It has become an indisputable fact that those who win the B-class car win the world.
In the face of the continuous intensification of competition in the domestic car market in recent years and the continuous emergence of consumption upgrades, more and more consumers will lock in the replacement target of about 200,000 B-class cars, for no other reason, first of all, B-class cars can not only take into account practicality and comfort, but also carry the full landing of the latest technology of car companies; secondly, there are many models that can be selected in the 200,000 price range, whether it is a Japanese Camry, Accord or German Maiteng, Passat, they all have their own cluster.
It is true that the above models do have a good reputation basis in the market, but for many young consumers, they are also not perfect, such as The Japanese car generally has a small displacement, the power experience is average, and the comfort and design of the German car will be relatively boring.
So, is there a better B-Segment option for younger users? The arrival of a new generation of Mondeo may be an infallible choice.
Of course, in order to better reflect the characteristics of the new generation of Mondeo's "how fast and good to save", we select the 245 Supreme model that is currently paying more attention, and compare it with the leading version of the Maiteng 280TSI DSG at the same price (the guidance price is 209,900 yuan, hereinafter referred to as "Maiten"), the Camry 2.0G deluxe version (the guidance price is 199,800 yuan, hereinafter referred to as "Camry"). In this way, everyone can naturally know.
High appearance, space transcendence, home preference
What is the most important thing to see when buying a B-Class? Eye rim, eye rim, or eye rim, important things must be said three times. As a travel carrier that can take into account both home and quality, B-class cars need to open up the gap with the entry-level A-class family cars in terms of appearance and vehicle aura. Because of this, the key to determining whether a B-class car is good or not lies in the design and aura.
In terms of design alone, the new generation of Mondeo can be said to be a lot ahead of its peers. Unlike the business stability of Magotan all the way to the black, the moderate soul under the skin of the eight generations of Camry sports, the new generation of Mondeo once again carried out the high-level sports style to the end. Sharp split headlights are breathtaking at a glance, and the 3D parametric scale grille can breathe when unlocking the vehicle, and the sense of ceremony is full. At the same time, the new generation of Mondeo also adopts a sneaky body, a ducktail and a sporty through-line taillight, with a face value, sports and aura in one step.
If B-class car users pay attention to the spatial performance of the vehicle, then the new generation of Mondeo this time not only did not disappoint, but even gave a lot of surprises. The new car has a length, width and height of 4935/1875/1500mm and wheelbase of 2945mm, Magotan has a length, width and height of 4865/1832/1471mm and wheelbase of 2871mm, respectively, and Camry has a length, width and height of 4885/1840/1455mm and wheelbase of 2825mm. In this way, the performance of each space can be judged superiorly and inferiorly.
It is not difficult to find that the new generation of Mondeo has a more advanced size and luxurious interior space, while still implementing the high-level sports style in the appearance, such a performance, even in the face of B-class "old cannon" players such as Camry and Maiten, also has the strength and confidence.
The whole series of 2.0T+ 8AT, driving control to give a full surprise
If design and aura are the first thing that determines whether a B-class car can stand out in the market, then the driving experience is the key to determining whether the car can continue to exert strength. Once upon a time, the number of cylinders and displacement were the basis for measuring whether a car was advanced or not, because the better the car, the more extreme the power performance.
However, with the continuous significant global energy conservation and emission reduction trend in the past decade, the best-selling Japanese, German and other B-class cars in China have begun to popularize 1.4T and 1.5T engines on a large scale, such as Maiteng providing 1.4T engine options early, Accord fuel version of the entire series equipped with 1.5T engines, Camry, although the entry is 2.0L engine, but the matching CVT transmission obviously does not want you to drive fiercely.
Is it that in the face of policy orientation, B-class cars can only become more and more "meat"? The new generation of Mondeo was the first to stand up and say no. In fact, since entering the Chinese market, Mondeo has always had a good driving performance, and the previous generation of Mondeo has become a sports benchmark in the same class and is deeply loved by consumers. As a re-inheritance of the Mondeo sports gene, the new generation of Mondeo continues the essence of the car series for many years and implements the sportiness to the end.
First of all, in terms of power, the new generation of Mondeo does not make a power distinction between the model configuration, the whole series is equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine as standard, the maximum power is 238 horsepower, and the peak torque is 376 Nm, only the data point of view, it has been flush with the high-power version of the German luxury B-class car.
In contrast, the Maxon 1.4T engine at the same price point has a maximum power of only 150 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm; the Camry 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 178 hp and a peak torque of 210 Nm.
Secondly, just as the so-called good horse is equipped with a good saddle, whether the power of a car can be perfectly output to the wheel, the transmission will play a decisive role. The new generation of Mondeo comes standard with an 8AT transmission, which is superior in terms of sportiness, dynamic responsiveness or overall reliability.
In contrast, The Magotan is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, which will cause bumps in frequent traffic jams; camry can simulate a 10-speed CVT transmission, although the starting response and smoothness are good, but the CVT itself can not withstand large torque, and the structure itself determines that it cannot drive smoothly.
Finally, in terms of control, the new generation of Mondeo this time the chassis of the material is very sincere, the front and rear use of independent suspension, and equipped with aluminum alloy control arm, aluminum alloy control arm is not only lighter than cast iron material, the strength is also higher, help to improve the accuracy of the vehicle when cornering, the handling is naturally better. I have to say that in the invisible place, the new generation of Mondeo is still surprised.
The higher the price, the greater the value, the recommended 245 Extreme type
After comparing the design, size, and power, I believe that everyone has a clear understanding of the new generation of Mondeo, so the next question is, which of the four versions of the new generation of Mondeo is more cost-effective? If I want to say that it is the 245 supreme type, that is, we often say that the "sub-top match" is nothing.
First of all, in terms of appearance, the new generation of Mondeo 245 Supreme is equipped with through-LED daytime running lights, 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and the comprehensive aura is more in line with the positioning of its advanced sports B-class car.
Secondly, coming to the car, in addition to the most distinctive 1.1-meter large screen, the 245 Supreme type is full of scientific and technological effects, and is also equipped with a two-piece panoramic electric sunroof, 10-way electric adjustment/memory of the driver's seat, B&O brand audio + 10 speakers, and LC intelligent pilot assistance system.
Although the higher the configuration, the more expensive the price, such as the new generation of Mondeo's luxury type compared to the fashion type, the supreme type compared to the luxury type, the price of each car increased by 20,000, but in the actual comparison, their respective configurations have been more than 30,000 yuan. In other words, buying a new generation of Mondeo, the higher the price-performance ratio, which is why the author recommends the 245 Supreme.
If we compare the new generation of Mondeo 245 Extreme with the same price of Magotan and Camry, we can find that the latter two are not as good as the new generation of Mondeo 245 Extreme in terms of appearance configuration, intelligent technology configuration, safety configuration or comfort configuration. In this way, the new generation of Mondeo does have stronger value attributes.
Write at the end:
As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley. After some comparison, it can be found that the new generation of Mondeo has an almost crushing advantage in terms of design, size, space, configuration, technology and power, compared with camry and Magotan at the same price, and behind this advantage is the result of the continuous deepening of Ford's concept of "in China, for China".
It is true that models such as camry and Maiten have accumulated high popularity and reputation in the domestic B-class car market, but in the face of absolute strength and value, the author believes that the new generation of Mondeo that will be listed will still have enough confidence to compete with Japanese and German B-class cars, and is even expected to become another hit for Ford in the Chinese market.
As for how to choose the specific configuration, the author's answer is still the 245 supreme type.
