The Ford Mondeo has always been known for its practicality and generous boot space. Over the years, the Mondeo has evolved to cater to the changing needs of families, and its boot space is a testament to that. So, let's take a closer look at the current Mondeo's boot space and compare it to its predecessors, other Ford models, and its nearest competitors.
Over the generations, the boot space of the Mondeo has seen considerable change. Starting from the Mondeo I (1993-1996) with a 470-liter boot, it saw a slight reduction in the Mondeo II (1996-2000) at 460 liters. However, the Mondeo III (2000-2007) marked an improvement with a 500-liter boot. The real leap came with the Mondeo IV (2007-2014) boasting a 554-liter boot while the Mondeo V (2014-2021) came in at a very close 550 liters. This consistent growth in boot space ensured the Mondeo remained a driver's favorite and a go-to family vehicle.

However, larger models such as the Ford Focus Turnier (635 liters) and the Ford Tourneo Connect (1213 liters) outmatch the Mondeo's cargo capabilities. Overall, the Mondeo has a competitively sized boot in the Ford lineup.

Now let's compare the Mondeo with its nearest competitors. The VW Arteon offers a slightly larger boot at 563 liters against Mondeo's 550 liters, despite the Arteon having a shorter wheelbase (2837 mm vs Mondeo's 2850 mm). On the other hand, the BMW 4er-Reihe and Audi A5 come in at 480 liters each, which falls short of the Mondeo's generous offering. Although the BMW 3er-Reihe comes in at a decent 520 liters, it still doesn't match the Mondeo. Cars like the Peugeot 508 (487 liters) and the Opel Insignia (490 liters) also struggle to keep up with the Mondeo.
