What is the boot capacity of the Ford Mondeo 2016?

The boot space of the 2016 Ford Mondeo varies by body style. In short, the hatchback offers about 550 liters behind the rear seats, while the wagon (estate) provides more room—roughly 550 liters with the seats up and up to about 1,600 liters with the rear seats folded. Exact figures can vary slightly depending on trim, measurement method, and floor configuration.


Boot capacity by body style


Hatchback (5-door)


The Mondeo hatchback delivers around 550 liters of luggage space behind the rear seats when they are in use. When the rear bench is folded flat, capacity expands substantially, with commonly reported figures in the range of 1,300–1,600 liters depending on how the floor and seats are configured.


Key figures for this body style include the following capacities:



  • Boot space with rear seats up: approximately 550 liters

  • Boot space with rear seats folded: approximately 1,300–1,600 liters


In daily use, the hatchback offers solid practicality for groceries, luggage, and occasional longer items, with the fold-flat option helping to accommodate longer loads.


Estate (wagon)


The Mondeo estate naturally carries more cargo space due to its extended body. Behind the rear seats, you’ll typically find about 550 liters of boot space. Fold the rear seats flat, and capacity increases to roughly 1,600–1,700 liters, depending on trim and loading configuration.


Key figures for this body style include the following capacities:



  • Boot space with rear seats up: around 550 liters

  • Boot space with rear seats folded: around 1,600–1,700 liters


For owners who regularly transport larger items, the estate’s expanded loading footprint provides a clear advantage, though users should still account for load lip height and floor configuration when packing.


Practical loading notes


Boot capacity figures are influenced by measurement standards (for example, whether capacity is quoted with a full spare wheel or a temporary kit, and how much space the load floor occupies). Real-world use may vary slightly based on trim level and the presence of features such as a variable-height floor or under-floor storage compartments.


Summary


The 2016 Ford Mondeo offers two practical configurations: the hatchback with about 550 liters of space behind the rear seats (up to around 1,300–1,600 liters with seats folded) and the estate with roughly 550 liters behind the rear seats (up to about 1,600–1,700 liters with seats folded). For buyers, the choice between hatchback and estate largely hinges on how much cargo space is needed and how often the rear seats will be used for passengers versus cargo.
