The Mondeo is one of the larger cars on UK roads, measuring in at a little less than 4.9 metres long. That gives it a few extra millimetres over the Peugeot 508 and Volkswagen Passat, and almost exactly the same size as the Skoda Superb. Those dimensions mean it’s not the easiest car to weave through tight city streets but it helps that all nearly new examples include front and rear parking sensors as standard.
Inside, the Mondeo benefits from its large footprint – passenger space is generous with lots of room for rear seat occupants to stretch out. Squeezing three across the back row is possible, although there isn’t a lot of headroom for the centre passenger. The boot is large – easily able to swallow two large suitcases on the saloon model and even more in the Estate – but be aware that the battery does eat into this room on Hybrid models.
