After 9 years, finally in January 2022, Changan Ford brought a new generation of Mondeo models, and returned with a new sporty design style and the only 110cm giant real 4K car machine screen in the same class. When everyone is still understanding and experiencing this main sports and technology replacement model, on February 24, Changan Ford released the Mondeo ST-Line version of the model while it was hot, and also opened a small set of online malls. So, what are the differences between this "ST-Line" that is more sporty in the B-segment market? Let's take a look.
The new generation of Mondeo ST-Line is actually just a derivative of the new generation of Mondeo, mainly on the basis of the ordinary version of a more sporty upgrade.
In terms of details, the front face of the new generation of Mondeo ST-Line uses a larger area of black dynamic material, of which the all-black breathing 3D scale grille design is more sporty and has the function of an active grille. The front bumper has also been replaced with a sporty design, while the black trim at both ends is also connected to the main light source of the split headlights, which can visually bring consumers a different feeling.
The owner painted the whole car in black and red, creating a suspended roof design through the A/B/C pillars of the black circle, while the body side also adopted a split waistline design with hidden door handles, as well as a new style of 19-inch wheels and red brake calipers. In particular, the design of the rear of the body similar to the coupe and the addition of the new small black tail wing have made the sporty atmosphere of the whole vehicle very well enhanced.
The rear of the car is also rich in three-dimensional layering, not only the popular through-type tail light group, but also the three-stage structure on both sides, the overall shape is highly consistent with the Ford classic model Mustang, and the bottom of the car is also equipped with a new style of rear surround and black diffuser, the overall highlights a strong sense of movement, but the exhaust cylinder of the two sides is still hidden in the bottom of the car, if it can be displayed, it is better.
In terms of interior, the new generation of Mondeo ST-Line is also consistent with the ordinary version, also equipped with the most eye-catching 110cm ultra-wide area 4K giant screen, which is composed of a 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD instrument and a 27-inch central control screen, and also integrates Ford's latest generation of SYNC+2.0 Intelligent Mobility interconnection system, and provides multi-dimensional interaction methods such as multi-touch, AI voice recognition, gesture control, and facial recognition.
The difference is that the ST-Line logo, which symbolizes identity, appears on the right side of the center console and adds new stitching, while the air conditioner outlet and the red trim that continues to the door panel are also unique to st-Line. In addition, a new generation of Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system will also appear on this model.
The material of the whole car seat uses the combination of leather and fur, and the details are also decorated with red double stitching, especially the same red vertical decoration in the middle of the backrest, and the rear passengers can also enjoy the independent air conditioning outlet, and thanks to the advantages of the 2945mm wheelbase, the overall driving space is very spacious. In terms of power, the Mondeo ST-Line will be equipped with a 2.0T engine (EcoBoost 245), which is expected to have a maximum power of 175 kW (238Ps) and will match the 8-speed manual transmission.
Summary: After the static experience, you will find that the new generation of Mondeo ST-Line is more changed than the ordinary version, or more changes are concentrated in the details of the exterior and interior, and indeed it is also a good visual to create a more sporty atmosphere, but the core essence is exactly the same as the ordinary version. This will undoubtedly provide more choices for consumers who pay attention to sports-oriented appearance.
In the same class, the advantages of the Mondeo ST-Line are the same as those of the ordinary version, all of which have a size close to the Ford Taurus, which makes the space advantage of the whole vehicle in the same class obvious; at the same time, the 110cm giant screen and the new intelligent system also make the car indeed have leading intelligent technology. In the future, it also depends on the specific pricing of the listing, if the difference with the ordinary version is not much, then for consumers who prefer more sports appearance, the ST-Line version is more worthy of choice.
