For the automotive market, no matter how times change, performance is still the biggest competitiveness.
On April 22, a "race to dominate the track" about performance and the control of B-class cars kicked off at the Chongqing Youth Hui Peak Speed Track. This race of track domination, initiated by the new generation of Mondeo, attracted the "peak challenge" of the 2.5L Toyota Camry and the 2.0T Volkswagen Magotan.
In the end, the new generation of Mondeo won the throne of "B-class car control king" with the fastest lap time of 1 minute and 03 seconds. Volkswagen Magotan and Toyota Camry finished second and third with 1 minute 08 seconds and 1 minute 11 seconds respectively.
The battle for the pinnacle, the king of performance
As the first professional racing track in Chongqing, the Youth Hui Peak Speed Track has 17 different turning radius corners, 6 left turns, 11 right turns, the maximum drop between the height and height of the track is 20 meters, from south to north for the long downhill, the southernmost end of the track is a typical 180 ° corner, so winding and rugged track, so that the course becomes more exciting and tense.
On the day of the event, a new generation of Mondeo was driven by professional drivers for a lap challenge. Each car is tested only two laps, with the best lap speed as the final result. The new generation of Mondeo in the second lap after the warm-up, showing the impressive performance and handling strength, finally won the championship of this challenge, while creating a "peak record" for the B-class car on this track.
With the younger car buying group, more and more models are taking the sporty route, especially in the B-class car market, whether it is Japanese or German, they are changing their models to be more sporty. But most of these models only have a sporty appearance, but they do not have a "strong heart" that can match it. It's hard to find a B-Class car on the market that has enough driving pleasure.
The new generation of Mondeo, which has just been launched, has become a benchmark product in the B-segment car market with a high-power 2.0T engine + 8AT automatic transmission as standard in the whole series. At the same time, adhering to the new generation of Mondeo, which adheres to the century-old Ford sports gene, it must become the "control king" in the B-class car market.
Nowadays, the "comfort faction" represented by Japanese family cars has largely sacrificed the sports attribute and pursued the shock absorption effect brought by the "soft bottom". Although The German products are more supportive and also take the lead in equipping the "T-powered" engine, they always give people an impression of being too calm.
On the other hand, Changan Ford, when Fox first entered the domestic market, pioneered the use of independent suspension rear wheel system in the field of 100,000-class family cars, and people were immediately impressed by the overall handling it brought. Of course, the Fox also became the hottest family sports car of the year. Not to mention Ford's great results in various international racing events.
To a large extent, the word "Ford" has almost become a symbol of automobile sportsmanship.
From the track to the street and back to the track, Ford, with the performance and handling advantages of the new generation of Mondeo, once again pulled the competition in the automobile market back to the competition of core strength.
Not only is it the peak of performance, but also the pioneer of science and technology
Of course, in today's automotive market, the competition in products is not limited to performance. The comprehensive improvement of configuration, space, and technology can truly have enough "hardcore" strength.
Configuration level, the new generation of Mondeo The most exciting thing is SYNC+ 2.0 Zhixing interconnection system and other scientific and technological equipment, sinking to 179,800 yuan luxury type, the two major pain points for young people to choose cars are sports and intelligence, Ford's network technology was originally ahead of the same level of joint venture, and now the configuration sinks, which will undoubtedly effectively enhance the attractiveness of products. The high-end version has the Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System with the famous Danish B&O brand audio, panoramic electric sunroof and 18 intelligent driving assistance functions in the range of 200,000 yuan. The industry's first mass-produced V2I vehicle-road coordination system is connected to the urban intelligent transportation system, allowing drivers to have insight into the road ahead. Compared with the opponent, the new generation of Mondeo also has a cost-effective advantage of more than 20,000 yuan in configuration.
At the level of intelligence and technology, the new generation of Mondeo has raised the industry standard to a higher level. It does not simply "copy" the current popular intelligent equipment, but opens up a more advanced intelligent assistance system outside the "track".
The new generation of Mondeo is equipped with Ford's next-generation Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System. Its L2+ autonomous driving function, BlueCruise Active Driver Assistance, makes it easy to achieve "quasi-automatic assisted driving" on selected sections of highways and urban expressways.
In addition, the new generation of Mondeo is equipped with Ford's first mass-produced vehicle-to-road coordination system, based on the cellular vehicle networking (C-V2X) technology, the vehicle is connected to the urban intelligent transportation system, and the system automatically takes over the "red light stop, green light line", under the premise of ensuring safety, under the current vehicle-road coordination conditions, to achieve easy driving to the greatest extent.
epilogue:
From domestic cars to mid-to-high-end cars, handling capabilities have never changed as Ford's "super symbol."
Of course, true sportiness is not limited to straight acceleration and dynamic parameters. More importantly, based on its excellent handling ability, it brings higher driving limits and smaller tilt amplitude... Judging from the results of this "track race", the new generation of Mondeo's understanding of the sense of superiority has long been deeply rooted in its genes.
