Ford Mondeo: child of globalization

Following the model of the Focus of the third generation Ford decided to lead to a single global denominator and family standing in the brand rankings on the step above...
The truth is, as before, the model in Europe and overseas will be different: Mondeo and Fusion, respectively. The new cladding of the radiator will change from the Evos concept with little change. Unless the hundredth is going to give way to horizontal lops. The head optics will be more vertical, but the common form will also remain as the concept car. A round fog lamp will appear in the front air intakes of the front bumper. The logo will now be located not inside the radiator grill, but over it-on the roll of pothole, the key stylistic solutions will be reflected in the design of novelty, it was easy to guess from the September concept of Evos. Of course, there will be no door to the serial-car door, but the typical hexagonal cladding of a positive radiant tilt is sure to go straight to Mndeo, with minimal changes. Some associates the new face of Ford with Mini, others refer to Aston Martin, but the greatest similarity is still visible with the front part of the 124 Fiat 124 Spider. This trapezoic form of the radiator grille is not new......... In the 1950s and 1960s, it was discovered in Mini cars.............................. and the Aston Martin, it is safe to assume that the shape of the headlights will also be similar to the "evosov", but their proportions will become others-the car kind of looks at the eye. Well, it's very likely that the floats on the rear wings of the racks will also be maintained. The first car, where the large and small lining of the radiator changed, became the concept of the Ford Start concept, which was last year at the Beijing Motor Show. But serially surround such a stylistic decision, the company decided only at the beginning of this year. The Taurus sedan for the American market was introduced as a test subject. However, as long as the radiator's linings have a traditional negative tilt, and the top of the base Ford TaurusA is the same, the proportions of the car will become more common, and accordingly sports in appearance will be added up. But there is nothing to be done: the new Mondeo/Fusion is still a large family car and ergonomics, as well as the parlour in the salon must at least not yield to the predecessor. A wave fitting in the rear of the rack is likely to be a branching design element. The rear lamps will give way to a more familiar form. Chassis is unlikely to change in principle. Unless someone is familiar with the new Focus, steering wheel torque redistribution system (TVC). But there is a change in power units. First, atmospheric motors will be completely removed from the gamma, with all the petrol going directly to the direct injection. Secondly, there will certainly be a hybrid version-where it is today. The "robots" will be exclusively "robots" PowerShift with two "wet" clutches. Gasoline engines will be represented by 1.6-and 2,0-liter units. The first is in two articles: capacity 150 and 180 litres. Two-hundred-horsepovs back-off. However, it cannot be ruled out that for American Fusion, atmospheric V-shaped "P5" and hydromechanical ACP will still be left in the range. The combination of these people is very much in love with the people. The New World is not likely to be seen. But in the old they will become the main-137-strong volume of 1.6 l and 2-liter 163-strong. If for Europe the role of the main powertrain is claimed by a modern 1.6 litre turbodiesel with a return of 137 hp........................ For Russia, this kind of role is being prepared for an inflatable gasoline engine of the EcoBoost family of the same working volume. The atmospheric engines will leave the European market at all. But for the ocean Fusion, it is not ruled out that we will leave the option of the V-shaped "Six" Very powerful market trend-equipment of all novelties with the maximum number of electronic interactive entertainment systems. Here Ford has an excellent trump card-developed with Microsoft's Ford SYNC system. It can be used to control many of the machine's functions through voice commands. A lot of applications have been developed under the Ford SYNC. They allow, for example, to fully work with smartphones, receive expanded road information, reports on the state of the car, work with mobile office programs, get remote access to other computers and more. The serial version of the new generation of Mondeo is likely to be demonstrated in the spring of the next year at the Geneva Motor Show. Well, the car ready for production will be shown to the general public in the autumn in Paris. The new Mondeo is likely to rise to the conveyor belt in early 2013. Then the dealers will be here. In my opinion. " I would like to hope that the new Mondeo will not repeat the fate of the predecessor. I mean the fact that in 2005 at the Frankfurt Auto Show showed the concept Iosis, which, like Evos, was supposed to be a precursor of a serial car. But when it came to the conveyor, the light was a fairly ordinary car, from which the headlights had come from the concept car. All the finesse of the kinetic bodies of the body, like a cow licking. Now, it looks like the fordovs decided not to attack the platitudes of platitudes for the second time. Apparently, in addition to the optics, the new Mondeo will definitely inherit a very glamour lining of the radiator, and the crest on the hood, and the graceful "waves" on the rear fenders. The most important thing is to put it all into action and everything to the place. Victor Fomin, Editor-in-Chief
