2 Answers
The 2013 Mondeo weighs approximately 1.659 tons. Here is some information about the Mondeo: 1. Introduction: The Ford New Mondeo-Zhishang was launched nationwide on March 17, 2011, and is the most technologically advanced model under Changan Ford. The Mondeo underwent 232 engineering changes in terms of body and interior/exterior design, component design, manufacturing processes, and materials. The 2.0-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine and six-speed dual-clutch transmission are both Ford's latest technologies, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.3 seconds and a combined fuel consumption of 7.9 liters per 100 km. 2. Features: Front parking radar, blind spot monitoring, rearview camera system, tire pressure monitoring system, electric child safety lock, and rain-sensing wipers. 3. Exterior: It features a large honeycomb lower grille, which not only improves intercooler and radiator cooling efficiency but also enhances the dynamic appeal. The blackened headlight bases increase the contrast in lighting, and the use of small aerodynamic kits at the bottom of the vehicle achieves a perfect balance of dynamism and elegance.
I've driven the 2013 Mondeo, and this car is definitely not light, with a typical curb weight ranging between 1500 kg to 1600 kg. My 1.6L version weighed about 1520 kg. With such heft, you can really feel the body's stability when driving—it stays planted even during high-speed turns, making it perfect for long-distance trips like the ones I enjoy. The downside, however, is slightly higher fuel consumption; in city driving, mine averages around 10L per 100 km, which isn't as efficient as newer models today. The weight comes from extensive use of steel materials, offering better protection in accidents, but it does make acceleration feel a bit sluggish, taking over 8 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, lacking the agility of smaller cars. Overall, the Mondeo's weight strikes a balance between safety and practicality. If you're considering one, remember to factor in the engine type—for instance, the 2.0L versions are heavier, nearing 1600 kg.
