Mexico

In Mexico, the model was similar to the European version to replace the Ford Contour. Trim levels were Core, Edge, Ghia and 100 units of the ST220 (sold as a limited edition), it was sold only with the 2.0 4-cylinder, 2.5 V6 and 3.0 V6 (for the ST220) petrol: no turbodiesel or estate versions were available in Mexico. Its nearest rival were the Chevrolet Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. 2007 was the last year of the Mondeo for Mexico, being sold together with the Ford Fusion until it finally replaced it.

Brazil

In Brazil, Ford do Brasil re-imported the Mondeo from 2002, until the Fusion replaced it in 2006.[8] The Mondeo was offered only as a saloon, and had the 2.0 143 hp inline-4 engine. The V6 version was sold only during the past generation (1999–2000). No flexifuel variant was available. There was only one trim level, the Ghia, with manual or automatic gearbox.

Taiwan

In Taiwan, the second generation Ford Mondeo (CD132) was produced in Chungli, Taiwan from 2001. It was redesigned and marketed by Ford Lio Ho as the Ford Mondeo Metrostar. The redesign featured 17 inch alloys, 14 inch brake disks, a completely redesigned front end and restyled tail lamps, while the interior remained the same as the European model, featuring Nappa leather and the IP imported from Germany. Two versions of the grilles were offered, with the earlier one featuring vertical bars with the Ford badge on the top and the latter-launched one from 2003 for the V6 models featuring horizontal bars and the Ford oval in the center. The V6 version of the grilles were later available in lower trim models as the Koln Edition. A facelift called the Ford Mondeo Metrostar A+ was launched by the end of 2003, featuring completely redesigned front end and restyled tail lamps once again. The Europe spec Mondeo RS model was also produced in Taiwan starting from 2002 and offered as a sportier variant, while the European Mondeo ST220 performance model was imported.[9]

The Ford Mondeo Metrostar in Taiwan was also exported to a few countries in east Asia including China and Vietnam.[10] The Ford Mondeo Metrostar in Taiwan was produced from 2001 to 2007 as a 4-door sedan only. The model is powered by a 2.0 liter DOHC inline-4 engine or a 2.5 DOHC V6 engine option for the post 2003 model.[10]

Later prices of the Taiwan-produced model were dropped to 230,000 RMB. After the Ford Mondeo Metrostar A+ facelift, Changan Ford started to produce the Ford Lio Ho designed model domestically as the Ford Mondeo in China, and a minor facelift featuring a new front bumper was launched later.[9]
