I believe that using "rolling the sky" to describe the current domestic joint venture B-class car market is the most suitable. Take the sales situation, before the Japanese "three musketeers" close to hand-to-hand combat, after the Volkswagen "high-end car" chased and blocked, and even citroën, which has been silent for a long time, also launched the Versailles C5 X of "don't make money, make a friend" to seize the market.
So who is the "king of the rolls" of the rolls? In my opinion, the new generation of Mondeo that has just been unveiled seems to have quite potential, because it is one of the few B-class cars with a standard 2.0T+8AT power combination and a wheelbase of 2945mm in the current 150,000-yuan joint venture brand, which is really the price, power and space that the Chinese people care about when buying a car.
According to this premise, the lowest fashion type (pre-priced at 159,800) seems to be the most cost-effective choice, and it is true that even if the price is less than 160,000, Ford has also made enough money on it.
For example, sunroof, active intake grille, LED headlights, exterior mirror heating, keyless entry, one-button start, leather multi-function steering wheel, automatic air conditioning, PM2.5 filtering device, reversing image, automatic parking, 7 airbags and so on are all configured. There is no problem in meeting the needs of daily driving.
However, if you really want to experience the essence of the new Mondeo, I personally recommend adding 20,000 pieces of the last low-end luxury model (pre-priced at 179,800).
First of all, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument and the 27-inch Dalian screen combination is only equipped with this configuration, and this large screen with a length of 1.1 meters, the super visual impact is undoubtedly one of the core competitiveness of the competitors, and its resolution has reached the 4K level, and the built-in SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system is more convenient in the interface UI and control logic.
Secondly, this configuration model is also more likely to look face, first of all, the double-color body and leather/fabric mixed seats are selected in this configuration, and the wheel hub has been upgraded to 18 inches, making the whole car look more imposing from the outside to the inside.
In addition, in the convenience configuration, the rearview mirror electric folding, rain induction wiper, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, reversing radar, fixed speed cruise and other configurations have been added, making the car more convenient and easy to use in daily driving, and also in line with the degree of "electrification" that a B-class car should have. After all, you have all gone to this level, and you don't want to manually dial the wiper rocker when it's raining, right?
Finally, in the safety configuration, the knee airbag and the driver assistance system including parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking and other functions have been added, adding a lot of driving safety factors. It cost 20,000 yuan to upgrade the iconic Dalian screen and complete the active and passive security configuration, and the money was also worth the money.
And the plus more than 20,000 upgrades of the Supreme type, its core configuration is nothing more than more adaptive cruise, 10 speakers B&O audio, these two configurations in my opinion, in addition to the adaptive cruise slightly valuable, the rest of a lot of entertainment features, the overall car experience is not much improvement.
If you add more than 20,000, you will come to the top of the series ST-Line version, which in addition to the sports kit and the ventilation and heating of the front seats are more interesting, personally feel that this money is not expensive. Of course, if you're on a budget and eat this set of sporty designs, then I didn't say that.
In general, the new generation of Ford Mondeo's body, power and platform architecture have been comprehensively innovated, and its product strength has undoubtedly returned to the first-line B-class car lineup, and this time Ford has come up with the courage of "breaking the boat", and has come up with a pre-price of 15.98-21.98 million, which has attracted the attention of many potential consumers. As for the follow-up performance of this car, we will continue to pay attention!
