When the previous generation of Mondeo was first listed, it became popular all over the country with the "Martin Face". I have to say that in 13 years, this set of design languages can scare a lot of small whites who don't understand cars.
However, car companies are becoming more and more inward-looking, from "three years and one change" to "three years and one generation", Mondeo gradually can not keep up with the pace, which also leads to the subsequent sales of bleak year by year.
A few years ago, the new Mondeo was finally released, and a new design language was adopted, that is, the design language of Ford EVOS.
The large blackened grille + split headlight set + slipback design + through taillights make the new Mondeo look more sporty.
The interior design is also the same as EVOS, using a large joint screen with a size of 1.1 meters, the physical buttons are simplified, and the knob shifting method is adopted.
The size of the new Mondeo has also increased significantly compared to the previous generation, with the length of the car being increased from 4873mm to 4935mm and the wheelbase from 2850mm to 2945mm.
With a wheelbase increase of almost 100mm, it can be predicted that the interior space of the new Mondeo will be considerable.
Similarly, the new Mondeo may be equipped with the same 2.0T engine as the EVOS, mated to an 8AT gearbox, and the maximum power can reach 238 horsepower. This power is much higher than the Passat of the same class 2.0T.
Regarding configuration and intelligence, the new Mondeo did not reveal much news. But it is also possible to use EVOS as a reference:
For example, EVOS is equipped with the new SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system. With a visual virtual artificial intelligence assistant - VPA Zhixing partner, when using voice, it is no longer a cold dialogue between people and machines, and with the blessing of the speech system of Baidu artificial intelligence technology, it can also achieve 70+ semantic vertical recognition.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system equipped with EVOS includes 18 advanced driving assistance functions, such as 360-degree panoramic image, APA2 one-key parking assistance system, ACC full-speed intelligent adaptive cruise control system, LC intelligent pilot assistance system and so on. There is also Ford's first L2+ level BlueCruise active driver assistance function, integrating ADAS map data, camera and radar sensors, etc., with the blessing of these functions, Ford EVOS can easily achieve L2+ level active driver assistance.
If the new Mondeo applies the above configuration unchanged, then the B-class car market will surely set off a bloody storm.
But the problem is the price, the current Mondeo is priced at 192,800 yuan - 213,800 yuan. The EVOS equipped with the above configuration is priced at CNY 225,800 to CNY 259,800.
If it is equipped with so many configurations, the price of the new Mondeo will be difficult to control below 200,000 yuan. The same level of Accord has made the minimum allocation to about 170,000 yuan, and the lowest price of the Passat is also 179,900 yuan.
Therefore, whether the new Mondeo is fragrant or not depends on whether the minimum price of "full matching" can be within 200,000 yuan.
