2013 Ford Fusion Mondeo

The cover of the latest issue of Auto Express in the UK features one of the first renderings of the next-generation Ford Mondeo, which as we all know will be basically the same as Ford's future replacement for the Fusion in the States. If this drawing proves accurate, it looks like the new midsize models will combine a lot of what we see in the 2012 Focus at the front end with a greenhouse and rear stance that actually looks more like the current Taurus.

The Fusion was Ford's first model to adopt the automaker's now ubiquitous three-bar grille design, but this rendering finally dispenses with that look in favor of something a little more Kinetic. We don't know if the production model will go this way or perhaps use the modified perforated version adopted by the latest Taurus and Explorer.

The new Mondeo and Fusion will probably debut sometime later in 2011 and come to market early in 2012 as a 2013 model.

2013 Ford Fusion

2013 Ford Fusion / Ford Mondeo. by 2013, Ford is planning to have all of their midsize sedans on one platform (Ford EUCD), and this new Ford Fusion– which currently is based on the old Mazda 6 platform– will have a lot more in common with the Ford Mondeo than it does today. Hence, using a Mondeo as a development mule. There are mules running around Michigan with various exhaust set ups and we're even seeing ones with modified fuel filler caps, signaling that they're planning to switch the access side from the right to the left side of the car.

No further details are available, but we have to assume Ford will continue where they started with the Fiesta, offering more dual-clutch automatics and that Ecoboost and Hybrid models will be available.
