Zhang Qinghui/Taipei report
Under the wave of SUVs, medium and large RVs are in a dilemma of sharp decline in attention. Even if brands continue to introduce various new cars, they are often "welcome but not popular", and the volume is not directly reflected in sales, which has also caused some brands to begin to rethink the front layout and try to seek breakthroughs in adversity. Ford's latest strategy is to "enhance the combat power of Mondeo Wagon" and directly respond to the battle with a single travel vehicle model.
▲In the past, the RV alone had three powers: gasoline, diesel and oil-electricity, but under the wave of leisure and tourism, Ford Liuhe finally chose to fight with a single gasoline station wagon.
SUVs are convenient, but for enthusiastic car fans who pay attention to control, "high" has an absolute negative impact on control. If the large space for SUVs can be maintained, and the appropriate height of the RVs can be maintained, wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone? The station wagon is such a charming existence. If you are a little more greedy and have plenty of motivation, it is very appropriate to describe Mondeo Wagon as "what can you ask for?"
▲Mondeo Wagon is 4,871mm long and has a wheelbase of 2,850mm. With the beautiful lines of the station wagon, it is very eye-catching regardless of movement.
Mondeo Wagon still maintains its previous bright appearance, with a light set with a sense of technology and texture, and a "Martin head" that is not tired of looking. Even by current standards, it is still a handsome guy with high appearance, and the well-received lights are all retained. Of course, the most graceful side lines of the station wagon are a beautiful picture that makes many cars fascinate. Mondeo Wagon has also successfully achieved a slim fit, which often makes people appreciate it.
▲Although there are not many changes in the appearance, the lighting design can still be regarded as a combination of texture and technology by current standards.
As for the most attractive interior functions of the station wagon, it is naturally a highlight of the Mondeo Wagon. In addition to tilting through the rear seats, allowing the storage space to vary between 500 liters and 1,605 liters, the suitcase space management kit can also help users to make better use of the rear cabin function. At a time when all companies emphasize new technology, Mondeo Wagon uses a 10.1-inch full-color LCD instrument panel, an 8-inch touch screen, and a SYNC 3 entertainment communication integration system with a smart phone connection capability, to meet the needs of modern people.
▲Mondeo Wagon's suitcase space can vary from 500 liters to 1,605 liters, and can be used properly with the management kit.
Since Ford dares to call himself "flagship running", the power of Mondeo Wagon is naturally above the level. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost direct injection turbo engine , which can output 240 horsepower and 35.2 kilograms of torque. It is matched with a 6-speed SelectShift manual transmission. Although the official does not provide 0-100km/h acceleration data, it is still exciting when driving with all your strength. The identity of the running travel is absolutely true.
▲Mondeo Wagon adopts a single power setting, with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost direct injection turbo engine paired with a 6-speed SelectShift manual transmission.
. One of the key points of this facelift is to add a CCD variable damping suspension system, which can switch between comfort, standard and sports in three stages. Although it is not a new technology, Mondeo Wagon can indeed achieve "clear segments", and each stage can meet the needs of the current situation, but the switching method is not very intuitive. You need to use the steering wheel keys to enter the dashboard menu to adjust, and there is room for improvement in ease of use.
▲CCD variable damping suspension system can provide 3-segment switching, and it is clear in segments, which means that the operation logic is slightly more complex.
If you want to talk about the most exciting improvement in Mondeo Wagon, the addition of CoPilot 360 Technology is not as high as Focus's CoPilot 360 (so it must be added "Technology"), but it can also provide mainstream equipment such as ACC active speed control, PCA forward collision warning, AEB full-speed domain assisted stop (can detect pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles), LKA and LDW lane offset assisted warning, finally allowing Mondeo Wagon to face all kinds of opponents in "smart war". It is undoubtedly an attractive choice for individual family buyers who desire performance, control, space and safety.
▲After adding CCD and CoPilot 360 Technology, the suggested selling price of Mondeo Wagon has been revised down.
