Reviewing the past and learning new knowledge are also golden sentences for driving. Although I have tested a new generation of Mondeo before, I have a new feeling this time.

Quiet is a brand-new experience and a new harvest. Except for the feeling that the wheels rub against the ground, there is almost no sound of wind noise and tire noise. For a mid-level car suitable for IKEA, the quietness of the interior space undoubtedly increases the comfort, even when the engine is running at low speed, there is no sound. The suspension adopts the front McPherson rear multi-link system, and the overall adjustment is biased towards comfort. When passing through ditches and gaps, the body almost moves as a whole with the ups and downs of the seat cushion, and the transition is unconsciously completed in the chat with the people in the car. Quiet atmosphere and relaxed conversation are undoubtedly the best embodiment of the comfort in the car.

In the past, the test drive was always in the main driving position. This time, I finally had a chance to experience the feeling of the co-pilot and the back row. The most intuitive feeling of sitting in the co-pilot is that you can freely control the central control screen of 1. 1 meter, so you don't have to worry about driving safety. 12.3-inch instrument panel and 27-inch central control panel * * together constitute the 1. 1 meter-long combined screen design. Although it is a bit common now, at that time, a new generation of Mondeo led the trend of interior design, which was the first time in the industry. The biggest advantage of the combined screen design is that the central control screen can be divided into three parts. The main driver can watch navigation and the co-pilot can watch entertainment programs without interfering with each other. They can watch each other interactively while waiting for the traffic lights. The sliding of fingertips promotes communication.

The first generation of Mondeo appeared in1993; In 2000, the second generation Mondeo went on the market and was introduced to China by Changan Ford in 2004. In 2007, the third generation Mondeo was listed and named Mondeo Zhisheng; In 20 13, the fourth generation of Mondeo was officially listed, and "Martin Face" became popular all over the country, which completely launched Mondeo's reputation in China.

After a lapse of about 9 years, the fifth generation model, the new generation Mondeo, has finally arrived.

Different from the previous calm design style, the new generation of Mondeo has adopted a new design language. Adopt tram-class electronic and electrical structure, which is completely new from the inside out. In addition, many places have trend-setting designs, which have appeared as fashionable teenagers.

The front face has changed the style of "Martin face", and the front grille is decorated with breathing 3D scales, which has active air intake function. When driving, the scales float step by step, which is an elegant feeling. The light strip above the front grille connects the headlights on both sides and is easy to identify at night. The length, width and height of the car body are 4935x 1875x 1500mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2945mm. A sharp ridge line matches the shape of the sliding back roof, which is full of movement and reduces the wind resistance coefficient to 0.293Cd.

The concealed door handle is still in use today, but it was a fashionable design at that time. The tail design should be the most imposing. The integrated taillights traverse the tail, and three vertical decorations in the lamp cavity pay tribute to Mustang.

The interior is the focus of the new generation of Mondeo to awaken people's cognition, including the 1. 1 meter-long joint screen design of the instrument panel and the central control panel, which perfectly integrates technology and fashion. At the same time, it also started the trend of using linked screen design in the interior.

12.3 inch full-color digital LCD instrument panel integrates navigation, entertainment, road conditions and other functions; The 27-inch dashboard supports Ford's first "joint driving pleasure" function in the industry. By freely switching between split screen and full screen, the main driver and the co-driver can freely choose their own content-the main driver watches navigation and the co-driver watches entertainment, which increases the fun on the premise of ensuring driving safety. At the same time, the main driver and the co-driver can watch the whole screen, for example, choose the best route for navigation.

The new generation of Mondeo is equipped with Ford's latest generation in-vehicle system SYNC+2.0 Zhixing Internet system, which supports multi-touch, voice recognition and manipulation of multiple apps. Let's just say that the car can meet the needs of office work and family life. It is a travel secretary and housekeeper.

As a model of IKEA in Shang Yi, the new generation Mondeo should be natural and graceful in configuration. The classic knob shift is retained, and the configuration supporting wireless charging of the mobile phone is on the right.

The sculptural air conditioning knob matches the two-color seat design, plus the famous Danish B&; O brand voice reflects a sense of high-end. The wheelbase of 2935 mm provides ample legroom. Although it is a sliding roof shape, there is no sense of oppression in the head space.

The whole car has multiple storage compartments, plus the trunk volume of 520L, which is very convenient for both business and home travel.

The new generation Mondeo comes standard with a power combination of 2.0T+8AT, with a maximum power of175kW and a maximum torque of 376Nm. It has three driving modes: standard, energy saving and sports.

With the golden power combination of "2.0T+8AT", the driving experience of the new generation Mondeo is stable and comfortable, which is in line with its own positioning. In the initial acceleration stage, I felt that the weight of the accelerator pedal was slight and the body felt slightly dragged. When the speed reaches about 50 kilometers per hour, with the approach of the turbine explosion point, the car body suddenly becomes lighter, accompanied by a strong sense of pushing back. Everything behind is natural, the power output is smooth and continuous, and the linear performance is obvious. Dynamic response is very fast and always available. The 8AT gearbox is well matched with the engine, and the shift is timely and fast.

Ford has a long history in chassis adjustment. Whether in sports or standard driving mode, it can always find the best balance point and give full play to the comfortable feeling brought by suspension. Therefore, the new generation of Mondeo, as a quasi-business model with a small reception, can be placed in front of everyone.

As you can imagine, Changan Ford has devoted a lot of efforts to the new generation of Mondeo, expecting to become the benchmark of the mid-level car market and shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the market. According to the usual practice, Mondeo is expected to undertake 20% sales of all models of Changan Ford, which is a long way to go. Missed the regretful spring and hot summer, and finally waited for the beautiful autumn. Driving a new generation of Mondeo in beautiful autumn colors, I released my mood at work. Among them, new feelings are the biggest gains.
