Ford Mondeo, how many people in this car still remember it? However, at that time, the Ford Mondeo was definitely a phenomenon-level model, Martin's face made it a hit, and the excellent power and configuration were also blessed by The Ford aura, making it the first choice for many families to buy mid-level cars.
New and old Mondeo
However, Ford's lack of ambition is well known, Fox has not updated in eight years, and Mondeo is also. After the Mondeo explosion, Ford did not know why it stopped the renewal of the Mondeo, leaving this phenomenal model in the cold, so that many owners now forget that the existence of this car is now.
Recently, Ford Mondeo finally has a new action, the new Mondeo will be officially listed on March 18, and announced the pre-sale price: 18-24 million yuan, the price is not to say whether the pricing is reasonable (anyway, the pricing of 100,000 people also say that he is cheaper than 50,000 he will buy), the key is to see the car itself.
This time Ford Mondeo can be said to be a comprehensive upgrade, especially in terms of appearance, it is no longer the shape of Martin's face, but the sporty style still exists. The large polygon grille is still retained, but the design is no longer so similar to Martin, but adopts a design similar to Ford EVOS, especially the through-led light strip and EVOS similar to the split headlights, this car is a sister model of EVOS.
Although the tail adopts a lamp group design similar to a wild horse, but due to too many straight lines, the overall visual feeling is a bit old-fashioned, which is very different from the original Mondeo's flexible design, and this tail design personally believes that it is a bit of a failure.
The side of the body is also similar to the EVOS design, especially the hidden door handle, the overall feeling is still relatively sporty, sci-fi and smooth, but also uses a 19-inch whirlwind wheel, the overall style is still relatively sporty. In terms of body size, the three circumferences of 4935/1875/1500mm and the wheelbase reached 2945mm, which guaranteed the space and met the needs of the Chinese family.
Interior, also adopted a Ford's current popular three-screen design, is a length of 1.1 meters of huge screen, including a 12.3-inch LCD instrument and 27-inch 4K central control screen, yes and EVOS exactly the same, in fact, it is not difficult to see that Ford is now like Volkswagen and Audi learning, similar design styles are used in different cars, which actually saves costs while also increasing consumer choice, anyway, we are all the same, which model you like at will.
The new model also pays attention to a lot of human interaction things, such as grille welcome mode, voice control and automatic driving in the car, these are the mainstream of the current car, and the overall configuration, Ford Mondeo is not too bad, such as B&O audio, leather seats, as the flagship of the Ford family, for the time being, it is still worthy of this name.
Power, 2.0T four-cylinder, maximum power 175kW, peak torque 376N·m, power and torque compared to the current model has been improved, and matched with the 8AT gearbox, in fact, in the same class of car performance is quite OK, can not be considered very prominent and not very weak, the intermediate car is actually the main products are still similar.
This car is said to be only for the Chinese market, and I heard that there is no longer a Mondeo in the European and American markets, and I don't know if the rumors are true. And this car obviously uses a lot of EVOS design, can be regarded as a car version of EVOS, anyway, the EVOS chassis is not high, it is relatively easy to change a car. And although EVOS was well received at the beginning of the listing, but now it is also a flag, it is said that the sales are very dismal, it seems that it is to use the name Mondeo to another wave, the SUV seamlessly switched to the car, then the problem comes. Does Mondeo still have a good market appeal today? Can EVOS really fire without a fire name change?
