在广州车展上，长安福特展示了国内首款插电式混合动力车型——福特新蒙迪欧插电混动版。这款车型是整个主流合资中型车市场上第一款能够享受补贴和产生积分的车型。蒙迪欧插电混动版将于明年年初正式投产。到2025年，长安福特旗下的全部车型都将提供电动版本。这款车用一个键就可以完成所有的体验。该车采用了EVAuto/EVNow/EVLater，而不像一般的插电混动车型一样有诸如“EV/HEV/SPORT”之类的切换，这样非常直观的表述字眼。此外，蒙迪欧插电混动版用树叶形象地表达了当前的节能情况。当节能越多，叶子就会越长越多。该车还采用了新的三元锂电池组，纯电续驶里程达到了52公里，长安福特也为这套电池组提供了8年16万公里的质保。这款车搭载一台2.0L阿特金森循环引擎和eCVT电控无级变速器，这和此前的蒙迪欧混动版车型相一致。而通过“福特派”车载互联和手机应用，用户可以在手机上查看电池状态、行驶里程、充电状态等信息，并能够查找公共充电桩。实际上，在“1515战略”后，福特在中国发布新车的速度有所减缓。在新车节奏没有到来之前，长安福特在品牌营销、体系建设等方面稳固基础，为接下来的新车投放做准备。

Changan Ford shows first PHEV in China

Changan Ford displays its Mondeo PHEV version at Auto Guangzhou 2017, which is Changan Ford’s first PHEV model and the first mainstream model enjoying subsidies and credits among all joint-venture middle-size vehicles.

The model will be put into production at the beginning of next year. All models under Changan Ford brand will provide electric versions by 2025.

The energy-saving Mondeo PHEV model uses one button to provide all shift experience with word of “EV Auto/EV Now/EV Later” rather than “EV/HEV/SPORT” on general PHEV models. Besides, leaf image on the model intuitively expresses the current energy-saving conditions with longer leaf representing more saving energies. The model also uses the new ternary lithium batteries providing cruise mileage of 52KM with pure electric conditions and warranty of 160,000KM in 8 years.

The model uses 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine and eCVT, similar to other Mondeo HEV versions. Customers may refer to battery condition, driving mileages and charging conditions on mobile phones by loading “Ford School” Internet applications, as well as searching for public charging posts.

In fact, Ford has slowed down its progress in releasing new models in China since the “1515 strategy”. Currently, Changan Ford is making foundation in brand sales and system construction to prepare for oncoming new models’ release.
