When you see the new generation of Mondeo overseas road spy photos, just look at the appearance, there will be a little sense of loss. Looking forward to the replacement of Mondeo for nearly 9 years, although it adopts a new family-style shape, but overall it will feel that the previous generation is more classic, do you have different feelings?
Looking at the picture to speak, the new generation of Mondeo and the front face of EVOS can not say the same, but at least the gap is not large, the same use of split headlights, and scale-filled front grille, more fashionable atmosphere. The size of the front grille, judging from the picture, it is difficult to determine who is bigger and who is smaller than the new generation and the cash model, and from the details, it is expected that the size will be a little more exaggerated than the current model.
Compared with the previous generation, the aesthetic of the front details of the car is indeed more exquisite, but from the overall point of view, it seems that as early as 8 years ago, Mondeo with a "Martin's mouth" has taken everyone's pursuit of appearance, the chrome filling of the horizontal strip, too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it can be said to lead an era, so far it is not easy to be surpassed.
Including the side of the body, the new generation of Mondeo also adopts a two-color body, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people than the previous generation in terms of color matching. Moreover, the door handle is also used in the popular hidden type, which is much more grounded than the current model. However, in the body line, the sense of sportiness and strength of the current model has been weakened a lot, especially the waistline.
The design of the rear part of the car is more complicated than the current model, and also creates a penetrating taillight atmosphere, the layering of the rear is stronger than that of the current model, and the shape of the taillights is more personalized and fashionable, and the recognition is also improved. However, the change of the lower encirclement has weakened the heavy and high-grade sense of the rear of the car to a certain extent.
I sent the road test spy photo to the two "contemporary" Mondeo owners, as well as colleagues around me, only to find that I was not the only one who thought that the current Mondeo was more classic and representative. Maybe it is just looking at the picture at present, or it may not be adapted, the real car to give people the feeling may be different, but at the stage of looking at the picture, Mondeo fans will feel that it evokes a sense of emotion, and this sense of feeling has a fresh feeling that has overshadowed the new car.
Judging from the information released on the Internet, the body size is 4935/1875/1500mm, the wheelbase is 2945mm, the size of the whole car is a circle, the wheelbase is even closer to Taurus, combined with EVOS, the space performance of the new generation of Mondeo should be more impressive to Chinese consumers.
In terms of power, the new car may be equipped with a 2.0T L4 turbocharged engine, with a power rating of 175kW and a net power of 173kW.
Written at the end: Mondeo has changed, and it seems that it has not changed. As a leader in the B-class car market, the replacement is in response to the call, I believe it is more technologically intelligent, but also believe that it has a comprehensive improvement for users, as to whether it can impress picky consumers, perhaps also depends on the price. For now, maybe more than 8 years of impression is too deep, adapt to the new look, do not know whether friends need time.
