Ford has developed a special long-wheelbase version of the new Mondeo sedan and the model was spotted recently in China where it joins other China-specific LWB models from the likes of BMW and Volkswagen Group. The first pictures of the stretched Mondeo have turned up on the Chinese forum SoulImage, and clearly show the lengthened Ford sedan’s longer wheelbase and extended rear door.
In China, it’s not uncommon for even mainstream models like a Mondeo to be chauffeur driven. Even if a LWB Mondeo is released in China, it's unlikely it'll be sold in any other markets. Ford is clearly on a winner with the new Mondeo, which has been a sales success in the UK and throughout Europe.

This is just faaaantastic! Even the Chinese get the Mondeo and what do we Americans get?! That's right: the Taurus come back from the dead (and looks it too).

How do you know if its a bona fide Mondeo? Could be another fake rip-off by one of their local manufacturers.

It looks fantastic. I'm moving to China soon so it'd be nice to be chauffeur driven around in one of these. :)

That's very very beautiful! I'm writing from Spain, and there the Mondeo Sedan (four doors) isn't popular. The Ford Mondeo is already at the stores, but the sedan doesn't appears, we only can see the Hatch-back. I am not very good at English, but I do what can I do, I don't know more English. Sorry for the grammar, si pudiese comentar en español...
