Eight years later, Ford Mondeo finally ushered in a new generation. According to Changan Ford's official knowledge, the new generation of Mondeo will be officially launched on April 13. The pre-sale of the new car began on March 18, with a total of four models with a pre-price range of 15.98 yuan to 219800 yuan. As a reference, the price of the current model is 19.28-226800 yuan.
The new Mondeo is a completely new generation since 2013, so the appearance of the new car is very different from the past, abandoning the "Martin face" design style and adopting a more avant-garde design. In the front part, the new car uses a split headlamp hexagonal grille, and the grille is decorated with "scales". The biggest highlight is that the grille of the new car has the function of active closure. In addition, the new car also uses a number of Ford models common in the split headlamp design, the new headlight group using LED light source and equipped with automatic headlights. On the side of the body, the new car adopts the popular slip-back roof and two-color body design, in which the roof is black, further creating the feeling of a floating roof. In addition, the new car door also uses a hidden door handle, the bottom is a petal type double five-spoke rim, making the car look full of science and technology. In the rear part, the new car adopts a penetrating design, the taillights are blackened, the bottom is surrounded by strong lines, and at the bottom is a bilateral exhaust layout, highlighting a sense of hierarchy and a sense of movement at the same time.
In terms of body size, the new generation of Mondeo is 4935/1875/1500mm in length, width and height, and 2945mm in wheelbase. As a reference, Mondeo on sale is 4873/1852/1470mm in length, width and height, and 2850mm in wheelbase. By contrast, the new generation of Mondeo has expanded comprehensively in size, especially the wheelbase has been significantly lengthened. Specifically, the length, width and height of the new car has increased by 62/23/30mm, while the wheelbase has lengthened 95mm.
In the interior part, there are also obvious changes in the new car, which is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD meter and a 27-inch Dalian screen combination. According to reports, the two screens form a 1.1-meter-long giant screen that looks full of science and technology. At the same time, the new car canceled a large number of knobs and buttons.
Power is one of the biggest highlights of the new car, which is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 175kW and a maximum torque of 376N m. In terms of transmission system, except for the top ST-Line model matching 8-speed hand-integrated gearbox (with steering wheel shift dial), the other three models are equipped with 8-speed automatic gearbox. According to officials, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the new car is only 6.5 seconds. For reference, the 2020 Mondeo is on sale with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, maximum power 134kw and 152kw, peak torque of 243N ·m and 354N ·m, matching six-gear automatic transmission.
In terms of competitive products, the new car is expected to compete with Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Maiteng and Nissan Teana after its launch.
Data show that Mondeo is Ford's first global model, in 2004 Mondeo began to enter the domestic market. At present, it has experienced four replacement models, the first generation model was listed in 1993, the domestic cash model on sale is the fourth generation model based on Ford CD4 platform, which was sold by Changan Ford in 2013. In addition, in August 2021, the current Ford Mondeo EcoBoost 200 series models have been announced to stop production. According to the relevant data, the best sales of Changan Ford Mondeo were in 2016 and 2017, with 101035 and 112158 respectively. After that, Mondeo's sales performance was very mediocre, including 45405 in 2018, 17642 in 2019, 25027 in 2020 and 34345 in 2021. For comparison, Mondeo's rival Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Volkswagen Maiteng, Nissan Teana and other models all sell more than 100000 vehicles a year. This time, the fifth-generation Mondeo has a comprehensive optimization in terms of appearance, interior and vehicle price. as for whether the arrival of the new car can inject new sources of sales into Ford, we still have to wait for the market performance of the new car when it comes to the market.
