It should be noted that the ultra-long joint screen is not equipped on the entry model.

Second, the model configuration highlights and recommendations

The 2022 Changan Ford Mondeo entry model is a fashionable model with a starting price of 159,800, which is quite attractive for a joint venture mid-size car. The car is equipped with functions such as delayed headlight off, remote start, and actively closed air intake grille in the external configuration. Inside, the vehicle is also equipped with GPS navigation, Internet of Vehicles and Bluetooth telephony. In terms of safety configuration, the car is also equipped with common configurations such as tire pressure monitoring and automatic parking, which can be said that the entry-level model is not a problem to meet daily use. However, the disadvantage is that the electric adjustment of the main passenger seat, the front and rear parking radar, the driver assistance and the lack of one-piece large screens are more or less slightly insufficient in terms of car use. If you're on a budget and don't need much for details, you can opt for an entry-level model.

Third, the difference between the recommended model configuration analysis

In terms of safety, the car also adds full-speed adaptive cruise, front and rear parking radar, etc., which can directly pull its function full. The above configuration, only need to pay 20,000 yuan more, is definitely worth the money.

As for the top-of-the-line st-Line version, the car only adds a sporty appearance kit, automatic parking, 360-degree panoramic imagery and front seat heating/ventilation functions than the recommended model, although these configurations have improved the practicality to a certain extent and are better in the creation of a sense of sport, but the extra 17,000 yuan is obviously not worth it, and the overall cost performance is slightly lower. Overall, the new Mondeo 2.0T EcoBoost 245 Supreme has a more outstanding price/performance performance and can be prioritized when purchasing.
