The "game" between car companies has become more and more intense, and each new car that is about to be launched or has been listed has a strong pertinence. Recently, Ford's new generation of Mondeo announced a pre-price, 159,800-21.98 million in the field of joint venture B-class cars, quite eye-catching. Then again, the new generation of Mondeo, whose face is this punching? Magotan? Camry? Or the Accord? There is no possibility that it is meant to "kill all"!
Because from the perspective of product strength, the new Mondeo is not weaker than these three "big brothers", especially in terms of space valued by the majority of Chinese people, showing a strong competitiveness. Specifically, the new Mondeo has been lengthened to 4935/1875/1500mm and has a wheelbase of 2945mm, which is one lap larger than That of Magotan, Accord and Camry. Theoretically, the new Mondeo has a better ride than its competitors, after all, the size has been overwhelmingly victorious.
However, don't be happy too soon, the new Mondeo seat configuration is not very good, the entry-level model is a fabric seat, the second low is a leather/fabric mixed seat, and the secondary top and top match are leather/flared material mixed seats. Maybe this configuration level is not outstanding in the domestic car camp, but if you have seen the 179,800 Camry still uses fabric seats, you will think that this is not a big deal.
In terms of seats and space aside, in terms of power that everyone agrees to care about, the new Mondeo is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT gearbox with a maximum horsepower of 238 Ps and a maximum torque of 376 N·m. At this time, looking at the Accord, Camry, Maiten and other competitive models, the one that suffered the most "critical hit damage" should be Maiteng's 280T model, because it uses a 1.4T engine, the maximum horsepower is only 150Ps, the maximum torque is 250N·m, and the matching gearbox is still a dry dual clutch. Moreover, the price of 280T Magotan is not cheap, even if you count the discount, the price is 167,900-190,900 yuan (quoted by dealers in Chengdu).
In addition, in the current young people are more concerned about the intelligence, the new Mondeo is also not lacking in points of view, the car up to 1.1 meters long central control screen, resolution up to 4K level, the sub-top and top models also with gesture control, facial recognition and other functions. Even if it is the 13.2-inch central control screen of the entry-level model, it also has the functions of Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, language control, etc., which is better than the entry-level configuration model experience of Camry, Accord, and Maiten.
Finally, in terms of configuration, we took 219,800 yuan as the standard, respectively, selected the ST-Line version of Mondeo, the Sharp Collar version of accord, the 2.5G luxury version of camry, and the 330TSI leading model of Maitan for comparison. It can be found that in terms of security configuration, the new Mondeo has more intelligent configurations, while camry's basic security configuration is more abundant, which is specifically reflected in the number of airbags. In addition, the new Mondeo also has 7-color mood lights and Bang & Olufsen brand audio, which further enhance the luxury of the whole vehicle.
In general, from the perspective of space, power, configuration and other aspects, the new Mondeo has shown relatively strong strength, especially space and power, which can be said to be an overwhelming victory. At the same time, its configuration degree is still relatively rich, and the overall cost performance is higher. Of course, The Magotan, Camry, and Accord cars also have their own characteristics, such as the low fuel consumption of this hybrid Accord, the obvious business temperament of the Mago, and the higher safety of the Camry.
But in terms of car experience, I prefer the new Mondeo. Therefore, in my opinion, regardless of the brand value, the new Mondeo may really "kill" the Accord, Camry and Maiten in the same price range. However, from the price point of view, the new Mondeo this time may make the volkswagen coupe - Lingdu L very "embarrassing", after all, it also has a price overlap range, and from the appearance of the shape, I do not think that Mondeo will be worse than the Lingdu L with a frameless door. What do you think about that?
