Changan Ford Mondeo Zhisheng 2014 model compared with 2013 007 car performance shrink

The scene of Mondeo winning in 007 made Ford's B-class model famous. In the editor's opinion, Mondeo Zhisheng 2013 model is indeed classic, but it has been discontinued and can't be bought. The 2014 model is also excellent, but by contrast, the new Mondeo is a little less generous.

Appearance is a gimmick, mechanical performance is the king

In this article, we will not describe too much about the configuration of 2014 Mondeo. I think you all know it very well. Today, we will compare the engine and gearbox of 2013 and 2014 Mondeo Zhisheng, and experience the mechanical performance of the two models.

Why replace the powershift dual clutch 6-speed transmission

At that time, for the 2013 model of Zhisheng, the powershift dual clutch transmission has always been the magic weapon of its class 200000 B. it forms a golden combination with the 2.0L EcoBoost GTDi in cylinder direct injection engine. The shift is smooth, the logic is reasonable, and there is no obvious frustration. It is very linear and powerful in the driving process.

The same as Volkswagen DSG is a dry-type double clutch gearbox. Because of the core technology that the clutch and gear shifting are driven by the motor, it is not as high as the failure rate of Volkswagen DSG gearbox, and it is very stable and durable.

Therefore, we can't understand that the 2014 Mondeo has changed the dual clutch into a 6at. The official explanation is that the dual clutch is not stable enough, which runs counter to the slogan of how superior and stable the dual clutch is. It must be to control the cost.

At the same time, the EcoBoost, which is equipped with the 2014 Mondeo, has reduced its horsepower by 3 HP and 242 HP. At the same time, with the drag of 6at gearbox, its 0 ~ 100 acceleration performance is slightly reduced compared with the old model, which is also the fact that small editors cannot accept.

Interior space becomes the pain of 2014 new Mondeo

Some people like the classic appearance of the old Mondeo, while others don't like the old-fashioned front of the car. The overall appearance is not as aggressive as the bluffing 'Aston Mondeo'. It's a matter of different opinions. Which one you like depends on your personal preference. But the shrinking interior space of the new Mondeo is unacceptable to many consumers.

Due to the overall shape design, the width of the new Mondeo has been reduced from 1888 to 1854. The streamlined car body makes the head space depressed, and the rear space fails to inherit the advantages of the 2013 Mondeo, which makes it difficult for people to sit in.

To sum up, Mondeo won the 2014 model, leaving behind all the trump card advantages of the 13 styles. At the same time, due to the reason that it just came into the market, the price of its car is on the high side, which can't be compared with the price of the old model with a discount of 35000-40000 at that time, so it has no advantage in cost performance.

It's a pity that the 2013 Mondeo Zhisheng has stopped production. We should know that Chang'an has changed the old concept of fuel consumption by Ford, and opened up the B-class car market with its excellent mechanical properties. Why not take advantage of the success to pursue, but instead take the short-term violent route of raising the car price and making money from the appearance goods?
