As a B-class car with a price as low as 150,000 yuan, there are so many "benefits", which can be described as proper happiness.
As the flagship product of Ford Sedan, the new generation of Mondeo is developed by the Chinese design team and is accurate to domestic consumers. The whole series is equipped with a 2.0T+8AT powertrain as standard, with a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 376N·m. With a high-value sports appearance and generous body size, the engine system and active and passive safety configuration have also undergone a subversive upgrade.

The front face adopts the design of split headlights, and multiple sharp lines depict the flexible shape, bringing a visual impact of rigidity and softness. The sneakback-like body shape emphasizes the sporty nature, and the double waistline design, blackened three-poster taillights, and the subduction posture created reinterpret the brand's sports proposition. The new generation of Mondeo body length, width and height are 4935 * 1875 * 1500mm, of which the wheelbase reaches 2945mm, which surpasses most B-class cars in size, and the interior space has a leapfrog advantage over models at the same price.
Mondeo adopts a wrap-around cockpit design, and the stretched cabin atmosphere significantly improves the sense of quality in the car. The 1.1-meter-long giant screen that spans the center control is the focal point, integrating a 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD dashboard and a 27-inch oversized true 4K central control screen. Among them, the 12.3-inch LCD dashboard concentrates on AR navigation, entertainment, road condition mode and other functions, and the complex information is clear at a glance; and the 27-inch central control screen supports Ford's first "joint driving fun" function in the industry, through the split screen, the whole screen of the free switching, can allow the main and co-drivers to drive together, while improving driving pleasure and increasing driving safety.
In the car part, Mondeo is equipped with Ford's latest generation of car and machine system SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, integrating advanced Baidu artificial intelligence technology and rich Internet application ecology, supporting multi-dimensional interaction methods such as multi-touch, AI voice recognition, gesture control, facial recognition, etc., combined with Ford's world's first visual virtual artificial intelligence assistant VPA Zhixing partner, which can continuously learn the preferences of car owners.
The Mondeo premium model is also equipped with the famous Danish B&O brand audio, panoramic sunroof, the second generation of AAR enhanced "Blue Shield" intelligent Xinfeng system and Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System, including Ford's world's first L2 active driving assistance function BlueCruise. The industry's first mass-produced V2I vehicle-road collaboration system is connected to the urban intelligent transportation system, allowing drivers to have pre-insight into unknown road conditions.
The new Mondeo entered the market at a low price, setting off a wave in the B-class car market, as a classic car, whether the new generation of Mondeo can return to the mainstream "track" with the upgraded product force, it is worth looking forward to.
