When it comes to american brands with good control, many consumers will think of Ford. Fox, in particular, is known for its excellent chassis. In fact, in addition to the A-Class, the B-Class Mondeo also has quite good athletic performance, and was once the car of the movie 007 Bond. On March 18, Changan Ford announced the pre-sale range of the new generation of Mondeo, starting from 159,800 yuan, which can be described as sincere. So, what are the product highlights of this new car?
Equipped with a giant LCD screen, the sense of technology is quite strong
The most eye-catching highlight of the new generation of Mondeo is that it is equipped with a giant LCD screen with a length of more than 1.1 meters. Inside the car, this design gives people a very strong shock. If you don't say that this is a fuel vehicle, I believe that many consumers will feel that the new Mondeo is an electric vehicle.
It can be said that in terms of creating a sense of science and technology, the new generation of Mondeo does not lose the current new car-making forces. In addition, in the joint venture brand, Changan Ford's car engine system also has certain advantages.
The new car is equipped with the SYNC+2.0 Intelligent Travel interconnection vehicle system, which realizes deep localization in terms of functionality. For example, a speech recognition system specially developed for the Chinese market can easily implement various functions by simply calling out the wake-up word "Hello, Ford". For example, operating navigation, playing music, querying the weather, etc., the speed of recognition by the system is also quite fast.
In addition, it is understood from the official that the new Mondeo car machine system, in addition to supporting speech recognition, also supports multi-touch, gesture control, facial recognition and other interactive methods, which can meet the operating habits of different users.
It is not inferior to the new power of car manufacturing, equipped with a large number of intelligent driving assistance systems
For consumers, how a car's driving assistance system performs has become one of the key considerations for car purchases. The new generation of Mondeo is equipped with the Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System, which is quite intelligent.
It is officially understood that the system contains 18 intelligent driver assistance configurations. Among them, the BlueCruise active driving assistance function is particularly interesting. It is reported that after opening this function, the vehicle can achieve "quasi-automatic assisted driving" on some highways, during which the driver will not be required to hold the steering wheel all the time, but the camera system in the car will monitor whether the driver is distracted by the road conditions.
It is known from Ford that the BlueCruise system has been developed and tested for a long time to fully verify the safety of use in atypical road conditions. Of course, how the real performance of the system is after it is turned on, it still needs to wait for the real car to experience it. In addition, the new car also supports OTA upgrades, which can continuously upgrade the consumer's car experience.
The whole series is equipped with 2.0T+8AT, and the power system is sincere
For a mid-size car, the powertrain is particularly interesting. The new generation of Mondeo is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 238 horsepower. In the same class of models, there are certain advantages. The maximum torque reached 376 Nm, demonstrating the excellent performance level of the Ford brand.
In terms of transmission, the car manufacturer matches the new generation of Mondeo with an 8-speed manual transmission. Compared to the dual-clutch gearbox equipped with some competitors, it is much thicker. The high-spec automatic transmission not only provides better driving smoothness, but also significantly improves the vehicle's fuel economy.
Public opinion: For Changan Ford, the importance of the new generation of Mondeo is self-evident. Judging from the product highlights, the new car is indeed eye-catching enough. Whether it is a 27-inch giant horizontal LCD screen, up to 18 items of intelligent driver assistance configuration, or the 2.0T+8AT power system that is standard in the whole series, it has certain advantages in the same level. Combined with the pre-sale price range announced this time, it is even more cost-effective. Of course, for Changan Ford, whether it can convert these product advantages into orders also requires more efforts by car manufacturers in brand building and experience marketing.
