A few years ago, the American car still has a high voice in the domestic automobile market, and Ford, as the main brand of the car series, the launch of The Forest, Mondeo and other models can easily achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles. However, not all of Ford's models can easily get hot sales, among them, the more classic is the Taurus that is in short supply abroad, the car has not broken through 10,000 units after entering the domestic auto market, compared with Mondeo, which is also positioned in the mid-size car market, Taurus's performance is indeed not good.
With the weakening of the aura of the Ford brand, Taurus sales, although declining, are still stable in the ranks of thousands of vehicles, compared with the peak of the monthly sales, the overall gap is not very large. On the other hand, Mondeo, which has easily achieved monthly sales of 10,000 vehicles, has now fallen to a triple-digit rank, not only the overall gap is larger than Taurus, but also the monthly sales are not as good as Taurus. However, it is worth mentioning that after more than 8 years, Ford Mondeo also ushered in a new generation of models, the car has been launched on January 17 this year, a lot of product information has also been announced, then, let's see if the new Mondeo can successfully reverse the situation in the future through product strength.
Ford, which is in a downturn, since the beginning of the Ford EVO, has designed a new family design concept of "potential energy aesthetics" with the Chinese market aesthetic as the main body, and from the appearance of the new Mondeo launched this time, there is the use of such a new family design. In the front part of the face, the sagging curvature of the large multi-ribbed lid is obvious, creating a noticeable feeling of low lying down. The large grille was retained, the banner design of the internal mid-mesh was eliminated, and the 3D parametric scale mesh was replaced. There is also a through-line light strip between the cover and the grille, which connects the two side headlights to bring a through-through design, which is younger than the current Mondeo.
Coming to the side, the sneaky roof presents a very smooth design effect, the uneven body uses hidden door handles, coupled with the irregular multi-line design, the fluidity of this part is not bad. Not only that, the curved roof is blackened, combined with the back of the body of different colors, bringing the mainstream two-color body design, and the temperament presented by the entire side of the new car is much younger and more fashionable than the current Mondeo.
The rear part, the two sides of the rear windshield are also blackened, and integrated with the black roof, the spoiler with a large flat shape is just integrated with the trunk, and the taillights of the family design are at both ends of the spoiler, and the taillights are also connected with slender light strips, which can bring highly recognizable lighting effects. The delicate rear bumper is equipped with a diffuser, and although the real exhaust port is hidden, the exhaust port decorated by the chrome trim strip also enhances the sporty atmosphere at the rear of the car. To be honest, the look of the new Mondeo is a lot more exciting than the current Mondeo.
The new Mondeo not only looks similar to the design of the Ford EVO, but also has a similar shape and design of the interior. The large black center console has a layered design, the B&O sound seems to be placed in the middle console gap, and the four-panel multi-function steering wheel is spliced to look full of power. In addition, in front of the steering wheel, you can also see a huge screen of up to 1.1 meters, which is built into a new generation of SYNC+2.0 intelligent interconnection system, which means that the common voice interaction function is not absent, and the overall luxury atmosphere and technology atmosphere are not weak.
Of course, the new Mondeo has not only made changes in appearance, the new car has also been adjusted in terms of size compared to the current Mondeo. It can be seen that the current Mondeo has a length of 4873mm, while the new Mondeo has a length of 4935mm, an increase of 73mm, not only that, the wheelbase of the new car has also increased by 95mm, which means that the legroom in the rear has been improved. However, due to the slippery design, even if the height of the new car is increased by 30mm, the actual head space is average.
In summary, the new generation of Mondeo has truly changed from the inside out, and it adopts a new family design concept, compared with the current Mondeo, it is indeed fashionable, young and sporty. However, some netizens said that medium-sized cars are mainly for families, relatively young, fashionable, or more focused on stability, if according to such an idea, the new Mondeo in the future after entering the market, it may be difficult to the audience. But then again, honda accord is also positioned in the medium-sized sedan market, the same appearance is also very young, sporty, fashionable, but the accord is still easy to achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles, so the new Mondeo still has the hope to win back a round for itself.
