Ford Mondeo is a model with a history of nearly 30 years, the first generation of products was sold overseas in 1993; in 2004, the second generation of models was introduced by Changan Ford, and since then Mondeo has begun to take root in the Chinese market; the third generation of products was released in 2006, introduced into domestic production the following year and sold in the name of Mondeo - Zhisheng; the fourth generation of Mondeo listed in 2013 with the "Little Martin" design in the market shines, but now its situation is no longer the same as in the past. In this situation, Ford unveiled a new generation of Mondeo.
The new Mondeo is the fifth generation model, produced by Changan Ford, based on the "potential energy aesthetics" family design concept, equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and matched with an 8AT gearbox.
Ford's latest family design language we have already learned on EVOS, avant-garde atmosphere. The new design language gives the new generation of Mondeo a high degree of recognition and a strong sense of fashion. The split headlights use a full LED light source, while there is also an LED strip that runs through the front face. Since the shape of the near and far light clusters is similar to the rectangular shape, the new Mondeo is a little more calm than EVOS. In addition, the 3D parametric scale grille is not absent from the new car, and the undulating "breathing" effect is presented when the vehicle is unlocked.
Length, width and height: 4935/1875/1500mm
Wheelbase: 2945mm
The new generation of Mondeo has an increased wheelbase of 95 mm, an increase in length and width, and a coordinated stretch of the side proportions. The segmented waistline and side skirt line create an air of power. The two-tone bodywork is a fashionable way to create a stylish atmosphere, and the hidden door handle can both reduce wind resistance and enhance the sense of ceremony when getting on the car.
The 19-inch rim is painted in gray and silver, and the whirlwind shape also enhances the avant-garde atmosphere. The tires are available in 235/45 R19 and are part of the Ventus S1 evo3.
The three words full, powerful, and hierarchical can sum up the characteristics of the new Mondeo tail. Ducktail tail, two-color taillights, two-sided exhaust trim and diffuser design all highlight the sporty fashion. The LED taillights have an approximate through-line design, and the three longitudinal column designs inside the main light source have a bit of a Mustang feel.
If you're familiar with the interior of the Ford EVOS, the new Mondeo won't be unfamiliar to you, with the center console styling almost identical. Pull the car door and you will be attracted by the huge screen up to 1.1 meters long, which is composed of a 12.3-inch LCD meter and a 27-inch large screen (4K), which is rare in fuel vehicles. The wrap-around center console shape is complemented by a pen line that runs across the left and right, making the visual feeling in the car very open.
The steering wheel is the latest family style, the left button controls adaptive cruise, lane keeping and other functions, and the right button controls multimedia.
The 12.3-inch LCD instrument display effect is more delicate, supporting the display of multimedia, driving assistance, speed, speed and other information.
The 27-inch large screen can display content separately on the left and right sides, which is equipped with SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, which mainly integrates online navigation, voice assistant, Internet of Vehicles, online weather and other functions.
Knob-type electronic gear shift mechanism is common in Ford's models, mobile phone wireless charging, electronic handbrake, automatic headlights, engine start-stop, one-button start, partition automatic air conditioning, interior atmosphere lights, B&O sound system and other configurations are not absent in the real-time model.
The seats are made of leather + Odiland material mix, black and white and supplemented by red stitching, both stylish and quality sense, the front seats are electrically adjustable, and the main driver's seat also has an electric waist rest.
The rear seats are in the same style as the front, with all three seats with headrests, as well as central armrests, cup holders, air conditioning outlets and power connections. The double sunroof can not only improve the permeability of the car, but also be beneficial to the sense of grade.
The new generation of Mondeo will be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 238 hp, a peak torque of 376 Nm, and a drivetrain mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
