Even so, this generation of Mondeo has become the most "cheap" Mondeo in history.
In addition to the great sincerity in price, as a model developed by the Ford China team for Chinese consumers, the new car has shown elements that are extremely "pleasing" to the preferences of the Chinese people in many product strengths.

Specifically, the new generation of Mondeo adopts Ford's new family design language of "potential energy aesthetics", through extensive market research and local research, in-depth understanding of the unique views and preferences of Chinese consumers on beauty, the overall appearance, sports and youthfulness are taken into account.
The front end of the car is a sharp forward-leaning posture, while a slender, highly powerful sharp line extends backwards, running through the side of the body, and intersects with the strong shoulder line and the smooth and stretched roof curve at the rear of the car, depicting the overall agility and speed of the body, and also making the wind resistance coefficient of the new car reach 0.293Cd.
The day-running lights that run across the front face have two angles on both sides of the body that resemble traditional Chinese calligraphy, further enhancing the lateral width of the new car. Inspired by modern architectural curtain walls, each grid has a different shape, size and angle of arrangement. When the driver unlocks the vehicle, a welcome sensor system called "Crouching Dragon Awakening" is activated, the "scales" in the scale grille will fan, and the front/tail lights will be lit sequentially from the inside out, like a dragon opening its sharp eyes.

This extra-long fish screen integrates a 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD instrument cluster and a 27-inch 4K central control screen. Among them, the 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster integrates AR navigation, entertainment, road condition mode and other functions. The 27-inch central control screen supports Ford's "joint driving fun" function, through the free switching of split screen and whole screen, multiple functional interfaces can be displayed at the same time, and the screens in front of the main and co-drivers are projected on each other to achieve the effect of interaction.

The new body length 4935* width 1875 * height 1500mm, with the largest 2945mm wheelbase in its class, whether it is driving or front and rear seating is very stretched. The front row is 180cm for adults, and the rear row can also guarantee a longitudinal space of almost 5 punches, and the horizontal space is also very impressive.

This Fourth-Generation Ecoboost 2.0T engine, based on Ford's many internationally awarded star models, is rated at 175 kW and has a peak torque of 376 N·m. Matches the upgraded 8AT gearbox. The new car also features three driving modes: Standard/Energy Saving/Sport.
According to the preferences of Chinese users, the new car has made deep improvements to the chassis and body structure, reduced the steering force at parking and low speed, steered lighter, adjusted more comfortably, and handled more smoothly, and also adopted a lightweight aluminum alloy lower control arm, so that the control of the new car will not become bulky because of the length of nearly 5 meters.

But the market is changing rapidly, changan ford changes are not up to the expectations of the market, consumers, breaking the deadlock of Changan Ford in China, only the new generation of Mondeo with sales to prove.
