In the B-segment market, whether it is a luxury brand or a common joint venture brand, the Audi A4L has always been the ideal choice for many consumers. After all, Audi as a first-line luxury brand, the brand power to give you enough face, 2.0T power performance is also very strong, space performance is also an excellent representative of the same level, so Audi A4L has maintained a relatively high sales.
But today the opponent of the Audi A4L is coming, it is the new Ford Mondeo, the new Mondeo after the major overhaul, the new model developed by the domestic team as the leader, why will it give the Audi A4L a head start? Follow the footage of our "Car 314" and compare the two cars together, and then you will understand why people are stupid enough to buy an Audi A4L.
Appearance: The contrast between the two cars is obvious, and the new Mondeo pays more attention to detail and polishes a sense of ceremony
The biggest part of the change after the new Mondeo is the ceremonial design, which brings people a refreshing feeling.
The exterior design of the new Mondeo adopts the latest family design style of Changan Ford, which is similar to the previously listed EVOS. The new Mondeo's daytime running light design is very fashionable and avant-garde, and the through-line day running lamp is highly recognizable. LED headlights are hidden in the rectangular decoration below, adding a touch of mystery to the originally stylish look.
In addition to the stylish design of the lighting part, the new Mondeo's central net adopts a 3D scale armor design to create a strong sense of movement. And when you approach the vehicle or unlock the vehicle with the car keys, the 3D scale mesh will do up and down breathing movements, pulling the sense of ceremony very full.
The new Mondeo has sleek side lines. The design of the D-pillar is very flattering, creating a slipback design. The wheel hubs of the ST-Line version are very sporty, and the red caliper design takes the sense of sport to a new level. In addition, the hidden door handle design further enhances the design texture, which is very much in line with the aesthetics of young consumers.
The rear design is still full of design. The new Mondeo's taillights feature a penetrating taillight design, and the taillights on both sides are very distinctive and recognizable. The English LOGO of "MONDEO" has been blackened to further enhance the fashion sense of the design. The roof has a shark fin antenna layout, the bottom is a hidden exhaust design, and the entire rear is designed to be very full.
Let's take a look at the exterior design of the Audi A4L.
The exterior design of Audi A4L adopts the design style of Audi family, and the interior of the hexagonal central mesh is decorated with a black honeycomb design, creating a strong sense of movement. The headlight shape design is unique, the daily running lamp design sense is very strong, and the headlight is integrated, and the recognition is extremely high. The shape design of the lower bumper is very Audi's charm and has a strong sense of sport.
The A4L's body side lines are relatively smooth, and the through-line waistline design creates a strong sense of strength. The five-frame wheel shape creates a strong visual effect, and the S-Line's nameplate design on the front fenders is very exclusive.
The rear design of the A4L is relatively ordinary, the design of the tail lights is relatively strong, and the recognition is relatively high when lit at night. The layout of the shark fin antenna is adopted above the roof, and the exhaust design of the bilateral single out is adopted below, highlighting the strength of performance.
Editor's summary: The exterior design of both cars is very good, from the overall point of view, the exterior design of the new Mondeo pays more attention to the polishing of details, the ritual sense of 3D scale armor in the net is very strong, and the through-type day running lights echo with the tail lights, and the design sense is very strong. Therefore, the exterior design of the new Mondeo is more attractive.
Interior: 4K through-view center console with B&O sound for the ultimate cinematic feel
After comparing the exterior designs of the two cars, let's sit in the car of the two cars and compare them to see who has the better interior design.
Inside the new Mondeo, the 27-inch central control screen and full LCD instrument form a penetrating panoramic center console, which fully measures the technological sense of interior design. It is worth mentioning that the 27-inch central control screen adopts a 4K high-definition screen, and the texture of the display is very clear and the brightness is softer. Paired with B&O sound, it gives you the ultimate cinematic feel.
The new Mondeo steering wheel also features a new design style, with a reasonable layout of the multi-function buttons for easy blind driving and a luxurious chrome decoration around it. The knob-style electronic gear has a strong sense of design, which further enhances the sense of technology in the interior design. In addition, the damping sense of P, R, N, D gears is very strong, which is convenient for feeling the gear of the hanging gear when operating.
Sitting in the Audi A4L car, the strong Audi atmosphere comes to the face, the suspension central control screen size is relatively large, the full LCD instrument is also matched on the high-end model, and the clarity of the two screens is very high, the UI design has a strong sense of technology, especially the visual experience of the full LCD instrument in the navigation mode is excellent.
The lower edge of the A4L's steering wheel is designed to be relatively flat, creating a sporty feel. The layout of the multi-function buttons is also more reasonable, but there is a big deficiency in the creation of a sense of luxury, the entire interior design is mainly dark black, and the design of the carbon fiber trim panel of the center console creates a strong sense of movement, but it gives people a feeling of some coldness. The design of the gear handle is relatively strong, and the combination of leather and metal is very textured.
Editor's Summary: The interior design of both cars creates a strong sense of technology. However, the interior design of the new Mondeo has a higher sense of technology, and while creating a sense of technology, a lot of effort has been made to create a sense of luxury, and on the whole, the interior design of the new Mondeo is better.
The spatial contrast is quite different: the new Mondeo's spatial performance has brought us many surprises
Both cars are positioned as mid-size cars, but in terms of spatial performance, the new Mondeo inherits the excellent genes of the American large space.
The body dimensions of the new Mondeo are 4935*1875*1500mm and the wheelbase is 2945mm. The vehicle's length of nearly 5m and the wheelbase of 3m give the new Mondeo a better spatial performance, especially in terms of the performance of the rear space, the new Mondeo can be said to lead the same level in both legs and lateral space.
The body dimensions of the Audi A4L are 4858*1847*1439mm and the wheelbase is 2908mm. The body size of the A4L is one circle smaller than the new Mondeo, and in terms of space performance, the rear space of the Audi A4L is not as spacious as the new Mondeo, and it is at a disadvantage overall.
Editor's Summary: The new Mondeo's body size leads the same level, and the rear space performance is a good interpretation of what is a luxurious space in the United States. In terms of space, the new Mondeo has obvious advantages over the Audi A4L.
The dynamic performance of the new Mondeo is very smooth and we are very impressed
The new Mondeo series is equipped with the new EcoBoost 2.0T turbocharged engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 238 Ps and a maximum torque of 376 Nm, and is equipped with an 8AT gearbox. Although this set of power parameters is not as good as the 2.0T engine mounted on the Ford Sharp Edge, it is enough to stand out from the crowd.
During our test drive, the new Mondeo's powertrain gave us the greatest feeling of comfort. The matching of the 2.0T engine to the 8AT transmission is very harmonious. During the entire test drive, almost no mechanical impact was felt, which is still difficult to find an opponent in the same level.
Audi A4L is equipped with three high, medium and low 2.0T turbocharged engines, of which the high-power version of the 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 252Ps and a maximum torque of 370N m, while the medium-power 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 190Ps and a maximum torque of 320N m, and the lowest power version of the 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of only 150Ps and a maximum torque of 270N m, and the whole series is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The power performance of the Audi A4L, in addition to the parameters of the 2.0T engine installed in the high-power version of the model can also be seen that it is a luxury brand, the medium and low power 2.0T engine has no sense of existence in the same class. Moreover, limited by the actual conditions of mainland road traffic, the shift impact of A4L is more obvious, and the dynamic smoothness is more general.
Editor's summary: Both cars are equipped with turbocharged engines of the same displacement, but the power performance of the Audi A4L is lost in the luxury brand temperament, although the high-power version of the 2.0T engine parameters are excellent, but the guidance price is close to 400,000. The new Mondeo has strong power, is well matched with the 8AT gearbox, and dynamic driving is very smooth, so overall, the new Mondeo has better power performance.
The new Mondeo is more practical and cost-effective
In terms of configuration, we selected the entry-level version of the two models for comparison, they are: the 2022 EcoBoost 245 fashion model with a pre-price of 159,800, and the Audi A4L2022 35TFSI fashion dynamic model.
Through comparison, it is not difficult to find that the Audi A4L has more configurations than the new Mondeo, such as fatigue driving tips, cruise control, leather steering wheel, paddle shifters, full LCD instruments, sports seats, headlight rain and fog mode, etc.
The new Mondeo is more practical than the A4L's extra configurations, such as passive pedestrian protection, tire pressure display, front keyless entry, concealed electric door handles, actively closed air intake grille, remote start function, rear cup holder, original navigation, voice recognition control system, internet of vehicles, OTA upgrade, rear air conditioner outlet and PM2.5 filter.
Editor's summary: The difference between the configurations of the two cars is not very obvious, and the configuration of the Audi A4L pays more attention to luxury, such as leather steering wheel, induction wipers and so on. However, from the perspective of the new Mondeo with a guidance price of 306,800 A4L compared with a guide price of only 159,800, the A4L has no cost performance, only one brand power is left, and whether the brand premium is worth using close to 150,000 yuan to buy, or it is still debatable.
Write at the end:
Audi A4L has a good sales performance in the domestic automotive market, but compared with the new Mondeo, the aura of Audi A4L does not seem to be so brilliant. The new Mondeo has an avant-garde fashionable and ceremonial exterior design, a more technological interior design, a wide car decoration space, super power and a super high cost performance, from the overall point of view, the new Mondeo is the most recommended model compared to the Audi A4L.
