From 159,800 yuan, it is equipped with a new 2.0T+8AT powertrain, and the interior space is also excellent in the B-class car. The arrival of the new Mondeo with its price and product strength instantly rolled up the domestic B-class car market. Prior to this, we have conducted an in-depth analysis of the static and dynamic parts of the new Mondeo, and interested friends can look through the previous video content.
Today, Lao Wang still wants to talk to you about the new Mondeo, but it is not the top match of the previous test drive, but the low match priced at 159,800 yuan. Because in general, for consumers in the B-class car market, the introductory beggar version does not seem to be the most purchased model, on the one hand, the vehicle configuration is relatively low, not in line with the needs of B-class car users; on the other hand, many car companies will not even produce the beggar version of the model, even if there is, it is mostly supplied to the rental company or the car market.
So will this be the case with the new Mondeo? Let's answer the second question: Can the low-end Mondeo really be bought?
To this end, Lao Wang specifically consulted several Changan Ford dealers in Chongqing, and the answer was that the new Mondeo fashion model would be sold, but the main sales model would be medium and high, and the low-end model would be scheduled for sale according to the order, and the waiting time would be slightly longer.
Obviously, the low-end car sold for 159,800 yuan is not a gimmick. Indeed, for Changan Ford, the Mondeo car has been cold in the B-class market for many years, in addition to relying on mechanical quality and intelligence, if you want to attract consumers, you can only rely on the price to reawaken people's desire to buy. If you throw out a starting price of 159,800 yuan, but the terminal can't buy a car, isn't that smashing your own signboard?
So what about the performance of the new Mondeo's version of the car model? Is it worth waiting for everyone to buy? Let's move on.
Starting from the appearance part, I want to distinguish the high and low models of the new Mondeo, mainly looking at the color matching and rim. In the high-end model, the new Mondeo adopts a double-panel design of black top + body color. The low-end model is a monochrome shape, from an aesthetic point of view, there is no difference between the two, just one looks more traditional and the other is more sporty.
Secondly, in terms of rim size, the low-end model uses 235 width 55 flat ratio 17-inch tires, compared to the high-end model of the "big foot", the visual experience is indeed much worse, but the thicker tire wall should bring better filter performance. It is worth mentioning that even in low-end models, the active breathing grille is not absent.
Compared with the exterior, the main difference in the interior of the low-end model is that it is not equipped with a fashionable looking "fish screen". This also makes the interior of this low-end model look more elegant, and may also be more in line with the public aesthetic. Although the screen size has become smaller, in fact, the built-in functions of the low-end model car are still relatively complete, still equipped with The Ford SNYC+ system, and the conventional language recognition, navigation and even OTA upgrades are not absent. In this regard, the new Mondeo's low-end model should be the most "smart" car in the current domestic B-class car market.
As for the comfort configuration, as a low-end car, we naturally can't ask for too much luxury. Although the fabric seat does not look very advanced, it is fortunate that there will be no cold winter and hot summer. However, even if the main driver, the low-end model is not equipped with electric seats, which is also the routine operation of the joint venture entry B-class car. Of course, as a low-end car, the new Mondeo is still equipped with one-button start, automatic parking, automatic air conditioning and sunroof configurations, which can basically meet daily use. It is a little regrettable that the low-end model is not equipped with fixed speed cruise, which is not good news for friends who often run high speeds.
But in general, in addition to the manual seats, the basic configuration of the new Mondeo low-end models is still more sufficient, combined with the price of 159,800 yuan and the configuration performance of the entry-level competitors, the new Mondeo is still relatively "thick".
Finally, in the power and driving parts, the new Mondeo series uses the same powertrain and chassis structure, and there is no difference between high and low power because of the price, which must be praised here. From the previous test drive experience, the power reserve of the new Mondeo is relatively sufficient, the daily driving speed to 2000 rpm can get a good power feedback, daily driving does not need to frequently pull up the speed, which is also the 2.0T engine to give the confidence. In terms of chassis performance, the suspension texture of the new Mondeo is obviously biased towards comfort, especially when filtering the common "roadblocks" such as speed reduction belt manhole covers. In addition, the engine NVH control of the whole car is also very good, neither noisy like the Accord, nor completely isolated like buick LaCrosse, and the new Mondeo still retains some mechanical running sounds, which is also a basic operation that Ford has always had.
Write at the end
Overall, Lao Wang believes that this new Mondeo low-end model is still very recommended. Although the lack of fashionable fish screen, but the dual screen design is also enough for daily use, and some of the basic comfort configuration is not missing, combined with the starting price of 159,800 yuan and relatively strong power, if you can buy, then Lao Wang very much recommends that you choose the new Mondeo low-end model!
