What is the environment of the domestic car market in 2021, presumably friends who pay attention to the dynamic will have some understanding, and the chip shortage almost runs through the beginning and end, which has a certain impact on car companies. Changan Ford from the sales point of view, last year's annual sales of 305,000 vehicles to achieve a strong rebound, 2022 want to "take advantage of the chase", the next action is very important. Recently, Changan Ford fell behind the first move of the year, and the new Mondeo was unveiled, which may help Ford return to the mainstream B-class car camp.
Seriously, back in previous years, Ford Mondeo has also been glamorous, and the classic Martin face appearance has strong power, which was very good at the time. However, the market is changing, consumers are also changing, and Mondeo, which has not been greatly revamped for many years, is not fragrant, and now this situation has ushered in a turnaround, and a new generation of Mondeo will soon arrive. The new car's exterior has undergone a subversive adjustment, eliminating the iconic Martin face of the past and replacing it with a hexagonal grille full of chrome elements, with a sharp headlight set, which is impressive.
In the body part, you can see the slender posture of the new Mondeo, the double high waistline and the hidden door handle, which will show the muscles of the American sedan. In addition, the rear part of the car is square in style, full of layering, and is also equipped with through the tail lights, which adds a fashionable atmosphere to the new car and also ensures a high degree of recognition. The size is also the focus of the new car changes, the length, width and height are: 4935/1875/1500mm, the wheelbase is 2945mm, compared with the current model in all aspects of the improvement, the horizontal comparison is not inferior.
The interior of the new car, compared with the slightly old-fashioned layout of the current Mondeo, the new model pays more attention to the grade and creates a scientific and technological atmosphere, especially this oversized display, which is highly consistent with the Ford EVOS. There are good and bad things to do, the good thing is that Changan Ford has finally kept up with the mainstream car-making level; and the bad thing is that the upgrade is very strong, and I don't know if everyone can accept this style. Powerly, the new car will be equipped with the same 2.0L turbo engine of Ford EVOS, matching the 8AT gearbox, with a maximum output of 175kW, and there is no accurate news as for the plug-in hybrid version.
At present, in the domestic B-class car market, Japanese cars grasp the initiative, and the top few in the sales ranking in 2021 have Japanese cars, especially the Toyota Camry, which also won last year's sales crown. Not only the Camry, but also B-class cars such as accord, Tianlai and Passat, the first condition for good sales is that the car is strong. New Mondeo has been adjusted inside and outside, and the product strength has been improved, but the pricing may play a decisive role, if it is as arrogant as EVOS, you can imagine the consequences of the new car. So if the official pricing is appropriate, I am personally optimistic about Changan Ford's move.
