From beginning to end, the Honda Accord, regardless of each generation of products, the scene in the Chinese market has been applauded, not only the heat of the topic but also the attention has been far ahead of the same class of B-class cars.
In the past Three months, sales directly exceeded 20,000 units, capturing the hearts of mainstream consumers with their youthful sports style. But yeah! This time, the next door home, Ford Mondeo, also learned the essence of the Accord's young concept, and the product route is even more the same, and the pre-price is only 159,800.
So the question is, Mondeo (pre-price: 15.98-219,800 yuan) is close to the people, and the product power can also be compared to accord (guidance price: 16.98-25.98 million yuan)?
As mentioned earlier, both have taken the young route, so the design in the shape can be described as a full use of the body, the Accord in the front face design, more low and flat, visual effects are full of combat style. It should be known that most of the Owners of accords today are young people aged 22-28. So it attracts the attention of young people.
The new Mondeo should be the youngest and sportiest generation in the past models, and the design elements such as the dynamic scale grille and the unique headlight group are very sharp, and the impact of the design has satisfied the aesthetic appetite of many young consumers, and they also have to sigh: "The current car design is quite explosive." "Driving on the road can be a feast for the eyes~~
Length, width and height: 4906/1862/1449mm, wheelbase: 2830mm
Length, width and height: 4935/1875/1500mm, wheelbase: 2945mm
To the side, both cars have a major feature, both use a slippery back shape, the proportion of long front and short tail, there is indeed no sense of violation. However, a closer look at the size will find that Mondeo is completely crushed on the Accord, and the wheelbase alone reaches 2945mm, and the Accord is only 2830mm, the difference is still relatively large.
In other words, it's clear that Mondeo's interior is better, and the actual level of legroom in the back is really commendable, even if a 1.8-meter rider sits in it, there is no sense of cramping. However, what is not very flattering is that the length of the cushion is actually a little short, and it cannot be fully supported for the thighs.
On the other hand, although the wheelbase is not dominant, Honda's exclusive "MM" space concept has played a very high space utilization rate in accordance with the Accord, and the rear legs are more generous, not losing Mondeo at all. In addition, the angle of the Accord rear seat cushions will be somewhat straight.
Of course, overall, both of the space aspects have reached the mainstream level, to meet the daily use of basically no pressure, if the role of a good helper for home is fully in line with the standard.
In the interior part, accord is biased towards the conventional layout, but the adapted LCD instrument, central control large screen, electronic gear, etc., create an atmospheric, luxurious atmosphere, and the details of the material large area of soft, leather coating, visually sitting on the advanced sense of experience, is worthy of the positioning of the B-class car.
The most attractive thing about Mondeo is the large joint screen of nearly 1.2 meters, so that the entire interior exudes a strong scientific and technological atmosphere, and in order to pursue a minimalist style, the layout of a large number of physical buttons is reduced, most of the functions are integrated in the central control screen to operate, and the display effect is naturally very intimidating.
(Low-end version of Mondeo)
However, from the information currently released, it is necessary to start with a large-size joint screen from the second low-end, otherwise the low-end model just enjoys the ordinary dual-screen layout.
The power part, the combination of the dual powertrain provided by Accord, is also a major killer, which is the 1.5T power + CVT gearbox, and the 2.0L hybrid + E-CVT gearbox, the former with a maximum horsepower of 194Ps and the latter with a comprehensive power of 158kW.
At the driving level, the biggest highlight of the Accord 2.0L hybrid is that most of the working conditions are mainly pure electric drive, the driving quality is more smooth and linear, coupled with the strong explosive characteristics of the electric motor, the power output is also relatively heeled. The focus is that the NEDC comprehensive 100 km fuel consumption is as low as 4.2L/100 km, and the money-saving artifact is available.
The Mondeo series is equipped with a standard 2.0T power + 8AT transmission, the maximum horsepower is 238Ps, the maximum torque is 376N·m, compared with the same displacement model, it is already a lot of mainstream high power level, I have to say, very close to the BMW 3 Series 330 sequence of power.
The key is that 2.0T power others need to add No. 95 gasoline, Mondeo 2.0T power Remember, it only needs to add No. 92 gasoline, so in the era of soaring oil prices, there is no car owner who does not envy models that can add No. 92 gasoline. After all, compared with No. 95 gasoline and No. 92 gasoline, filling a tank of 50L fuel tank can also save dozens of dollars.
So, which is the most worth buying? Ultimately, it's time to go back to the configuration and market terminal price.
The Accord is equipped with practical attributes, which can only be said to continue the tradition of "buying an engine and sending a car", and the entry-level version is only equipped with 3 airbags, tire pressure alarm, PM2.5 filter device in the car and other functions. However, functions such as keyless entry, reversing image, mobile phone interconnection, and internet of vehicles have only begun to be equipped with the sub-low version.
Fortunately, accord some time ago alleviated the problem of order backlog, if there is no big change, the current discount will basically be maintained at about 10,000, and the probability will last for a year and a half, the preferential range is stable.
Therefore, although the configuration level of Accord is slightly inferior, the advantage of price undoubtedly enhances the cost performance of Accord.
Mondeo from the lowest match, the configuration is more sincere, the standard reversing image, keyless entry / start, car networking, full LED headlights, etc., these are more commonly used in daily functions, and the key is that the price is only 159,800, which is placed in the B-class car, not to mention the Accord, which can already beat many other competitors.
Overall, the Honda Accord and Ford Mondeo are very close in orientation, with stylish appearance and spacious space, which can be described as suitable for all ages.
However, the biggest secret weapon of the Accord is that it has the excellent driving quality and low fuel consumption performance of the hybrid system, which is more in line with the low fuel economy of the car scene. And the terminal discount is also quite attractive.
On the other hand, Mondeo is absolutely generous this time, with 2.0T power as standard, more practical configuration, pricing is also very close to the people, if you don't care about the fuel consumption of the hybrid system, compared to Mondeo is undoubtedly worth the fare. So in the end, how will you choose, welcome to leave your answers~
