The reasons for the low sales of the Mondeo are as follows: 1. Model perspective: The Mondeo has not undergone a generational update for over seven years, with the current model being at the end of its product lifecycle. Its competitiveness is far inferior to that of its peers in the B-segment market. It's understandable that the Mondeo's performance is lackluster when a model can be sold for seven to eight years without a generational update. 2. The car itself: The interior craftsmanship is a weak point, with outdated styling and materials that are not outstanding. The layout design looks dated at first glance. Even the traditionally conservative Japanese car designs have broken away from their past conventions, while the current Mondeo's interior and exterior do not align well and lack the most popular elements and designs of today. 3. Brand perspective: Ford's current influence and recognition in the domestic market are not as strong as before, with significant declines in both sales and reputation. This is largely due to the untimely updates of its models, which have strayed from market trends. 4. Competition from rival models: From the eighth-generation Camry to the tenth-generation Accord, and then to the seventh-generation Teana, competing models have successively completed generational updates. Whether in terms of appearance or interior design and configuration, they all align with current automotive market consumption trends. These models themselves are fuel-efficient, durable, have fewer minor issues, and meet the needs of family use.

I've always felt that the Mondeo is quite a pity, because its performance is decent and the space is also good, but why doesn't it sell well? I think there are several main reasons: SUVs are too popular now, and people are willing to spend a little more to buy an SUV like the CR-V or RAV4, which offers more space and practicality; the Mondeo's design updates are too slow, and the interior and exterior look conservative, making young people feel it's outdated at first glance; fuel consumption is also an issue, as the hybrid version of the same-class Camry is much more fuel-efficient; there's also the issue of brand trust, with many people worried about Ford's reliability compared to Japanese cars; and the price isn't competitive, with a not-so-low entry price but unimpressive configurations, making it less attractive than domestic new energy vehicles like BYD. So I guess consumers are more willing to spend their money on trendier or more cost-effective cars, which is why you don't see many Mondeos on the road.

What Are the Conditions for Activating Volkswagen's Coasting Mode?

The gear selector must be in position D to activate Volkswagen's coasting mode. Method to Activate Coasting Mode: Lift your foot off the accelerator pedal. The engine power is disconnected and idles. The vehicle coasts without engine braking, utilizing its inertia to save fuel through anticipatory driving. With the engine power disconnected and no longer braking the vehicle, it can coast for a longer distance. Precautions When Activating Coasting Mode: Do not coast in neutral. When coasting in neutral, the automatic transmission oil pump stops working due to the gear position, causing all components inside the transmission to lose cooling. This can damage internal parts of the automatic transmission, leading to issues like wheel slippage and posing certain safety risks.
