Editor's comment:As two veterans in the mid-size car market, their competitive relationship has lasted for more than ten years. However, due to the decline in Ford's brand influence in recent years, Mondeo has also lost its original competitiveness. However, this time the new Mondeo has caused a sensation by reducing prices and increasing equipment. Although the Passat's competitiveness is not as good as before, its brand influence is still the same. Therefore, even though its pricing is almost the same as that of the Mondeo, its configuration is much inferior.
