The Mondeo was designed to be a "world car"; the North American models were marketed as the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique until 2000, and as the Ford Fusion from 2013 onwards.
Mondeo сменил в модельном ряду Ford Sierra в Европе и Ford Telstar в значительной части Азии, в то время как Ford Contour и Mercury Mystique заменил Ford Tempo и Mercury Topaz в Северной Америке.
