All-wheel drive is available in some models, while the more powerful engines deliver decent performance without harming economy too much.
There aren’t many mainstream rivals left for the Mondeo, but cars like the Mazda 6 and Volkswagen Passat are still well worth a look, as is the capacious Skoda Superb. You’ll find some overlap in price between the Mondeo and premium cars like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class too, and their badge appeal can’t be ignored. One unexpected option might also be the Tesla Model 3 - the electric car’s ubiquity pretty much makes it the Mondeo of the 2020s…
If you plan to echo the high-mileage lifestyle enjoyed (or endured) by decades and decades of sales reps, then diesel power still makes sense in this latest Mondeo, with around 50mpg possible and plenty of torque to keep you happy on the motorway. The hybrid’s pretty frugal too, and the better choice if the car will see just as much use in town. Spec-wise, aim for either Zetec or, if you fancy heated leather seats, Titanium trim. ST-Line and Vignale are probably overkill - the extra you’ll pay is better spent on something from Audi, BMW, or Mercedes.

The government changed the way Vehicle Excise Duty works in April 2017. Models registered prior to April 1st that year are taxed on CO2, while those after get a flat rate. That means some early Mondeos won’t cost you a penny in tax, with CO2 figures below 100g/km (such as the hybrid, and the 1.5 TDCi diesel in Econetic form), but all post-April 2017 Mondeos will set you back £190 per year, or £180 for the hybrids.
At the lower end of the range at least, insuring a Mondeo shouldn’t cost much more than some smaller family hatchbacks, thanks to the cheapest models starting in group 15. This rises to group 31 at the top, for the more powerful petrol and diesels in Vignale trim.
