But if you're after practicality and aren't interested in those trendy configurations, then the entry-level version is also totally worth considering.
EcoBoost245 luxury

Referral Index: ★★★★★
Up is the luxury type with a pre-price of 179,800, which is 20,000 more expensive, but the overall configuration improvement is still quite obvious. First of all, in terms of exterior color, starting from this version, the new Mondeo began to provide two-color car colors, providing black + indigo blue, black + bright moon white, black + neon gray, black + fishing fire red, black + jade plate white five two-color car colors and ink cloud black monochrome car color, while providing black + gray interior configuration.

In terms of configuration, this version basically has no shortcomings, the iconic Dalian screen has it, the active security configuration is also aligned, and the price is not high, so this version is the most recommended version.
EcoBoost245 Extreme
Pre-sale manufacturer guidance price: 199,800 yuan
The Premium model, which is pre-priced at 199,800, is the second top model, and compared with the deluxe model, it has added a black and red interior color, while the wheel size has been upgraded to 19 inches, the fixed speed cruise has also been upgraded to adaptive cruise, and the sunroof has also become segmented. In addition, it also has more rearview mirror memory, exterior mirror reversing automatic downwards, automatic anti-glare inner rearview mirrors, 7-color mood lights, flip-up seats, 10-way electric adjustment of the main driver, main driver seat memory, mobile phone wireless charging, car air purifier, face recognition, gesture recognition, Bluetooth key, 10-speaker B&O audio, front parking radar and other configurations. These are more advanced in the car, suitable for consumers who are looking for comfort and have a relatively high budget.
EcoBoost245 ST-Line
Pre-sale manufacturer guidance price: 219,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
Finally, the ST-Line version with a pre-price of 219,800 is equipped with a sports kit in terms of appearance, and with a black and red interior, the overall atmosphere is more sporty. In terms of configuration, compared with the Supreme Edition model, it adds 360 ° panoramic image, paddle shift, front seat ventilation and heating, co-pilot seat waist support and AR real-life navigation, from the cost performance point of view, personally feel that this 20,000 yuan is not worth it, so this version is suitable for consumers who do not have bad money and like its sporty appearance.
The competition in the domestic B-class car market has always been fierce, and it has always been Japanese cars such as Accord/Camry/Tianlai and German cars such as Maiten/Passat that dominate, while American models rarely have bright performance. But with the arrival of Changan Ford's new generation of Mondeo, this situation may change, although it can not immediately shake the status of Japanese German B-class cars, but in this market there is still a share of this strength. Compared with the old models, the new Mondeo has been greatly improved in terms of exterior design, interior technology, configuration space and power. Therefore, if you are interested in it, then I recommend you to consider the low-end luxury type, the pre-price of 179,800 yuan is more sincere, and there is almost no short board in the configuration, plus the powertrain of 2.0T+8AT and the super cool Dalian screen of 1.1 meters, which will be a good choice for 200,000 mid-level cars.
