The four models launched in the early stage are all equipped with 2.0T power, so is it worth buying as the cheapest entry-level fashion model? Let’s analyze it together today.

Appearance: The styling is not disappointing

The new generation of Mondeo has undergone significant changes in styling, adopting the latest Ford family The design concept is exactly the same as the previously released EVOS, which is in line with the current youth trend. Its center grille inherits Ford's long-standing polygonal center grille, and the interior is replaced with a dot matrix filling. It is officially called a 3D parametric scale grille. When the key is approached, it will also show breathing undulations.

This low-end model is also equipped with an active air intake grille. From the appearance, the overall momentum is not bad, and the appearance does not look bad at all. Low.

The split headlights are relatively novel in shape. They use LED headlights and have LED daytime running lights and headlight delay shutdown functions. However, features such as automatic headlights and adaptive high and low beams only appear in luxury and above versions.

The lowest model is the only model in the series that uses 17-inch wheels, equipped with Hankook tires, and the specification is 235/55 R17. It is visually higher than the top model. Depending on the model, there will be a slight discount. However, it does not seem to be a relatively simple style, which does not affect the coordination of the entire vehicle.

Compared with the front of the car, the lines and movement of the rear of the car have not been deleted too much. One-piece blackened taillights are also used, and the style of the light group is inherited from Mustang. The three-claw design can definitely meet your requirements for sports style.

The lowest model is not equipped with basic reversing radar, which is inappropriate. Although this configuration is small, it is still very practical for daily parking. It is good The reversing image is not absent and is also acceptable.

Interior: Very technological atmosphere

Coming to the car, because only the low-end fashion model uses instruments and a central control screen The two dual screens are different from the high-end 27-inch large screen that runs through the center console, but it looks like many mainstream dual-screen models today.

There is also one-button start, uphill assist, automatic parking and electric sunroof as standard equipment for the entire series, which is more than enough to meet daily comfort needs.

The seat material is made of fabric, and the main and passenger seats do not have lumbar support adjustment, so the comfort will be compromised. In addition, the front seats use manual adjustable seats. This configuration is acceptable and is a common practice among many car companies in low-end configurations.

Full text summary: Although the official price has not been announced, it is expected that it will not differ much when it is launched. Judging from the current guide price of 159,800 yuan for the entry-level fashion model, this price is actually very attractive. Compared with the higher-level luxury model, it is a full 20,000 yuan cheaper. But everyone has also seen that the price is the lack of some driving assistance configurations.
