On March 18, the new Mondeo officially opened the pre-sale, has no way to remember when Ford's mid-level sedan last major overhaul, from the once popular sports car to the current no one cares, this car hurt the hearts of countless friends who like Ford and old owners, fortunately, this time Mondeo brought about enough surprises, it is like you are waiting for a person, waiting until you are about to give up, suddenly she came, and it is more glamorous than you remember.
The appearance of the new Mondeo can hardly find any trace of the current model, the "Martin face" is gone, replaced by almost the same design as on the Ford EVOS, split headlights, octagonal breathing kinetic energy scale mid-net, lower grille and blade design, it looks a lot less sharp but more refined.
The side adopts a small slip-back shape, the roof and exterior mirror shell are also painted with contrasting black, with red calipers, still showing its sporty side, hidden door handles will automatically pop up when you approach the vehicle, and a small sense of ceremony is still to be had.
The tail uses a large number of folded lines to create a layered shape, the upper part of the trunk is a small black tail wing, going down is a penetrating taillight, the lampshade shell also uses the popular transparent style, the black lower surround with the design of the air duct, aerodynamics This piece is also considered to be careful, slightly regrettable that its exhaust pipe is designed to be hidden.
Come to the car, if the Ford LOGO is covered, many people will mistakenly think that this is a new energy vehicle, because its central control siamese screen is too long, reaching 1.1 meters (27 inches), its display effect is delicate enough, the sensitivity is also very good, the car machine in addition to the entertainment APP such as iQiyi, but also loaded with SYNC+2.0 intelligent internet car machine system, and provide support for multi-touch, AI speech recognition, gesture control, facial recognition and other multi-dimensional interaction methods, its entire central control design is very concise, The physical buttons are almost all integrated into the screen, and the sense of technology is in place, but if you are driving it for the first time, you will definitely be busy. In terms of materials, Mondeo still upholds Ford's thickness, the car is full of soft material wrapping, it is worth mentioning that its door panel and the center console on both sides of a red decorative belt connection, so that the car does not look too dull.
The impression of volkswagen Passat and Magotan in the mid-level car space is one of the best, even so the brothers' wheelbase is only 2871mm, the new Mondeo's wheelbase is exaggerated 2945mm, 1 meter 75 height sits in the back row, the leg space is about a small arm, can easily the legs of the Erlang, the bulge of the central floor of the rear row is not high, the size 43 shoes are vertically stepped on the top of the handbox there is still a distance, which is almost the level of a C-class car. The spacious interior space does not affect the space of the trunk, and the base volume of the 510L is also the mainstream level of the same level.
Ford has always been not stingy in terms of power, luxury brand Lincoln also uses V6 engines, Explorer's 2.3T is also rare in the same class, although there is no large displacement on the Mondeo, but it is also the whole series of EcoBoost 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, its maximum power is 238 horsepower (175 kW), the maximum torque is 376 Nm, the transmission system, will match the 8-speed manual automatic transmission, this power system is not unfamiliar, its power output is smooth and direct, the gear shifting speed is fast enough, The setback is not obvious, what is important is that ford's official acceleration of 0-100km is only 6.5 seconds, which is much faster than the competitors.
Overall, the new Mondeo has changed really big, it has a new look (whether it looks good or not depends on personal vision), a full of technology interior, leapfrog space and super acceleration performance, Combined with its price of 15.98-21.98 million yuan, Ford this time is quite a bit of a broken meaning, the temptation is very large, especially the low-end model will bring a lot of impact on the 2.0T version of models such as The MureXL and Sonata, the smaller displacement but more expensive Accord and Passat in front of it can not bargain for half a point, the consumers of the mid-level car only recognize the brand, the appearance of the new Mondeo will make them tangled in the selection of the car, you say?
