Under the trend of the car market with a prosperous leisure and tourism trend, we specially planned a long-distance road test of more than 800 kilometers. The protagonist of the test drive was the Ford Mondeo Wagon facelift model.
In order to examine the various practical performance of the station wagon model, we specially planned a long-distance road test of more than 800 kilometers for four days and three nights. The protagonist of the test drive was the Ford Mondeo Wagon small-format model launched in China in July.
has updated the appearance and active safety and greatly improved
First of all, let's take a look at the changes in this Ford Mondeo Wagon facelift model. It has introduced a new generation of family-style hexagonal water tank shield on the front part. There is also a redesigned air intake grille and fog lamp shape under the front bar, and the texture of the front is enhanced through the black piano painted decorative panel. In addition to the embellishment of black piano painted trim at the rear of the car, the taillights continue to the past, with LED light strips, and the taillights on both sides are connected through chrome trim strips to emphasize the luxury of the appearance through details.
Mondeo Wagon The facelifted model continues the previous basic design, mainly updates the details of the front shape, thereby giving new appearance.

Although the basic equipment settings of
remain the same, the facelifted Mondeo Wagon has introduced the driving assistance and safety protection functions of Co-Pilot360 Technology for the first time, including ACC active cruise control, PCA forward collision warning, AEB full-speed domain assisted stop, LDW lane offset warning, LKA lane offset assist, APA active all-round parking assist, as well as AHB automatic high beam, AFS headlight active steering lighting assistance, BLIS visual blind spot detection system, and CTA reverse incoming car warning. For long-distance travel, the improvement of active safety equipment can help drivers share more attention to real-time road conditions and reduce fatigue in long-distance driving.

Among them, ACC active cruise control can be controlled through the speed key on the left side of the steering wheel.
Practical equipment details add convenience to long-distance travel
This time the test drive itinerary starts from Taoyuan and connects to Suhuagai on the first day. Then drive Suhua Highway and heads straight to Taitung. The test drive members include two large and two small and four days and three nights of luggage. As for the model setting of the facelifted Mondeo Wagon, in addition to the room space that corresponds to this trip, the 500-liter luggage compartment is very useful, and it is even equipped with a luggage management space kit to prevent luggage of all sizes from running around. The configuration of the electric tailgate and the significantly lower opening design than the SVs make it much more convenient to get luggage. This is also the impressive feature of the facelifted Mondeo Wagon during long distances.
The basic capacity of 500 liters of luggage compartment space is quite sufficient, and even a luggage management space kit set is equipped to prevent luggage of all sizes from running around. The configuration of the electric tailgate and the significantly lower opening design than the SVV make it much more convenient to get luggage.
During the long-distance driving test, I encountered a remote mountainous section with almost no street lights at night. Only then can I truly feel the convenience of the LED headlight group with AHB automatic high beam and AFS headlight active steering lighting assistance, because its automatic high beam will automatically turn on without a vehicle in the opposite direction, and will automatically switch immediately when the opposite vehicle appears, which will not cause the danger of coming in the opposite direction. Active steering lighting can also allow the driver to know the road conditions in advance, showing the true value of its headlight technology.
LED headlight set is equipped with AHB automatic high beam and AFS headlight active steering lighting assistance. In remote mountainous sections with almost no street lights at night, it can effectively exert its lighting effect and reduce the risk of driving in low-light sections at night.
In addition, the comfort and equipment in the car are also quite satisfactory. In addition to the front dual seats with 10-way electric adjustment and electric waist function, it can reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving, in the hot climate where the daytime is over 35 degrees and the test drive is not covered with heat insulation paper, the dual-zone constant temperature air conditioner and the cold room with the rear seat air outlet are very good. After turning on the air conditioner for about ten minutes, the comfortable interior temperature can be quickly reached. For summer trips, the excellent performance of the air conditioner system can greatly improve the comfort of the ride.

Benefiting from the spacious rear seat space and the slightly prominent ISO-FIX buckle design, it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble the child safety seat, and the center armrest of the rear seat can still be placed. The design of the built-in cup holder of the central armrest can also place children's kettle and other supplies.
2.0 liter turbo power setting, CCD is configured for the first time. Variable damping suspension
Mondeo Wagon In this small facelift action, no updates are made for the power, and the combination of 2.0 liter direct injection turbo power and a 6-speed manual transmission is still maintained. Although the 1,690 kg car is not as lightweight, its maximum horsepower output of 240 horsepower is already easy. Especially in the more commonly used low- and medium-speed areas, the maximum torque of 35.2 kg meters can be continuously output from the engine speed of 2,300 to 4,900 rpm. Therefore, unless you need to overtake and accelerate in mountainous areas or highways, there is little time to deliberately increase the engine speed when using it on ordinary roads.

Mondeo Wagon's CCD variable damping suspension system is introduced for the first time. It needs to be selected through the driving control on the instrument to enter the selection, providing sports, standard and comfort modes. The vehicle is set in standard mode after opening, while on Suhua Highway, it is deliberately used to use the sports mode. It can be felt that the suspension support during cornering has been improved, but the vibration will be more obvious when passing through uneven roads. Therefore, for the comfort of passengers' long-distance travel, the comfort mode is selected when many curved roads in non-mountain areas to enhance the texture of the ride.
CCD The variable damping suspension system can be selected through the driving control of the instrument, providing sports, standard and comfort modes. The diverse suspension support changes can correspond to the needs of multiple road surfaces, and can also improve the comfort performance of long-distance travel.
, and the small facelifted version adds a number of active safety equipment, which is quite useful on highways. Although the ACC active cruise control will automatically be released at a speed of less than 30 kilometers per hour, as long as you don’t encounter a traffic jam that stops and walks all the way, you only need to hold the steering wheel. When the vehicle accidentally presses the markings on both sides, the LDW lane offset warning and LKA lane offset assist will also act immediately to remind the driver. The only regret is that it lacks the function of maintaining lane maintenance, so the system will only pull back and will not have the function of actively maintaining the vehicle's mid-line driving.
, assisted by ACC active cruise control, LDW lane offset warning and LKA lane offset assist system, can make driving easier when driving on highways or fast roads, and can also reduce the potential danger caused by fatigue during long distances.
This time, the long-distance mileage test drive of the facelift Mondeo Wagon, the test drive section can be said to include sections of roads with various terrain, and even narrower mountainous sections that require driving. The total mileage is 878 kilometers and the total driving time of the vehicle is 24 hours and 37 minutes. After spending a long time with the facelifted Mondeo Wagon, it is not difficult to realize the charm of the station wagon. It not only has the same riding comfort as a sedan, but also has a lower body center of gravity design compared to the SUV model, which can significantly reduce the degree of passengers' prone to motion sickness on mountain roads. The volume performance and space changes of the luggage compartment are not inferior to those of the SUV. In addition, the power output performance of 240 horsepower makes it quite competent in long-distance travel and in all aspects, becoming a good companion in travel.
