Changan Ford's new generation of Mondeo was officially launched on April 13, launching a total of 4 models, the official price range is 159,800-21.68 million yuan, in addition, Changan Ford also launched the "after-sales parts lifetime warranty" service for all vehicles. The people-friendly price and higher configuration have made the new generation of Mondeo win the title of "New Roll King" in the mid-size car market, and have won the attention of many consumers. So which of the 4 models launched this time is the best for you? This issue of the car purchase manual gives you the answer.
A quick recap of the new generation of Mondeo
Before analyzing the configuration, let's take a quick look back at the new generation of Mondeo. Unlike the previous designs that use the "Martin Face", the appearance of the new generation Mondeo adopts a very avant-garde design style, which has a feeling of a new force in car-making, which will make your eyes shine. In addition, this generation of models also launched an ST-Line version, with a dynamic red paint, very trendy, young, so that it is very prominent in its peers, but also easier to attract young consumers.
The details of the middle net are very novel, the LOGO adopts a concave design, and the surrounding scale armor decoration will swing up and down when the vehicle is unlocked, which is particularly dazzling in the light. In addition, aerodynamic performance can be optimized by parameterizing the angle adjustment.
The body size has been improved in all aspects compared to the previous generation, the length of the car is close to 5 meters, but the short rear design makes the sides not long, and with the two-color design and 19-inch wheel rim, the sporty atmosphere is created.
Compared with the front face and the side, I personally think that the design of the tail is somewhat low-key, although the designer has added a "ducktail" and a blackening treatment, but the high visual center of gravity and hidden exhaust layout are less sporty, even the ST-Line model is the same, a little regret.
Not only is the new generation of Mondeo very different from the past, but the interior is also very different. Sitting in the car, you will easily be attracted by this large joint screen with a length of more than 1 meter, which is not seen in the same level of opponents, even compared with the new car-making forces.
The size of the central control screen reaches 27 inches, the display resolution is also very high, and it has 4K picture quality. The large screen is built into Ford's latest generation OF SYNC+2.0 intelligent interconnection system, which provides multi-touch, AI speech recognition, face recognition, gesture control and other intelligent interactions. I personally like the split-screen mode, the main driver can listen to music or view navigation, while the co-pilot can watch videos or listen to songs, and support dual-zone Bluetooth, the two do not interfere with each other.
In addition, the ST-Line model is also equipped with the optional BlueCruise driver assistance system, equipped with 6 cameras, 5 high-performance millimeter wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic radars. Thanks to GPS positioning, ADAS map data, etc., in the 0-130km/h speed range of a specific road section, the driver can be supported to let go of his hands for a long time, and complete the automatic follow-up and steering functions, reducing the driving burden.
The powertrain is a highlight of the new generation of Mondeo, which is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 175 kW (238 hp) / 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 376 N·m / 2500-3750 rpm. Matched with Ford's self-developed 8-speed automatic transmission. Officially announced, 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 6.5 seconds (EcoBoost 245 luxury)
It is worth mentioning that this engine can be filled with No. 92 gasoline, which can save a lot of late car costs for the current soaring oil prices. In terms of fuel consumption, the official announcement is that under the working conditions of WLTC, the comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 7.11L/100km, which is lower than the fuel consumption of the previous generation model 1.5T engine, and the book data is very good.

Referral Index: ★★★
The all-new generation of Mondeo has launched a total of 4 models, of which the EcoBoost 245 fashion model is the most entry-level version of the series, priced at 159,800. Don't look at the price is very low, but the basic configuration is very rich, such as full LED headlights, 6 airbags, one-key start, keyless entry and other practical functions are standard, but the high-tech sense of the large screen and leather seats are not equipped, and the seat is still manually adjusted, the comfort configuration is not good, suitable for some entry-level consumers, recommended index ★★★

In addition, it is also mostly from the adaptation of near and far light, automatic headlights, exterior mirrors electric folding and other configurations, combined with less than 180,000 yuan of manufacturer guidance price, EcoBoost 245 luxury model is very cost-effective, is my most recommended model, recommended index ★★★★★

Model name: EcoBoost 245 ST-Line
Official price: 216,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
EcoBoost 245 ST-line is the top of the series, compared to the supreme type is 17,000 yuan more expensive, the main difference between the two is the use of ST-Line kit, the appearance is more youthful, dynamic. However, other increased configurations are not so strong, in a non-rigid state, the cost performance is not high, the recommended index: ★★★
summary:
From this configuration analysis, it can be seen that the new generation of Mondeo is coming with sincerity, first of all, the whole series is equipped with 2.0T+8AT as standard, and the power parameters have an advantage; the large joint screen of more than 1 meter is also comparable to the new forces of car manufacturing. However, the current mid-size car market can be described as a red sea, like the Japanese top three (Accord, Camry, Tianlai) and the German Maiten, Passat has long been firmly established, with a stable user base. And Regal, Mai Ruibao and other American models also have a large discount, the strength should not be underestimated, coupled with the performance of Ford in the past two years in the country is not prominent, the sense of existence is not strong, so whether the new generation of Mondeo can be turned over, it depends on the performance of the future market.
As for how to choose the 4 models, if you pay attention to the cost performance, the EcoBoost 245 luxury model is the most recommended, and if you pay attention to the car experience, the EcoBoost 245 Extreme model priced at 199,800 yuan is more suitable for you.
