In 2021, among the traditional fuel vehicles in China, the king of the B-class car market is none other than Japanese cars.
According to the sales data released by the Association, GAC Toyota Camry sold 179,000 units in the whole year, becoming the sales champion of the domestic B-class car.
The other two Japanese B-class cars, The Guangqi Honda Accord and Dongfeng Nissan Tianlai, are not bad in sales, with 165,000 units sold in 2021 and 162,000 units respectively.
In contrast, the "German twins" Volkswagen Maiteng and Passat will sell 137,000 units and 115,000 units respectively in 2021.
Among the B-class cars of traditional fuel vehicles in the United States, none of them has annual sales of more than 100,000 units.
However, in 2022, the veteran car company Changan Ford will start to develop the domestic B-class car market.
On January 19, the new generation of Changan Ford Mondeo was officially unveiled at the Ford China Design Center.
It is understood that this car is specially tailored for the Chinese market by Ford Motor.
Before talking about new cars, let's briefly review the history of Mondeo.
When it comes to Mondeo, many young consumers after the 90s may not be too impressed. But for a post-80s like me, Mondeo for Changan Ford is still fresh in my mind.
As an important model of Ford Motor, Mondeo has a long history. As early as 1986, Ford invested $6 billion to start developing the first generation of Mondeo models.
It was not until 1993 that the first generation of Mondeo was officially launched in the European market, and later introduced the Mondeo ST24 model with a focus on handling performance.
At many prestigious european events, Mondeo has won numerous awards for its outstanding performance.
It was not until October 2000 that the second generation of Mondeo officially entered the domestic market.
A few years later, in 2007, Changan Ford's third-generation Mondeo was listed on the domestic market and named Mondeo Victory.
What really pushed Mondeo to new heights was the listing of the fourth generation of Mondeo in 2013.
The fourth generation of Mondeo adopts aston Martin's design elements in the exterior design, which looks very high-end and sporty.
Sales data show that from 2013 to 2017, Mondeo sales have been very good, with the highest monthly sales of nearly 15,000 vehicles.
The new generation of Mondeo unveiled this time adopts the family design concept of Changan Ford's "potential energy aesthetics" in appearance, which is completely led by the Ford China team, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
In addition, the new car also adopts a hidden door handle and a large slip back modeling style, which is very sporty and technological. The length, width and height are 4935/1875/1500mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2945mm, far surpassing the same level of Accord, Tianlai and Camry.
In terms of power, the new generation of Mondeo will also be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 238 horsepower, matching the 8-speed manual transmission.
Next, our focus is on the configuration and price of the new generation of Mondeo.
If Changan Ford can grasp the above two points this time, then it is not impossible for the new generation of Mondeo to play a beautiful turnaround battle.
