Now this society is too fast, the transformation of many things is beyond the imagination of all of us, take the car as a product, its audience mode and product requirements, has been constantly updated and alternating. In the past, a car can be popular for several years as long as it has reversing images, Bluetooth and other configurations, but now the car, you may have a big product upgrade in a year's time, which means that what was very popular last year has been eliminated this year. Therefore, now the major car companies are constantly improving the characteristics and strength of their products, and they do not want to let their products lag behind, so they will lose the initiative in the market. Therefore, we can also perceive that the current model replacement or modification cycle is much shorter than before. Especially those models that don't sell very well, they are replaced faster, because they want to attract consumers with a new look. And what I want to introduce today is also a more classic B-class car, its new model with 2.0T and 8AT, there is a 1.1-meter-long "giant screen" in the car, very handsome.
This car is the new Ford Mondeo, speaking of the Mondeo car I believe everyone is very familiar, because in the early years of the domestic B-class sedan market, Mondeo is also a good sales, and is a very classic model. Especially from 2015 to 2018, the Mondeo sold more than 10,000 units a month, which is a car with a hot label. However, with the subsequent development of the market, the opponents in the market have become more and more powerful, such as toyota Camry, Volkswagen Magotan/Passat, Honda Accord and so on are the most significant representatives. At that time, Mondeo also had some shortcomings that were ridiculed by many people, some people said that its fuel consumption was high, and some people said that it had many small problems, so compared to The German and Japanese models, Mondeo was suddenly compared. And now, Mondeo has no advantage, coupled with its older power system, more and more people have begun to forget the Mondeo car.
So Ford also clearly recognized this, the Mondeo car came to a new generation, after the replacement of the Mondeo is a completely different style from the German and Japanese, it is sports, young and technology-based, so in the design is a little radical and a little exaggerated. At present, although this car is a pre-sale state (can be blinded), but the market heat is still OK, so we will now guess its positioning price. We all know that Ford launched a new B-class crossover EVOS some time ago, and the positioning and power combination of this car are similar to Mondeo. The positioning price of this car is 19.98 - 259,800. And we look at the positioning price of the old Mondeo, which is 19.28-213,800. So we can boldly assume that the starting price of the new Mondeo will not be too low, it is likely to be around 180,000 to 190,000, as for the top price should be in the early 200,000, because the price is set too high, it will also lose a certain number of consumers, after all, the current Ford is not the Ford of the year.
And now, we will first take you from the appearance to take a brief understanding of the car, first of all, the front face, this car is the use of Ford's latest family design, mesh processing effect combined with the active closing of the grille, it looks very advanced. In the case of headlights, the daily running lamp has a penetrating effect, and the split headlight processing is also more appropriate to the mainstream. On the side of the body, the overall side of the modification is very good, the concave effect makes the entire side very refined, and there are obvious bulges in the place of the A and C pillars of the car, combined with the hidden door handle to make it look very sporty and young. The design comes to the tail, and the tail is also a taillight of the through-style, which echoes the front face of the daytime light, but as such a young and sporty model, the use of a hidden exhaust is really a bit "low-key". Finally, in terms of body size, the length, width and height of this car are 4935/1875/1500mm, and the wheelbase is 2945mm, and the size data performance is not bad.
Walking into the car, the interior design really makes us feel very sci-fi, giving people the first impression of the through-channel display, this display from the main driver to the co-pilot, but also the use of this suspension effect, so the visual impact is very large. The size of this display is 1.1 meters long, which is definitely a "giant screen" in the car, and this is also the most popular design method for cars now, from the ideal ONE to the Hoshikoshi L to the current Ford Mondeo, this design is indeed very shocking. As for the configuration, this car has not yet been listed, so there is no detailed data, but it is said that this car has multi-touch, AI speech recognition, gesture control, facial recognition and other multi-dimensional interaction methods, etc. For the configuration, this time Mondeo does stand in front of the joint venture B-class car, after all, like gesture control, facial recognition, etc., it is difficult to see in those traditional B-class cars.
Powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, the car has a maximum of 238 horsepower and matches an 8-speed automatic transmission. If the whole series of this car is really good at this power, this is an improvement compared to the old model, after all, the low-end models of the old model are 1.5T engines, matching the 6AT wave box. However, I personally think that the new model should no longer be equipped with the 1.5T engine, and it is likely that the low-end version uses an 8-speed automatic transmission instead of an 8AT. As far as the power of this car 2.0T and 8AT is concerned, it is relatively excellent in the same level, because the Accord is a 1.5T engine, and although there are 2.0T engines like passats and Maiten, the matching is a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the dual-clutch transmission and the AT transmission do have a big gap in stability, which is also a fact that everyone can see.
In general, the car market is changing rapidly, and you must have the strength of a product that you can get on the market, because in the B-class sedan market, there are too many competitors, such as volkswagen Passat, Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, etc., these models have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. And for a car like the Ford Mondeo, it is like being abandoned, although it was very hot before, but now there is really no traffic, so its replacement must be a little different, to be bright, and in terms of the new model, it has indeed done. And in the interior design also has its own characteristics and insights, as for the power of the 2.0T and 8AT wave box is really nothing to pick, so after the car is listed, as long as the positioning price is appropriate, I believe there is still a certain audience of people, I don't know if all of you think so?
