The joint venture brand has always emphasized the quality of "joint venture", advocating comfortable driving quality and excellent power experience, but in the environment of local car technology, there will eventually be car companies to lose, in addition to Hyundai, Kia, Citroen, Peugeot, Chevrolet, Ford as a long-standing legendary car brand also fell silent. When the market thought that the Ford brand disappeared, it came back with Ford EVOS and Mustang Mach-E, as well as three new cars from the new Mondeo, from product design to functional configuration, a comprehensive innovation, of which the new Mondeo as a new car with wheelbase comparable to the B+ Class sedan, gave a starting price of 159,800 yuan, redefining the "mid-level car cost performance", but considering its pricing distribution of 15.98-216,800 yuan, which model has the highest cost performance?
In the past people generally entangled in the power configuration problem, the new car directly gave a more sincere solution, the whole series of standard 2.0T + 8AT power combination, the maximum power of the engine 238 horsepower, the peak torque of 376 Nm, only from the power parameters, has surpassed the dynamic performance of most of the competitors, matched with the tooth ratio of the more dense 8AT gearbox, smoothness and gear change response speed compared to the previous generation of products have a certain improvement.
The power configuration is the same, so the difference between the four models launched by the new Ford Mondeo is focused on the functional configuration. Specifically, the entry-level model is a fashion model, the guidance price is 159,800 yuan; the sub-low-end model is a luxury model, the guidance price is 179,800 yuan; the secondary top model is the supreme type, the guidance price is 199,800 yuan; the top model is ST-Line, the guidance price is 216,800 yuan, according to the difference between the models, the previous configuration can be upgraded to the next configuration with a price increase of 20,000 yuan each time.
The highest cost performance in the same level: fashion type Recommendation index: ☆☆☆☆☆☆
Among them, the fashion model as an entry-level model to the new Ford Mondeo has brought the greatest market appeal, with B+ class body size, length, width and height are 4935/1875/1500mm, wheelbase reached 2945mm, at a price of less than 160,000 yuan can get the space experience comparable to "Taurus", from the product positioning, power configuration, space performance alone, the choice of this model has been "invincible".
In addition, the fashionable type is equipped with a reversing image, but there is no reversing radar, and there are some shortcomings in the practicality of the function, but it can be compensated by adding it later. It is worth mentioning that this model is also equipped with an 8-inch LCD instrument and a 13.2-inch central control large screen, even though the functional configuration is slightly "shabby" compared to the medium and high, but with the mainstream joint venture competitors, its car machine is not only larger in size, but also integrates GPS navigation, Internet of Vehicles, OTA, voice recognition control and other functions, plus keyless entry, rear exhaust air outlet, remote start, rearview mirror heating, automatic air conditioning and other comfort functions, even compared with Citroën Versailles, it can still be called the best cost performance of the same level.

Add 20,000 yuan to the price of the fashion type, you can relax the purchase of models to luxury types, and the guidance price of new cars is 179,800 yuan.

The choice for comfort: Supreme, ST-Line Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆☆
Compared with the previous two models, the configuration of the sub-top extreme type (guidance price of 199,800 yuan) and st-line (guidance price of 216,800 yuan) is more abundant, paying more attention to the quality, safety and experience of the car, replacing the larger 19-inch exclusive rim, completing the driving assistance function, upgrading to L2 level driving assistance, and adding a front parking radar, a segmented open panoramic sunroof, a mobile phone Bluetooth key, a mobile phone wireless charging, a leather-like seat, a main driver's seat memory function, a 10-speaker B& O audio, facial recognition, gesture control, 7-color atmosphere lights, rearview mirror reversing automatic downward and other functions, the overall configuration performance is more inclined to comfort, safety, if the pursuit of comfort, more recommended supreme type, cost-effective slightly higher than ST-Line.
epilogue
Talking about "cost performance" is inevitably inseparable from the price, the new Ford Mondeo at a price of 159,800 yuan to sell gave the entire market a "surprise", breaking the inherent market pricing rules, with a 27-inch integrated screen and 2.0T + 8AT, as well as B + class sedan size of the product force features refreshed the value cognition of China's medium-sized car market, can not be described as cost-effective. Of course, for consumers who love it, if it is simply the pursuit of cost performance, then the fashion type is the best choice, if the pursuit of comfort quality, it is recommended to choose the luxury type, these two products are subverting the market cost performance.
