What comes to mind when it comes to Ford-branded models? Can the Blood-boiling Mustang be the Fox of the European steel cannon, or the "Big" Pickup F-150? In fact, for our people, the most familiar model must be the Mondeo. The first generation of Mondeo came out as early as 1993, and the earliest memories of the Chinese people can be traced back to 2004. And what we want to introduce to you today is the new generation of Mondeo models that are scheduled to be launched in April.
The new generation of Mondeo, using the "potential energy aesthetics" design concept, has a 3D parametric scale grille, split headlights, and through-LED taillights, these elements make it have a sense of technology at the same time, but also enough fashion and sports.
In terms of intelligent networking, Ford is also at the forefront of the times. As early as 2019, Ford began to cooperate with Baidu to create a SYNC+ system with an Internet ecology, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which was listed last year, has been equipped with a second-generation SYNC+ system. The 1.1-meter ultra-wide-area giant screen used on the new generation of Mondeo is another bold and innovative attempt by Ford.
With such a stunning giant screen, it's hard to believe it came from Ford, a traditional century-old oem. A 12.3-inch instrument cluster, coupled with a 27-inch central control screen, the resolution also reached the 4K standard. At the same time, because of the significant reduction of physical buttons, the central control looks more technological, so innovative design, perfectly comparable to the new forces.
After a brief understanding of the new generation of Mondeo, let's take a look at the "CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation System", which is jointly developed by the Cheyun Research Institute and partners, adhering to the principle of openness and continuity, subjectively experiencing and scoring the cabin intelligence degree of the vehicle from several dimensions such as intelligent performance, ease of use, appearance and sense of technology, trustworthiness and innovation.
"CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation System" is divided into two categories of scores: basic items and innovation items, and the basic items involve a total of 210 items, each with a 5-point system, with a full score of 1050 points. Innovations are evaluated as independent, and according to the performance of the model, there is also a 5-point system for each innovation, but there is no upper limit on the total score. The sum of the basic items and the innovation items is the total score of the model's smart cockpit performance, so as to completely evaluate and depict the smart cockpit. According to the division of intelligent cockpit experience, we classify innovation into three categories, namely interactive function innovation, digital innovation, and cockpit environment innovation, so as to more perfectly evaluate the innovation of intelligent cockpit.
According to the "CC-1000T Intelligent Cockpit Evaluation Cloud Platform", the new generation of Mondeo scored a total of 749 points, second only to first-class models such as bmw 5 series, ranking third in the joint venture fuel model. Among them, the 1.1-meter ultra-wide area HD giant screen, SYNC+2.0 system, AR real-life navigation + widescreen navigation, and V2I vehicle-road collaboration are eye-catching; the functions and configurations such as free secret, time-space mechat, and intelligent Xinfeng system also bring enough surprises. Of course, the above functional plus points are not simple stacking, but echo and support each other, build the new generation of Mondeo into a smart new sharp that can fully compete with electric vehicles, break the "conservative" label of traditional joint venture fuel vehicles in one fell swoop, and make us look forward to Changan Ford's future products.
Ultra-wide area giant screen: it is an immersive visual feast
When it comes to the biggest innovation in the new generation of Mondeo smart cockpit, the ultra-wide area high-definition giant screen can be said to be like a cornerstone. In terms of function, based on the 27-inch giant screen, the system provides a variety of information such as navigation, entertainment, road conditions mode, etc., not only can be displayed on the whole screen, but also can be operated on the split screen, while meeting the driving sense, but also fully take care of the needs of the co-pilot, so that sitting next to you she can also participate in the driving, bringing immersive and highly fun experience enjoyment.
It is worth mentioning that the SYNC+ 2.0 system used by the new generation of Mondeo has increased its score from 30 points to 58 points compared with the previous generation OF SYNC+ system, a surge of 93%, which is already at the same level as the same level of electric vehicles. Among them, the 27-inch screen can be said to be indispensable. Compared with the 12.3 inches used in the SYNC+ system, the size of the central control screen increased by 119.5%, and the resolution also reached 4032 * 756. You can imagine how pleasant it is to sit in the new generation of Mondeo and enjoy the 4K video shock sensation when you are waiting for someone in the car, sitting in the new generation of Mondeo and enjoying the 4K video shock feeling; on the weekend, when you and your loved ones are finished picnicking in the countryside and return to the car to chase a drama that they like each other, the sweetness is born.
Comments: The new generation of Mondeo's 1.1-meter ultra-wide area giant screen and its EQUIPPED SYNC+ 2.0 system, to rival the technological atmosphere and control experience of electric vehicles, tell people that fuel vehicles can also play with intelligent technology, whether in the creation of science and technology and sense of advanced, or in the convenience and response speed of operation, have refreshed our cognition.
AR real-life navigation + widescreen navigation: novel display method, higher safety factor
In order to make full use of this ultra-wide area giant screen, Changan Ford's new generation of Mondeo engineers, the first thing that comes to mind is to introduce AR real-life navigation + widescreen navigation function, especially AR real-screen navigation, which is still very rare in the industry, and for drivers, the display form is also very novel, it can integrate the actual road conditions and navigation information, it feels like playing a computer game, following the corresponding instructions can complete the navigation route, so that the previous cold navigation, more fun, At the same time, it also further enhances the user's convenience and sense of security when using navigation.
The new generation of Mondeo provides users with "instrument AR real scene navigation + central control widescreen navigation", and "instrument navigation view + central control AR navigation & full view" two different view display, the operation is also very simple, after starting to navigate, click the real scene navigation: open the "instrument AR real navigation + central control widescreen navigation"; click the real scene navigation button twice, you can open the "instrument navigation view + central control AR navigation & full view". Individuals prefer dashboards to display AR live-action navigation, while large screens display traditional navigation content, so that the navigation effect is richer and the display route is clearer.
Comments: The new generation of Mondeo's AR real-life navigation and widescreen navigation functions make full use of the broad field of view brought by the large screen, so as to achieve a more convenient and safe navigation function, which is not only the gospel of the "road idiot party", but also brings refreshing feelings to the old drivers who are familiar with the car.
27-inch screen split screen function: let the main co-pilot take what he needs and have fun
In addition to functional innovation, the new generation of Mondeo also hopes to bring a different feeling to the occupants of the car in terms of scenes, of which the split-screen function is the best embodiment. The huge 27-inch screen certainly can't be "solo music", if necessary, it is "separated", so that the main co-pilot can take what he needs and have fun. The operation is also very simple, when the passenger seat is occupied, the corresponding resident menu will open, at this time select the split screen mode. How to analyze the content for the main driver in the "split screen" situation? It only takes three fingers and swipes to the left, which is really too easy and convenient.
In addition, the split screen mode also supports the distinctive "joint driving fun" function, which allows the co-driver passenger to view navigation, vehicle status, road signs and other information, and also allows the co-driver passenger to switch the navigation address and manually draw the screen to the main driver. This allows the co-pilot to also participate in the driving, and there is a feeling of a rally navigator.
Comments: The new generation of Mondeo's split screen and joint driving fun function further releases the application potential of the super screen, and the interaction between people and cars has become more intelligent and flexible, so that the drivers and occupants seem to be in the future science fiction cockpit, and can personally manipulate a series of car and machine functions that only appeared in movies before, which is amazing.
Freedom Secret + Time And Space MeSince: Life Needs a Sense of Ritual Starting with Your Car
Finally, let's look at two applications based on two innovative scenario modes developed for ultra-wide-area giant screens. The first is the Freedom Secret, which is based on vision and hearing, which brings an immersive interior feeling to the occupants of the car. By playing different music, showing different videos, and the feeling brought by the atmosphere lights, the new generation of Mondeo can create four scenes: forest, stars into the sea, summer night fireworks, and sky realm, giving you an immersive feeling. For example, in a summer night fireworks scene, the system will play a video with a summer feeling, music with clams and cicadas, and the atmosphere light will also be green. By the way, this feature is best not to let the husband know, because it may increase the time the husband spends "meditating" alone in the car after parking the car.
Life needs a sense of ceremony, this sentence is not casual talk, a cup of coffee every morning, or a holiday gift, these rituals obviously can not be satisfied by everyone. The sense of ceremony brought about by the new generation of Mondeo's time-space secret message will definitely give you a bright feeling. Time and space MeSince can set some anniversaries such as birthdays and festivals in advance in the car machine, just like the alarm clock, when a specific time comes, you can show a sentence you want to express to your relatives, lovers or friends through the ultra-wide area giant screen. It's like sending flowers to your girlfriend on Valentine's Day, adding a few small surprises to the immutable life.
Comments: How to make the car a "third space"? The new generation of Mondeo's free secret and space-time mechat function gives a good response - the car should not only be a cold industrial product, but also a warm harbor with emotion and temperature. Around these two features, I believe that the new generation of Mondeo users and their families will be able to create many interesting stories.
summary:
This evaluation is mainly for the new generation of Mondeo's intelligent cockpit, but as a product based on Ford's native platform - FNV intelligent interconnection network architecture, the car's more powerful intelligent ability reflects its vehicle-wide OTA capabilities, because this means that it is an evolvable car, which can be continuously updated and iterated with the technological progress of Changan Ford, with a very broad optimization space and possibilities, which is not available in the current market for the same level of fuel models.
On the other hand, as the flagship of Changan Ford's new sedan, the new generation of Mondeo allows us to see Changan Ford's outstanding strength and boldness in the field of intelligent technology. It is believed that the configuration and technology of the new generation of Mondeo will also appear in other models of the brand, and intelligence will become another powerful DNA of Ford products after performance.
