The latest generation Mondeo launched by Changan Ford in April 2022 is a very thoroughly localized product, with a large space, a large screen and 20T strong power highlights product strength. This year, the manufacturer launched the Mondeo 1The 5T model, the entry price has dropped to 150,000 yuan, focusing on cost performance. In November, the Mondeo sold nearly 7,000 units, which is a good result. However, due to the industry's increasing requirements for energy consumption, 2The disadvantage of high fuel consumption of 0t power is becoming more and more significant, and 15T is relatively good in terms of power, and how to effectively reduce energy consumption on the basis of maintaining power advantages is a problem that Mondeo must face. Recently, Changan Ford handed over an answer, that is, to replace the new 15T e-hybrid powertrain, follow us to take a look at the new car features.

Mondeo 1The 5T e-Hybrid is available in only two variants, the Luxury and the ST-Line, and the exterior is basically the same as the petrol version.

Kandi Comments:

A large percentage of the Mondeo's user base is interested in its good sense of acceleration and handling, although these users may not care so much about fuel consumption, but manufacturers are under great pressure to double points. How to effectively reduce fuel consumption without losing power, the simple improvement of the engine has come to an end, but the use of hybrid power can play a good role. In this hybrid system, the drive motor has a high torque and can achieve a good acceleration experience. We anticipate that 1The 5T e-hybrid will gradually replace the 20T power has become the main model.
