With the increasing per capita disposable income, many consumers' desire to buy medium-sized cars is still high, and the sense of sports + large space may be the target sought after by such "family".
Not long ago, after a period of silence, Ford Mondeo also ushered in the official listing. Unlike in the past, the new Mondeo is that a group of Chinese designers participated in the design process of the new car and developed it for the preferences of domestic consumers. Obviously, Mondeo has taken pains in this regard. In today's domestic market, there is also a Nissan Tianlai that focuses on sports + large space, what spark can these two spark? Without further ado, you may wish to follow in the footsteps of the professor and take everyone to answer them one by one.
Although both cars are medium-sized cars, they use different tonal design languages. Ford Mondeo visual effects are more prominent, the proportion of the body has become more coordinated, and its "potential energy aesthetics" family design language, compared with the previous models of the more calm and atmospheric appearance, the new car as a whole shows a unique personality more in line with the appetite of contemporary young people.
In this era of good looks, Nissan Tianlai adopts the design language of V-Motion 2.0 concept car, the slender waist line and tight tail are more in line with the aesthetics of young people, and the injection of more fashionable and young elements contrasts strongly with the business style of the old model.
In terms of the appearance design of the two cars, the professor believes that "each flower enters each eye", so how to choose it depends on the aesthetics of the owners.
In terms of interior, for the luxurious texture atmosphere, the two can only be said to have their own advantages. The interior design of Mondeo ushered in earth-shaking changes, the center console is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument + 27-inch Dalian screen, and the two screens form a huge screen of more than 1 meter in length, which is indeed very fashionable at the moment. The detailing is also a plus, you can find that the interior is covered with a large range of leather, and the addition of chrome trim strips and metal decorative panels instantly improves the sense of sophistication.
In addition, Ford Mondeo's active safety configuration is also quite complete, from the sub-low model is equipped with knee airbags, lane parallel assist, lane keeping assist, road traffic sign recognition, active braking system, fatigue driving tips, reversing side warning and other safety assistance functions. As for the comfort configuration, it is equipped with leather + fabric mixed seat, main/passenger seat power adjustment, temperature zone control, in-car PM2.5 filter device, etc. This price can get these practical configurations, which is really very generous.
Entering the interior of the nissan tianlai carriage, it can be seen that its overall central control design is relatively simple, and the sense of atmosphere is more inclined to home and tradition, but it is wrapped with soft materials where the skin can touch, which is definitely a big blessing for "detail control".
In addition, the active safety configuration of Nissan Tianlai is relatively inferior, and the 2.0T low-end, sub-low-end model version and 2.0T low-end model are not equipped with lane parallel assist, lane keeping assist, active braking system, lane departure warning these functions. The self-priming version of the sub-low-end model is not much in the comfort configuration, but compared to the Ford Mondeo, the comfort configuration of Tianlai is still slightly inferior to the safety configuration, but it can still meet the daily car needs of the vast majority of consumers.
Spatial performance is a good trick for both Mondeo and Tianlai. The ford Mondeo is 4935/1875/1500mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase part is 2945mm, compared with the old model, the wheelbase part has increased by 95mm, and the increase is quite obvious. Compared with luxury brands on the market such as audi A4L and BMW 3 series, Mondeo with wheelbase growth also occupies an absolute advantage, which is really good for people who care about rear space.
The body wheelbase and overall size of the Nissan Tianlai are slightly inferior to the Ford Mondeo, but due to the characteristics of the Japanese system, the center of gravity of the design has been close to the rear passengers, resulting in its row seat space is not inferior to the Ford Mondeo, coupled with the Multi-Layer ergonomic seat to provide a good sense of support and wrapping for the driver's body, there is still no major problem for a long time.
The new Mondeo series is powered by Ford's fourth-generation EcoBoost 2.0T turbocharged engine, and the drivetrain is matched by an 8-speed manual transmission. The engine sits on a maximum output of 238 Ps and has a peak torque of 376 N·m. It is worth mentioning that the car accelerates from 000 kilometers in only 6.5 seconds, but it still needs to add 92 gasoline to feed.
Although turbocharging has become the mainstream of the times, Nissan Tianlai still provides two power layouts of 2.0L self-priming and 2.0T turbo for consumers to choose.
The 2.0L self-priming version is equipped with the third-generation MR20 engine, the self-priming engine + CVT stepless variable box power combination, extremely smooth power output is one of its highlights. The 2.0T version is equipped with a VC-Turbo engine with a maximum power of 243Ps, and the officially announced fuel consumption level of as low as 6.6L per 100 kilometers is really surprising.
In fact, it can be seen that the power level difference between the Ford Mondeo and the Nissan Tianlai turbo version model is not large, and the Nissan Tianlai only has 5 more horsepower, which is almost negligible.
Overall, the comprehensive strength of the two models is indeed beyond doubt, and the advantages of the interior space and the configuration of the car are also very obvious. Combined with the price, The cost-effective advantage of Ford Mondeo is very obvious, and the starting price only needs 159,800 yuan to get a 2.0T+8AT powertrain B-class sedan, which is definitely a big blessing for consumers who care about driving pleasure.
As one of the "three aces of the Japanese series", Nissan Tianlai has a cash discount of 30,000 yuan in Guangzhou, coupled with the blessing of good brand awareness, it is definitely a "true fragrance" model of the same level of competitors. Then, how to choose these two models, I believe that many consumers have the answer in their minds.
