Once upon a time, in the domestic automobile market and the minds of domestic consumers, there was a clear division of models of various levels. From the price, we can clearly see it. For example, in the past, in the price range of 100,000-150,000, the car was basically a class car without suspense. If it rises to more than 150,000, until 250,000, it is nothing more than the B-class cars of various brands.
But in this era, in the current era, when new energy is menacing and the consumption environment is constantly maturing, it seems that everything is a bit chaotic. Today's A-class cars, some of which can be bought for less than 100,000. What's more, in order to seize the market, the B-class car was sold to the price of the former A-class car. For example, the recent pre-sale of Ford Mondeo, the entry level is actually set at 159,800, which can make the car market fry.
Coinciding with the recent listing of a new car from SAIC Volkswagen, the Lingdu L, with a price range of 149,900-189,900. This time, let many netizens can't help but put the two cars together to compare, similar prices, one is a joint venture B-class car, one is a joint venture A-class car, how to choose seems to be "send points"? In fact, this is really a "mistake-prone problem". Don't believe me, listen to my analysis for you.
At first glance, the two seem to be not comparable, because the Lingdu L is at most an A+ class product in the strict sense, while the Mondeo is a standard B-class car. But from another point of view, as long as the prices coincide, there is a sense of contrast. So, we might as well look at these two cars from the perspective of misplaced competition. The first is Mondeo, as a heavy work of Changan Ford's ten years of grinding a sword, the replacement of Mondeo can be described as full of sincerity, not only in terms of price to the freezing point, the product strength can also be described as remarkable.
Because there are too many reports on the Internet about it, the author will not dwell on it in detail here, but only lists its highlights. First of all, as a new replacement model, the appearance of the replacement Mondeo is newly designed by Ford China, and the designs of split headlights, breathing dragon scale nets, and suspended roofs are designed for the tastes of Chinese consumers.
Secondly, its interior also has a big breakthrough, up to a meter of large screen full of science and technology, rich in functionality, and the interior in terms of workmanship, materials are not lower than the thickness of the original Mondeo. Finally, there is the size, as a standard B-class car, its length reaches 4935mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2945mm. Whether it is compared with the same level of Japanese players or German players, they are not inferior. Finally, it is the 2.0T+8AT standard of the whole series, and the book data is indeed very fragrant.
Let's talk about Lingdu L, which is also a well-known product in the A+ market after all. At that time, a sentence of "luxury wide-body coupe" made many people realize that the original coupe was not limited to the price of CC, and the price of A-class cars could also buy joint venture coupe products. Nowadays, the replacement of Lingdu L also has drastic changes, the appearance has become more "electrified", through the headlight belt, sneaky back shape, frameless doors, through the taillights and other designs are still the magic weapon to attract young people. In terms of interior, it also broke through the use of SAIC Volkswagen's first dual screen, with a patterned trim, bright stitching, exquisite gear handles and a new style of three steering wheels, it looks no less refined than a higher level of Mondeo.
In terms of power, because the Lingdu L is an A-class car after all, it is not equipped with a 2.0T engine like the Mondeo, but uses a well-known 1.4T turbocharged engine, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Although it is not a strong motivation, the daily household needs of young people are completely enough.
Speaking of this, many friends may have to say, so if you look at the mechanical quality alone, the budget is obviously more cost-effective to buy Mondeo. Indeed, if you are looking for power and size, I recommend you choose the Mondeo for these two cars. But conversely, not everyone buys a car for power. In contrast, the exquisite shape of this Lingdu L, frameless door and slipback design is also an important product force component, if you really want to spend less than 200,000 yuan to choose a frameless door joint venture coupe, I am afraid that there is no better choice besides it.
