If your budget is around 230,000 yuan and you plan to buy a mid-size car, what would you choose? Judging from the popular models nowadays, BYD Seal and Ford Mondeo are both relatively popular models, and one is a tram and the other is a fuel vehicle. So, how to choose these two models, we might as well find the answer through some comparison.
. Price comparison
I chose two models with similar guide prices. Since seals are exempt from purchase tax, Mondeo requires purchase tax and other fees. Therefore, although Mondeo's guide price is slightly lower, the estimated landing price will be higher. However, the landing price of the two is basically around 230,000 yuan, which is of contrast.
2. Model characteristics comparison
both models have a more dynamic appearance, the seal is visually smoother, while Mondeo has a stronger sense of power. On the front face, the headlights on both sides of the seal are narrow and sharp, and the extended outward part brings recognition to it. The stacked diversion grooves surrounding the left and right sides of the front are also eye-catching; Mondeo's characteristics are also very distinctive, and the combination of the scale-shaped huge center net and the split headlights highlights the momentum, while the lines on the hood emphasize the sense of power.
On the side of the body, the seal's shape is simple, the black decoration of the rolling and front fenders emphasizes the dynamic atmosphere, and the dot matrix effect near the D-pillar also emphasizes vitality; Mondeo's shape is thick, and the segmented waistline creates a sharp feeling, and the equipment of hidden door handles gives people the feeling of a new energy vehicle.
At the rear of the car, the overall style of the seal is simple, the paddle-style through-tail lights and slightly exaggerated rear diffuser shape bring it a strong sporty atmosphere; Mondeo emphasizes the visual layering, and the three-vertical taillight shape obviously pays tribute to Ford Mustang , and the style of the rear diffuser is also relatively sporty.
In terms of body size, although both cars are positioned as medium-sized cars, it is obvious that Mondeo's size will have more advantages. In terms of interior decoration, the seal's center console is decorated with through-type chrome trim, and the fish tail shape is formed with the air vents and the gear lever area on both sides. The middle position of the steering wheel is also the fish tail shape, with a distinct theme style; the Mondeo's center console is full, and the air outlet shape is intertwined horizontally and vertically. In addition to the application of a flat-bottom steering wheel, it is visually tough.
0 large screen, Seal uses a 15.6-inch central control large screen, while Mondeo uses a through-type screen combination, and the central control screen size reaches 27-inches. From a functional perspective, this version of Mondeo is even more abundant, and it supports facial recognition and gesture control functions.
In terms of riding, the seats of the seal adopt an integrated design, the seats have a strong sense of class, and the wrapping of the shoulders, waist and legs are relatively in place; Mondeo's seats are sporty, and the backrest and cushions are made of fur fabric, and the support effect of the two wings is also relatively good.
space, takes the 174cm experiencer seat as an example. seal has one and a half punches on the front head, three fingers on the back head, and two punches on the legs; Mondeo has one and two fingers on the front head, and two punches on the back head. In contrast, the space of Mondeo is better, but the rear floor of the seal is flat, while Mondeo has a certain degree of bulge. In terms of power, the specific parameters of the two models are as follows. As for actual performance, we might as well continue to look at the relevant test results of the actual test of 年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1年1�
. Basic performance comparison
According to the actual test data of Dongchedi, the actual test acceleration time of seal is 7.81s, the braking score of 100 kilometers is 39.81m, and the elk test pass is 77.7km/h. The results of these three are 7.8s, 38.07m and 73.4km/h, respectively.Judging from the actual test results, the acceleration performance of the two models is not much different, while Mondeo is relatively ahead in terms of brakes, while the Elk test is more advantageous and has a relatively large lead.
. Comparison of vehicle usage costs
In terms of vehicle usage costs, we compare them through energy costs, insurance costs, and maintenance costs, and assume that we run 20,000 kilometers a year and 100,000 kilometers in five years. In terms of energy costs, referring to the actual measured data of Zidong Chedi, the comprehensive average energy consumption of seals is 13.8kWh (16kWh in highways, 12.9kWh in cities, calculated according to the ratio of 30% in highways and 70% in cities), while Mondeo's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 7.16L. Based on the above two data, we calculate the energy costs.
Insurance generally has a higher premium in the first year, and the actual quotations will also vary according to the situation of the accident. For the sake of calculation, we assume that there will be no accident within five years, and the next four years will be calculated at a 30% discount. The estimated cost is as follows:
Maintenance cost, refer to the Zidongchedi model page → Parameter configuration → 60,000 kilometers of maintenance total cost estimate, and use this to estimate 100,000 kilometers and annual average cost in five years. It should be noted that the actual costs in different regions and stores may be different, and if the projects involved do not need to be replaced after inspection, they can save a fee. Of course, there are also some unmentioned items that need to be replaced after inspection. Therefore, the estimated costs below are for reference only:
A summary, we can also estimate the cost of using the car between the two, as follows:
Summary
From the comparison of these two mid-sized cars of the same price, the characteristics of the seal are distinctive in personality, the sporty appearance and the marine-themed interior can easily bring people good feelings, while Mondeo emphasizes the sense of power and momentum, and the through-type screen design is indeed very prominent. As for the cost of using a car, the estimated cost of Seal is naturally much lower than that of the Mondeo, a fuel vehicle. However, the addition of No. 92 gasoline and the measured fuel consumption of 100 kilometers also make Mondeo's car use cost at a low level among a number of fuel medium-sized cars. See here, if your budget is in this range, would you consider BYD Seals, or Ford Mondeo?
