It's really fast, it's the first time in my life that I experience a top speed of 208km/h, and it was this Mondeo Sport that took me to complete the experience.

With the upgrading of young consumers' demand for car purchases, joint venture brands have also accelerated the pace of product design. Compared with the past, today's models have been comprehensively improved in terms of youthfulness, sense of technology and comfort. Thus, the Mondeo Sport was born.
The 2024 Changan Ford Mondeo Sport was officially launched on June 7, 2024, with two new models, both equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and an EcoBoost E hybrid system consisting of a front-mounted single electric motor. In September, the new member of the Mondeo family, the 1.5T hybrid Shuya, was officially launched, with a manufacturer's guide price of 177,800 yuan, further reducing the entry threshold for high-horsepower E hybrid models and redefining the price of hybrid models in the market segment.
On the outside, the Mondeo Sport retains the EVOS design, while the ST-Line adds a Sport Exterior Package, with large 20-inch wheels, striking red brake calipers and a two-tone body design. The front grille has a scale-like design with active closing, and the headlights are split with LED daytime running lights running through. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4920/1920/1600 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2945 mm.
Inside, the interior of the Mondeo Sport also continues the family-oriented design. The most eye-catching thing on the center console is a 1.1-meter-long ultra-wide screen, which integrates a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster and a 24-inch 4K high-definition strip screen, which runs through the passenger area, and is equipped with a built-in Ford SYNC+2.0 intelligent car machine system, which is full of science and technology.
The powertrain is the core highlight of this new car. The Mondeo Sport is the first hybrid system based on the 2.0-liter engine, equipped with an electric motor with a maximum output of 140 kW, and the battery is a lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide battery pack provided by BYD. The transmission system adopts E-CVT continuously variable transmission, and the engine and generator are efficiently coupled through planetary gears, with a combined WLTC range of 915 km.
The all-new EcoBoost 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 222Nm ··. Ford's mature and advanced power diversion technology enables the system to always run in the optimal range of comprehensive efficiency, with fuel consumption as low as 4.56L/100km under comprehensive working conditions, and can add No. 92 gasoline, and the cost per kilometer is as low as 0.3 yuan, bringing energy consumption comparable to that of new energy vehicles and greatly reducing the cost of daily commuting. Under the WLTC standard, the endurance of a tank of fuel is up to 1051km, which is far away from the anxiety of energy replenishment, and the long-distance journey is labor-saving and worry-free.
At the Dianjiang Comprehensive Proving Ground, it is essential to experience the power and handling of the Mondeo Sport. On a high-speed loop with a straight line length of about 2,200 meters, a curved section of about 3,300 meters, and a maximum inclination angle of 45°, driving this Mondeo Sport with a high-horsepower E hybrid system gives the impression of being fast and stable.
From the starting point, drive the Mondeo Sport steadily on the rightmost straight, gradually increasing its speed to more than 120 km/h, then carefully change lanes to the left. When the vehicle enters the second lane on the left, the speed has exceeded 200 km/h. At this point, the throttle is not fully pressed to the end, and there is still room for improvement in speed. When the throttle reached 208 km/h, the Mondeo in my hands in the leftmost lane felt like it was about to take off.
Another thing that feels great about the Mondeo Sport is its stability. During the acceleration from 100 km/h to 200 km/h, the body remains stable at all times, without any fluttering, and the chassis is as solid as ever, which brings an excellent sense of safety to the driver and passengers.
The test also included zero hundred acceleration. After entering the testing ground, each media teacher conducted two zero-hundred acceleration tests. Due to the special power system, we can't step on the brakes like ordinary ejection operations, the throttle to the end, wait for the speed to be in the right position and release the brakes, but slowly step on the accelerator to release the brakes when the speed is appropriate. My time was 6.18 seconds.
The Mondeo Sport's outstanding power performance comes from the fourth-generation Ford high-horsepower E hybrid system in the world. The combined power is up to 308 horsepower, coupled with the excellent performance of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, the power output is smooth and smooth, which not only has economy in fuel consumption, but also brings the driver a surging acceleration experience.
