Let us recall that, according to the carmaker, the end of Mondeo in Europe was partly decided by the customers themselves. The brand’s best-selling model last year was the compact Puma crossover, which sold 132,455 units. However, Mondea sold only 12,584 units in the same period.

At the beginning of the year, the carmaker with a blue oval in the emblem introduced a new generation of Mondea for the Chinese market, which is built on the C2 platform, shared with the Ford Focus. Its import into Europe is not expected.
