On June 7, 2024, Ford Mondeo Sport Edition was officially launched at the Chongqing International Auto Show, with two models priced at 20.98-22.98 million yuan. To celebrate the launch of Mondeo Sport Edition, the entire Mondeo series simultaneously launched the 618 gratitude promotion, with 0 down payment and 0 interest rates.
In terms of appearance, the new car continues the design style of the current Ford EVOS, with only upgrades in details, adopting a 5-door hatchback coupe body structure, exuding a sporty vibe. The front hexagonal grille features a 3D scale design, “blacked out” and with active closing function. The L-shaped headlights on both sides are also distinctive and recognizable.
The car’s side profile features a strong waistline and hidden door handles, adding elegance with a touch of wildness. The dual-tone body color and 20-inch low drag wheels enhance the sporty look. The rear end showcases the popular integrated taillight design, with a “Hybrid” badge on the left side of the tailgate for easy identification.
In terms of body size, the Ford Mondeo Sport is superior to its counterparts, with a nearly 5-meter long body, nearly 3-meter wheelbase, and a golden wheelbase ratio of 0.597, creating an executive-level space enjoyment. With nearly one meter of legroom in the second row, a flat second-row floor design, a 0.94 square meter panoramic sunroof, you can enjoy a stable and comfortable “big flat floor” experience. When the second-row seats are folded down, the trunk volume can be expanded to a maximum of 1550L, fully meeting the needs of a family’s poetry and distant travels.
Thanks to the unique coupe design of the new car, the Mondeo sports version reaches a height of 1.6 meters, with a minimum ground clearance of 168mm, providing more space and better maneuverability. In addition to its eye-catching appearance and superior space compared to its peers, the most impressive feature of the Mondeo sports version is its power. Inheriting the performance DNA of the Ford brand, it is equipped with the leading EcoBoost® series engine and Ford’s innovative power distribution technology. The Ford fifth-generation EcoBoost® 2.0T engine, with a maximum power of 212kW and a maximum torque of 403N·m. With the high-power engine as the foundation, Ford’s high-horsepower E hybrid system is equipped with a self-developed high-speed flat-wire oil-cooled motor, which can achieve higher slot fill rates and high power density. In electric drive mode, it provides high power from the start, making it easy to accelerate quickly. It is worth mentioning that the Mondeo sports version equipped with this high-horsepower E hybrid system has a comprehensive power of 227kW, up to 308 horsepower, comparable to the power level of a V6 engine.
Of course, the high-power E hybrid system not only provides a thrilling driving experience, but also achieves remarkable fuel efficiency. Under WLTC standards, the comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 5.99 liters per 100 kilometers, with highway fuel consumption even lower at 4.64 liters per 100 kilometers. The comprehensive range can reach up to 915 kilometers, allowing consumers to enjoy powerful performance while saving fuel. With strong power, the safety of the three-electric system must be strictly controlled. Ford’s performance in this aspect is well-known, and the Mondeo also boasts exceptional safety quality. The Mondeo 4-door model not only won the first place in J.D. Power’s 2023 China Vehicle Reliability Study for midsize sedans, but also received a full “G” rating in three core safety indexes in the C-IASI evaluation by China Insurance Research Institute. The new car extends from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, using the industry-leading 1700MPa ultra-high strength 3D roll forming process martensitic steel, with over 52% of the vehicle made of high-strength steel of 600MPa or higher, and the roof can withstand a pressure load of 8.79 tons.
In addition, the Mondeo continuously enhances its safety quality testing: increasing vehicle crash tests by over 50% beyond national standards and third-party testing; adding full coverage dummy tests from infants to adults; and conducting rigorous engine, gearbox, and battery pack tests to ensure safety in extreme conditions. The Mondeo Sport version is equipped with the Co-Pilot360™ intelligent driving assistance system, consisting of 17 sub-functions, along with Ford’s first cellular vehicle-to-vehicle technology system, making travel easier, safer, and more efficient. With the introduction of the Mondeo Sport version, the Mondeo family matrix is further improved, becoming the most sincere mid-to-high-end vehicle with 4 power systems rarely seen in its class, meeting the desires of young people with advancing product capabilities, and providing a higher value choice for young consumers with better quality and price ratios.
