What Do I Think of the Ford Mondeo Sport Edition? How's the Car? Is Ford Leaving China?

- Chang'an Ford is not likely to exit the Chinese market in the short term. Traditional joint venture fuel car brands are under great pressure in China, but Ford is not the most affected. Even if there is a departure, Ford will not be the first to go. The newly launched Mondeo Sport Edition is quite well invested. Its technical route is identical to Toyota's THS (Ford also has the right to use related patents), but it is not entirely focused on economy. It uses the high-power sixth-generation EcoBoost 2.0T engine, with dual motor units using a planetary gear set for power distribution. The power performance is much stronger than the Camry Hybrid. Although the fuel consumption is a bit higher, it is still a similar technical solution, so it can also be controlled at a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5L/100km. For those who drive more aggressively, it is definitely a more balanced choice.

Considering a Second-Hand MPV: Which Should I Choose?

Actually, the price of the Odyssey has come down a lot, with significant discounts. I think the Odyssey is the most balanced among these cars, but its safety is not high, which is very much in line with the characteristics of being economical, durable, and worry-free. I personally think the M8 Master's assembly process is average, and second-hand models may have minor issues like strange noises, and it doesn't have a fuel consumption advantage. The Custo, however, is the most cost-effective among these three, although I personally find its appearance unattractive. My suggestion is to first consider the new Custo, and then a second-hand Odyssey (but second-hand cars still depend on the car's condition).

A Review of the Trumpchi ES9: What Are Its Pros and Cons?

The Trumpchi ES9 is actually quite good in all aspects, including its hybrid structure, and it's worth buying. It may not have any major highlights in marketing. There are many homogenized products at this level and price, especially some new force brands that have an advantage, and ES9 doesn't have an advantage in terms of influence, appearing weak in presence. From a product point of view, there are no highlights, but there are no obvious shortcomings.

Looking for Low Fuel Consumption without a Charging Condition: How About the Chang'an UNI-Z?

This car inherits the "hybrid-specific engine + front axle dual motor" plug-in hybrid technology route of the Chang'an Qiyuan series (officially called the new Blue Whale hybrid system), which is not the P2 layout single motor plug-in hybrid system of the previous Chang'an Zhidian iDD. It is the most mainstream plug-in hybrid solution in China at present, similar to BYD DM-i, Great Wall DHT, and Geely Hi·X. The overall power consumption is controlled within 5L/100km, which can absolutely meet your low fuel consumption needs (even if you can't charge). If you value cost-effectiveness, this car is worth considering. For other models in the same class, you can also look at the Chery Fengyun T9, which also uses a similar hybrid technology route, but with a higher power and higher thermal efficiency 1.5T engine, and the body uses more high-strength steel and above, although it is relatively more expensive, it is definitely a high cost-effective choice in the same class. If the budget is limited, you can also wait for the upcoming Wuling Xingguang S, which is expected to be in the 100,000 class.
