The editor has something to say:
In this era of electrification and SUV models selling well, the market development of its mid-size vehicles has begun to heat up both domestic and foreign brands. As one of the representatives of the American mid-size car, but also one of the representative models of the domestic medium-sized car, Ford Mondeo has always had a very good performance and reputation in the B-class car market, in the domestic market, changan Ford will be a new generation of Mondeo.
Buying recommendation: The introductory EcoBoost 245 fashion model - the guide price is 159,800 yuan, and the configuration is biased towards the basics. The 20,000-piece EcoBoost 245 luxury model has a more comprehensive configuration, but the EcoBoost 245 Extreme is just the configuration of the high-configuration model. As for the top version, we don't need to say, as long as you have enough budget, you will definitely give it priority. As for the dynamic experience of the new car, we will give you a report on the test drive when we get it. (Photo: Source Network; Text: Liu Yu, Editor)
