Car Review Observation "Car Review Club"
Recently, a number of joint venture mid-level cars have been updated and iterated, which has intensified competition in this mainstream market segment. With the launch of the Ford Mondeo Sport, the Mondeo family has renewed its competitiveness, the most prominent is the rich choice of power systems, including 1.5T fuel, 2.0T fuel and 1.5T E hybrid and 2.0T E hybrid, a total of four power forms, it can be said that it is quite rare in the same class.
At the same time, the price range of the Mondeo family is gathered in the core competition area of 150,000-200,000 yuan, let's take a look at what advantages they have.
1.5T不妥协，2.0T更极致
Although the price of the entire joint venture mid-level car on the market has sunk, but for entry-level models, the performance of mainstream models in terms of power is relatively perfunctory, like the Accord fuel version uses 1.5T power, but due to the use of CVT gearbox, the overall driving experience is too smooth, less driving fun, and the performance of the Mondeo 1.5T fuel version is going to work harder, with a maximum horsepower of 190Ps and a maximum torque of 258N·m, using a rare 8AT gearbox of the same level, Compared to the Accord, it is more aggressive in shifting gears, and the dynamic response is also faster when accelerating from the start. In the past, we had the impression that American cars have strong power and high fuel consumption, but not on the Mondeo, under the WLTC working condition, the Mondeo 1.5T comprehensive fuel consumption is at least 6.64L/100km, and the efficiency of the power system is further improved, and the fuel consumption is also as economical as the Accord, which actually corresponds to the real car buying needs of young users, we can enjoy the strong power experience at the same time, but also get better fuel economy.
In addition, the Mondeo 2.0T fuel version, if combined with the terminal discount, the price has actually come to the 150,000 range, its power performance is more extreme, the maximum power is 254Ps, the maximum torque is 393N·m, compared to the Accord fuel version only provides 1.5T power system, Mondeo is not only stronger, but also gives consumers more personalized choices.
Hybrid just to save fuel? Mondeo doesn't think so
Let's talk about the hybrid version of the Mondeo, everyone has a preconceived impression of the Japanese two fields, or take the Accord hybrid as an example, the maximum engine power is 148Ps, the maximum torque is 182N·m, the total motor power is 184Ps, the maximum torque is 335N·m, the zero hundred acceleration is 7 seconds, and the fuel consumption is 4.88L/100km under WLTC working conditions, which can be said to be a relatively economical hybrid car.
The Mondeo's hybrid system, on the premise of focusing on fuel economy, also did not give up the pursuit of strong power, such as the 1.5T E hybrid engine maximum power of 190Ps, maximum torque of 222N·m, total motor power of 131Ps, maximum torque of 235N·m, WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.56L/100km, urban conditions are only 3.81L.
The recently launched Mondeo sports version 2.0T E hybrid, the strength has been upgraded again, compared with the Accord 2.0L self-priming hybrid competitiveness is more prominent, the comprehensive power of the system is 308Ps, the book parameters are close to the traditional V6 large displacement engine, WLTC comprehensive range can reach 915km, high-speed fuel consumption is only 4.64L/100km, at the same time, the body adopts a high-strength cage design, and the proportion of high-strength steel above 600Mpa is as high as 52%, Among them, the A column to the C pillar uses martensitic steel produced by the 3D rolling process with a strength of up to 1700Mpa, which brings stronger performance and higher safety while achieving the goal of fuel saving, and directly refreshes the new value of hybrid vehicles in the same class.
Skip the body size, do not be a partial student
Having said so much about power and performance, you may think that Mondeo is a partial student, but it is not.
In terms of space, it can also play, the length, width and height of the four-door model is 4935*1875*1500mm, the wheelbase is 2945mm, as a comparison, the length, width and height of the Accord is 4980*1862*1449mm, and the wheelbase is 2830mm.
The configuration of the entry-level model is also quite rich, the official guide price is 149,800 yuan, and the EcoBoost 180 fashion model is equipped with an 8AT gearbox, reversing image, automatic headlights, electric sunroof, mobile phone APP remote control, voice recognition, OTA upgrade, keyless entry/start and other functional configurations, which meet the needs of daily use.
Car review observation: Today, spending 150,000 yuan to buy a joint venture B-class car is not new. But through the price and level, we pursue the fundamental quality and value, such as the Mondeo has a large horsepower of solid hardware, spacious space and rich configuration, to actually meet the needs of consumers for power, use and comfort and other all-round car needs, undoubtedly set a high value benchmark, recently considered the mid-level sedan friends, Mondeo is worth the actual experience.
