The new Mondeo pre-sale starts from 159,800, B-class positioning + standard 2.0T, which cars should panic?

In mid-April, Ford's new Mondeo will be officially listed, and many netizens have jokingly called the car a product of the "inner roll", after all, this is not only a standard B-class car, but also a standard 2.0T engine. What's more, the new Mondeo also came up with a "killer weapon" - a pre-sale price of 159,800 yuan. It is clear that Mondeo is determined to return to the mainstream, and its pre-price also reflects the seriousness of the "inner volume" of the B-class car market. Which cars will panic when the new Mondeo arrives? Today I'm also going to talk to you about my point.

Model 1: Geely Xingrui, the guiding price range is 113,700-15.27 million

It is undeniable that Geely Xingrui's own product strength is relatively balanced, A+ class size, the whole series of standard 2.0T engines, combined with the guidance price of Xingrui, the cost-effective advantage of the car is quite outstanding. However, Geely Xingrui is 4785, 1869 and 1469mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2800mm, although the size is not small, but compared with the standard B-class car like the new Mondeo, its size will not be dominant.

Although The Star is equipped with a 2.0T engine as standard, its maximum power is only 190 horsepower (140 kW) and the maximum torque is only 300 N·m, which is still some gap with the new Mondeo. At the same time, Xingrui is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, which will also have some setbacks in the stop-and-go road conditions, compared with the 8AT gearbox used by the new Mondeo.

Of course, Xingrui is not completely useless, at least the price is one of its advantages. At the same time, The high-end models of Xingrui also have high-end intelligent driving, automatic parking and other functions, and their overall configuration is also relatively rich, and in the competition with Mondeo, the configuration of Xingrui will not fall behind. However, from the perspective of comprehensive product strength, Xingrui is still slightly weak.

Model two: Mazda Onksela, the guiding price range is 115,900-18.99 million

Most of the consumers of Axela are young people who prefer to control, so everyone may also be more willing to choose The Axela's 2.0L model, and the guide price of the model has actually intersected with the new Mondeo. At the same time, the maximum power of the Engine of The Axela is only 158 horsepower (116 kW), the maximum torque is only 202 N·m, and there is a significant gap with the new Mondeo, while the Axela is equipped with a 6AT gearbox, although its gearbox shift logic is very clear, the comprehensive performance is excellent, but the power is still one of the shortcomings of the Axela.

As a joint venture model, the configuration performance of The Axela can only be said to be decent, its high-end model has an active safety system and intelligent driving function, and the car is not equipped with seat heating, ventilation, Internet of Vehicles and other functions, and its overall configuration is at a disadvantage compared to the new Mondeo.

Of course, The Axela's strength lies in the handling, although it is equipped with a front McPherson-rear torsion beam non-independent suspension, but its rear suspension is a variant of the SEB butterfly bionic suspension, with Mazda's precise tuning, The Axela itself has excellent handling. However, Ford's own suspension tuning skills are not weak, and the new Mondeo uses a combination of front McPherson-rear multi-link independent suspension, which is also good for maneuverability. Overall, The power and configuration of Unxella is still at a disadvantage compared to the new Mondeo.

Model three: Kia K5, the guide price range of 16.18-20.58 million

Although the Kia K5 itself is not well mixed, as a joint venture B-class car, its positioning also overlaps with the new Mondeo, and the two naturally form a competitive relationship. More importantly, Kia's current situation in China is similar to Ford's, and both belong to second-tier joint venture car companies, which is the time to compete for sincerity. In terms of price, the Kia K5 is already in the ascendant, after all, its 2.0T model threshold reached 195,800, relatively speaking, Mondeo's sincerity will be more sufficient.

For the two-car joint venture B-class car, the configuration of the two is also comparable, Kia K5 series of optional configurations are more abundant, such as Kia K5 with models need to choose to reverse the side warning system, top models also need optional seat heating, ventilation, compared to the new Mondeo, Kia K5 part of the configuration of the equipment rate is relatively low.

In terms of size and power, Kia K5 and the new Mondeo are almost at the same level, both of which use a 2.0T+8AT power combination, but Kia K5 also provides a combination of 1.5T+7 dry dual-clutch transmission, which is not as sincere as the new Mondeo. In terms of size, the Kia K5 and the new Mondeo are both more than 4.9 meters long, and neither of them is small. Overall, the price and configuration of Kia's K5 are at a disadvantage compared to the new Mondeo, and the cost performance is slightly lower.

Summary: Having said all this, in fact, I do not want to express how cost-effective the new Mondeo is, after all, the configuration of its entry-level model is low, and the second-lowest model is universal, but its guidance price reaches 179,800. Or to put it another way, 179,800 is the real starting price of the new Mondeo, which is a bit of a disappointment. From the new Mondeo, it can be seen how serious the "inner volume" of the domestic automobile market is today, of course, behind the "inner volume", the majority of consumers are benefited.
