The Ford CDW27 platform is a since-retired automotive platform designed and used by Ford in worldwide markets for 1993-2007. Used for midsize cars, the CDW27 architecture was a "world car"[1] (co-designed by Ford and Mazda), becoming the second Ford world car (after the 1980 Ford Escort).
The CDW architecture was developed over six years, costing $6 billion at the time of its 1993 launch;[2][3] the shared development saved approximately 25% over developing separate vehicles for Ford and Ford of Europe.[3] The Global and the American versions were to have about 75 percent parts commonality.[4]
Derived from the Mazda GE platform (used by the Mazda Cronos/626 and the Mazda MX-6/Ford Probe), the platform replaced the DE-1 platform (Ford Sierra) and the CE14 platform (Ford Tempo/Mercury Topaz) under a single product range. First used for the 1993 Ford Mondeo,[5] North America began usage of the CDW27 for 1995 with the Ford Contour.
During the 2000s, the architecture was phased out in favor of two midsize platforms developed separately; the CD3 architecture (developed with Mazda) was used in North America and the EUCD architecture (shared with Volvo) was used by Ford of Europe.
