At present, the domestic automobile market competition is intensifying, and the phenomenon of inward rolling of car companies in order to impress consumers is very fierce. As a classic model of Ford, the Mondeo has undergone five generations of transformation and has a good reputation in the B-class car market.
With the listing of the new generation of Mondeo, with the full range of 2.0T+8AT powertrain, far exceeding the wheelbase space of the B-class car, and the pragmatic pricing of 159,800-219,800 yuan, it is affectionately known as the "roll king" by consumers.
I believe that people who have seen a new generation of Mondeo will not involuntarily ask, is the B-class car also rolled up like this now? With such doubts, The Car Market Observation participated in the new generation of Mondeo test drive activities, and personally felt that Mondeo really read the user's mind.
Unlike in the past, the new generation of Mondeo's test drive is a form of free experience, after picking up the car, you can plan your own test drive route, also known as an immersive test drive.
Encounters are both surprising.
When you approach Mondeo with your key, the vehicle welcome sensor system activates. Next you can see that the scales of the front grille will flip up and down, and the light strip will turn on the welcome mode, like an old friend greeting you, full of ritual and technology.
The car welcome design is not unusual, most of them are presented in the form of lights, but the action of Mondeo's "Wolong Awakening" is very innovative, it is a very careful and intimate design, and it is also a small surprise.
The sense of movement is reinforced.
Mondeo's exterior design is known for its sporty style, and the familiar is the "Martin Face", which is loved by young consumers. Ford has insight into the changes in consumer concepts, and the exterior design of Mondeo has changed with the times, and the traces of "Martin's face" can no longer be seen from the appearance.
When you first see Mondeo, you will be attracted by its four-door coupe dynamic shape, streamlined roof design, split + through headlights are very avant-garde, the workmanship of large-size wheels is very exquisite, the tail bilateral single exhaust pipe is more sporty, and the three vertical headlights design make the new generation of Mondeo have a high degree of recognition.
Driving Mondeo in Jinan after the rain is definitely a beautiful landscape, and there is an urge to look for summer rain lotus.
Comfort is king.
After looking at the appearance of the new generation of Mondeo, the observant ape also thinks that Mondeo will once again focus on sportsmanship. But when you sit in the car, you will be more optimistic about its comfort.
In terms of size, the new generation of Mondeo has a body length/width/height size of 4935/1875/1500mm, and has a 2945mm ultra-long wheelbase, and a trunk volume of up to 520L. From its book wheelbase, compared to the Passat, Maiten, Camry and other B-class models have obvious advantages, many people also call it B+ class models.
The new generation of Mondeo is nearly 5 meters long and nearly 30cm wider than its siblings, what is it like to experience it? Even if the height of 1 meter 8 people, sitting in is more than enough, what stretching legs and waist is not a word, the back row is even more exaggerated, just sit on the back leg There is a surplus of nearly three fists.
Ample space is not only large, in the details of the material configuration, the new generation of Mondeo has also spent a lot of thought, especially the materials in the car are quite thick, basically visible, touched where, are made of soft materials, even the front row of the middle console area below, also used soft leather wrapping, in the details of the embodiment of Mondeo's intimate.
In fact, such designs are more than that, such as 10-way electric adjustment/memory seats, Danish B&O audio, front and rear wireless charging, seven-color LED immersive atmosphere lights, etc. are all luxury cars only have configurations, all give people a good experience. Appearance is justice, but comfort is the ultimate direction of the B-Class.
The sense of technology exceeded expectations.
Compared with the new forces of car-making, as well as the domestic electric vehicles to chase the sense of science and technology, many joint venture B-class cars give people a stereotypical feeling, can not keep up with the pace of the times, but all this is completely invisible in the new generation of Mondeo.
The first thing that comes into view in the car is that the 1.1-meter ultra-wide area HD giant screen, integrating a 12.3-inch full-color digital LCD dashboard and a 27-inch large 4K central control screen, this design needless to say that in the joint venture car, even in the new force of car manufacturing is also a rare existence, I have to say that Ford's wave of operations is a bit fierce.
The key is that this large screen is not a flower shelf, supports the free switching of split screen and large screen, its built-in SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system is quite rich in functions, the actual experience, voice navigation, temperature adjustment, window opening and other functions are very fast response speed.
Mondeo also has a very advanced configuration, L2 active driving assistance function - BlueCruise, which needs to be able to achieve "quasi-automatic assisted driving" in specific sections, which may not be the case in actual driving, but such operations as automatic following and maintaining safe distance are very practical, and can relieve the pressure of driving in long-distance driving.
The whole series of 2.0T is not good
From the parameters point of view, the new generation of Mondeo is equipped with a 2.0T EcoBoost engine + 8AT, the maximum power reaches 238 horsepower, the maximum torque is 376 Nm, zero hundred acceleration 6.5S, the book data is a fierce role, better than The Maiteng, Accord and other similar models perform better.
In practice, Mondeo is equipped with a new generation of engines with abundant power, whether it is starting or accelerating overtaking, there is no pressure. If you step deep into the throttle, you will obviously feel the feeling of pushing back. If it is a high-speed driving, the acceleration in the middle and rear section is very sufficient. The 8AT gearbox shifts very smoothly, and there is no abrupt sense of movement when accelerating. The tuning of the chassis is also very solid, and the support is sufficient when cornering.
Of course, some people will feel that the fuel consumption of 2.0T power will not be higher, which depends on how to balance the problem. People who choose B-class cars pay more attention to the space and comfort in the car, and they don't want to be too complacent about power, so they have to pay more. Importantly, Mondeo only needs to add No. 92 gasoline, which takes into account a certain fuel economy.
Car market observation: At the end of the day, Mondeo accompanied through the city, but also through the suburbs, after the experience, you will feel Mondeo a sporty and comfortable B-class car. The new generation of Mondeo not only has a good look and style, intelligent configuration and power are also sincere, with a starting price of less than 160,000 and a lifetime warranty service for all parts, giving people a very value-added feeling.
