How much is the price of a mid-level sedan reasonable?
Looking at the mid-level cars on sale on the market, the Accord starts at 169,800, the Camry starts at 179,800, the Passat also costs 179,900, and if you're going to say Versailles, its entry-level is really cheap, but sorry, it's not big enough to pass the passing line of a standard flagship mid-range car, so when I see the pre-sale price of the new generation of Mondeo, I do have a silly feeling, "Is this the price that Mondeo should have?" ”
159,800 sold, 10,000 cheaper than the Accord, 20,000 cheaper than the Camry Passat, under the price, the whole series of standard 2.0T+ 8AT, the standard industry's first mass production of the vehicle-road coordination system, automatic assisted driving and other functions in addition to the entry-level version, the rest of the several configuration models are equipped, so from the price point of view, Mondeo is not only three major pieces than other joint venture intermediate cars are real, in terms of technology configuration is also very willing to spend money. This should be Ford's answer sheet after painfully thinking about it, and my evaluation is that this generation of Mondeo is really fragrant.
From the most basic styling, this generation of Mondeo and the previous difference is very large, this may be the reason for the Chinese leading design, in terms of my personal aesthetic, I want to prefer the Martin face design, of course, the new car's styling highlights are also very many, mesh net, hidden door handles, Mustang taillights, more radical on the road to rejuvenation.
In terms of interior, the previous Ford interior is really difficult to say, pure black, very abrupt air outlet, etc., there are many slots, but the recent Ford new car is really in line with my appetite. The overall layout is simple, the screen size is very large, but many netizens say that they don't like this design, but in fact, in the last test drive process, when the screen really lights up, it gives me a sense of immersion that will be much better than the traditional model.
And the driving control has always been Ford's strength, Mondeo is also the first joint venture flagship model that focuses on the driving control sport, so the new car is also sincere in terms of power, as we said earlier, the new car is a combination of 2.0T+8AT of the whole series, 175kW maximum power, 376N·m peak torque, compared to the Accord's 1.5T+CVT, Camry's 2.0L+CVT, or Passat's 1.4T+ dual clutch, its hard power is stronger, not to mention the price of Mondeo is much cheaper.
However, for this new car, I am most satisfied with intelligent technology. SYNC+2.0 car machine system, is my personal opinion of the joint venture car machine TOP2, the other is the Volkswagen ID series model machine, these two models of the car machine both response speed and voice recognition accuracy are very good, especially the Japanese car machine compared with them will have a significant sense of gap.
On the other hand, this car is equipped with a vehicle-road coordination system, which is the most core technology of the future car or urban transportation, which can provide us with road information outside the field of vision by linking the car, road infrastructure and other clouds, such as what is the remaining time of the traffic lights in front, how fast I need to be to wait for the next red light, etc., which has a positive effect on travel efficiency and driving safety, which is not available in other models.
Written in the end: As a Ford owner, I have an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of Ford products, Ford driving control is very distinctive, but Ford's dedication to the three-cylinder also makes me very speechless, it can be said that I love and hate Ford, but in the face of this generation of Mondeo, objectively speaking, its product strength and price are beyond my expectations, it is indeed a very valuable model, to which I can only say: "True fragrance."
