Have you ever wondered what the car of the future will look like? In the past, it was always thought that cars could be deformed in science fiction blockbusters and take off when encountering congested roads were fictional, but now it is not impossible to think about it. Because in just a few years, the car has changed from the most basic means of transportation to a set of automatic parking, unmanned driving, chat with you to relieve boredom and other scientific and technological attributes in one of the products, enough to see its update iteration of the amazing speed.
Therefore, looking at today's auto market, car companies are invariably making every effort to develop intelligence and are committed to creating more "smart" models for consumers. In this regard, the new power of electric power is undoubtedly in front of the industry, of which Tesla Model 3 has always been subverting the existence of automotive intelligent perception, with its leading strength to become the wisdom benchmark of the automotive industry, by a number of young consumers chased.
Fuel vehicles have a more complex body structure than pure electric models, and start relatively late on the intelligent road, so it is often believed that in the field of intelligent technology, fuel vehicles are synonymous with conservative. However, in recent years, with the transformation of traditional car companies, the scientific and technological level of many fuel models has made great progress, and intelligence is no longer the exclusive label of electric vehicles. For example, Changan Ford's new generation of Mondeo, and Ford pure electric models from the same electronic and electrical platform - FNV intelligent interconnection of the whole network architecture, not only in the appearance of the design of a very futuristic sense of technology, but also with a first-class intelligent interaction level and vehicle-wide OTA capabilities, to match the new forces of car-making intelligent technology level, enough to compete with the Model 3.
Minimalist cold futuristic sense vs human warmth ritual sense
We have heard too many words in recent years, and minimalism has become the general trend in areas such as home furnishing. In the automotive industry, Tesla Model 3 can be said to be the "minimalist approach" to the extreme, whether it is inside or outside, there is no excessive fancy design.
With its minimalist body lines, closed front grille, and hidden door handles, the Model 3, with its minimalist elements, was particularly special when it first came out, successfully emerging from the many fuel vehicles of the year. However, today is different from the past, today's new energy market is full of flowers, the design is also the same, all run to the minimalist design, model 3 is no longer so different.
Look at the new generation of Mondeo, although it bears the name of a fuel vehicle, it has the scientific and technological beauty of not transmitting pure electricity at all in the design. It adopts the latest "potential energy aesthetics" design concept of the Ford family, with penetrating light strips, split headlights, grille breathing 3D scaled grilles, hidden door handles and other configurations, which are matched with the streamlined swooping posture of the side slipback to ensure that the new generation of Mondeo has a full sense of sportiness and is more like the future technology sense of model 3.
It is worth mentioning that compared with the slightly cold Model 3, which has a sense of technology, the sense of ceremony brought by the new generation of Mondeo's lighting technology makes the whole vehicle more vital. When the owner approaches the vehicle, the "Wolong Awakening" welcome induction mode is turned on, not only the entire light group will gradually light up, but even the 3D scales on the grille will rise and fall, as if they will breathe and take the initiative to greet you, instantly giving the vehicle a humanized temperature, showing a sense of ceremony that is difficult to find at the same level.
There is no maximum screen, only a larger screen
More and more technology, more and more intelligent electronic products, accompanied by larger and larger screens, this has almost become a trend in the technology community, in recent years, whether it is mobile phones, home appliances or cars, without exception, all of them are making a big fuss on the screen.
Tesla can be said to be one of the first car manufacturers to let the oversized screen installed on the car, and it can even be said to have led the trend. Walking into the car of Model 3, the most eye-catching thing is the 15-inch touch LCD display, the entire central control interior almost does not have any superfluous decoration and physical buttons, many functions rely on this screen to achieve, quite a feeling of a future car. However, looking at the present, the competitiveness of this big screen of the Model 3 is much less than before.
Take the new generation of Mondeo, the ultra-wide area 4K HD screen composed of a 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD instrument cluster + a 27-inch central control screen will surely surprise consumers enough. The width of the entire screen is up to an exaggerated 1.1m, and it adopts a more intuitive and concise Ford's latest UI design style, the screen quality is clear, the display is delicate, and the arrogant configuration is simply newer than the new forces. Imagine sitting in the car after work, like entering a private movie theater, with a 10-speaker B&O stereo, and watching an exclusive IMAX movie becomes at your fingertips.
In addition to the strong hardware foundation, the soft power of the new generation of Mondeo is also worthy of recognition, which is equipped with a new generation of SYNC+2.0 intelligent interconnection system that is leading in the same class. With 70+ semantic speech recognition interactive functions, it can be easily done by turning on air conditioners, sunroofs and other commands. There are also configurations that Tesla Model 3 does not have, such as gesture recognition, FACE ID face recognition system, and VPA smart partners, and also supports many third-party application services such as iQiyi and QQ Music, which fully meet the daily car use scenarios of consumers.
In terms of practical operation, the new generation of Mondeo's car machine system not only covers a wealth of functions, but the most important thing is that its use logic is very clear, the response is rapid, and the human-computer interaction is very smooth, and it is not too much to say that it is the best car machine in the joint venture brand.
Objectively speaking, although independent brands have great advantages in the field of car machinery, Butt as a car company that started earlier in intelligence, whether it is in the recognition accuracy or response rate of the car machine, the new generation of Mondeo's SYNC+2.0 system can be regarded as the forefront of the industry, and it is more natural and smooth to use, bringing a very high sense of technology, ritual and temperature to the passengers of the whole car.
The smart driving experience is further advanced, enough to "wrench" with the Model 3
When it comes to smart cars, then automatic driving is definitely a topic that cannot be avoided. Much of what fascinates many young consumers is tesla's ability to lead in self-driving. Model 3 has buried all the hardware equipment when the vehicle leaves the factory, and there are great advantages in data accumulation, but it does not come standard with an automatic driving package, and it needs to spend 64,000 yuan to unlock the fully autonomous driving capability, and the cost is still relatively high.
In terms of the richness and price comparison of intelligent driving assistance functions, the new generation of Mondeo is completely comparable to or even surpassed compared with the Model 3. It is equipped with Ford's new generation co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system, with up to 18 active driving assistance functions, and a wealth of technology. The higher-end L2+ BlueCruise active driving assistance, referring to the configuration list of Ford's other fuel smart car EVOS, can be upgraded for only a few thousand yuan, which is very thick compared with the Model 3.
On this basis, the new generation of Mondeo is also equipped with the Ford Vehicle-Road Coordination System. That is to say, in the future, car owners can see real-time information such as traffic light information, traffic conditions, electronic road signs and other real-time information in front of them on the instrument and central control screen, which will help car owners predict risks in advance and allow people, cars and cities to have a deeper integration. The vehicle also supports OTA upgrades, and in the future, the system will cover the intelligent transportation system of more cities and break through the intelligent bottleneck of traditional fuel vehicles, so as to ensure that the intelligent driving experience of the new generation of Mondeo can be continuously improved and improved.
epilogue:
Although strictly speaking, the target users of the tram Model 3 and the new generation of Mondeo are not exactly the same kind of people. However, through the comparison of the two cars, it is not difficult for us to find that in terms of intelligent technology, the new generation of Mondeo has an extremely bright "high IQ" performance in terms of scientific and technological ritual sense, human-computer interaction, and driving assistance. Not only has enough confidence and courage to compete with new car-making forces such as Model 3 to compete with technology, but also further refreshes consumers' cognition of the intelligence of traditional fuel vehicles, and this dark horse, which is fully ahead of the same level of scientific and technological strength, will also break out of the siege and return to the leading position of the B-class car market.
