When it comes to American B-class cars, most people first think of Buick Regal, Mai Ruibao XL, etc., which are still active in the Chinese market, but there is such an American B-class car, which has not been launched since the 2013 update, it is Ford Mondeo. A few days ago, the new generation of Ford Mondeo was officially released, from the launch of the previous generation of models has passed 8 years, the new car is equipped with Ford's latest "potential energy aesthetics" design language, the interior is equipped with the same as the EVOS large screen, powered by the classic 2.0T high-power engine + 8AT gearbox, let's take a look:
The front face of the all-new Ford Mondeo inherits the classic design of EVOS, and the tight lines on the mussel hood are full of muscle. The octagonal grille is an "dragon scale armor" type active air intake mechanism inside, which can actively determine the airflow guidance according to the different speeds when driving, effectively reducing the wind resistance coefficient, and the "Martin mouth" at the front bumper can also be regarded as retaining the characteristics of the previous generation model. The full LED "Devil's Eye" split headlight has a unique shape, the upper part is a through-type light group composed of bending daytime lights + front light strips, and the lower part is a far and near light integrated lens lamp.
The new generation of Ford Mondeo's body length, width and height dimensions are 4935mm/1875mm/1500mm, and the wheelbase is 2945mm, which is much higher than the previous generation model, and it is a "big man" in the mid-size car. The side styling is very agile, the glossy black roof and dark gray body fit just right, the segmented light plastic waistline is full of power, and the hidden door handle has become the standard for Ford's new car. The shape of the gray aluminum alloy wheels of the double five-frame cyclone cutting gun is very compatible with the temperament of the whole vehicle, and the tire specification is 235/45 R19, which has reached the mid-range level of the same level.
The new Ford Mondeo's rear is more delicate, the complex lines bring a sense of layering, the "MONDEO" letter logo is placed in the middle, and the bright silver chrome trim at the rear bumper stretches the visual width of the rear. Although the tail light adopts a through-type module, the middle light strip cannot constitute a through-through effect after being lit, which is very chicken ribs; the inverted "L" type width display lamp adopts a gradual lighting method, and the recognition at night is very high.
The interior design of the new-generation Ford Ford Mondeo will be the same as that of the EVOS, with a well-distributed distribution of multifunctional buttons on the three-frame steering wheel. More than 1 meter of "fish screen" built-in Ford SYNC+ intelligent network system, the design of the gear shift area is very simple, and the "knob-type" electronic shift has a metallic edge.
In terms of power, the new generation of Ford Mondeo will be equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower of 238Ps, the peak torque of 376N·m, the parameters are very strong, and zero hundred acceleration is expected to enter the 7-second club. The drivetrain is mated to an 8AT automatic transmission, and there is no fault in the smoothness and stability.
The new generation of Ford Mondeo is mainly aimed at competitors for the 10th generation and a half Honda Accord, Regal GS, Nissan Tianlai and other classic B-class cars, compared to its peers, the competitiveness of the new Mondeo is remarkable. But its powertrain is relatively single, only providing 2.0T+8AT, and this powertrain is also a product of a few years ago, if the new Mondeo can launch a pure electric version or a model equipped with the same PHEV system, I believe its competitiveness can be further improved.
In this way, the exterior design of the new generation of Ford Mondeo has made great progress compared with the previous generation of models, the appearance value can still be played in the same level of models, the interior design is full of technology, and the powertrain is also very sincere. Referring to the current Mondeo's big discount price and the situation of The Ford River, Xiao Tao believes that the price range of the new generation of Ford Mondeo is set to be between 160,000 and 200,000 yuan, if the price can be consistent with Xiao Tao's expectations after the official listing, I believe that the new generation of Ford Mondeo can reshuffle the B-class sedan market and help Ford get back on track!
