Ford EVOS continues the concept car name, with technology as the design element, carrying a pure fuel core

With the design characteristics of new energy models, there is also a sense of scientific and technological atmosphere to create, and it is similar to new energy models in terms of naming, so it must be a new energy model? As it turns out, not necessarily. Such models are no longer uncommon for many people, such as Geely ICON, such as the Changan UNI series three brothers "K, T, V", and even Ford EVOS.
These models are all fuel models, although the appearance and naming look like new energy vehicles, but this is only a way of model design. EVOS is Ford's new model, and the exterior design of this model subverts the previous design style of the Ford family, EVOS does have a sense of sport, but more integrated into a technological element.
The light group of the model adopts a split structure, but its day-running lamp adopts a penetrating layout, broadening the visual effect of the entire front face, although it is not so gorgeous, but after lighting, there will be a sense of refinement. The taillights at the rear of the car echo the front-facing daytime lights, which also use through-line taillights, and the downward curvature of the taillights is somewhat similar to the arc of the taillights of the Aston Martin DB11.
The logo located in the grid network adopts a concave layout, which is also Ford's latest logo design method, which looks more three-dimensional. The grille of the central net adopts the texture of smoked black tiles of high-gloss piano paint, and in the official language, it is a 3D parametric scale grille, which looks like a sparkling feeling. And the scaly grille also moves up and down, with some effect on changing the flow of air, but more of a sense of ritual.
This is an SUV positioned in the B-class field, which belongs to the large-scale model, but at the same time it is also a crossover SUV, with a slip-on design on the top, but the height of the entire body is not heavy. Therefore, from the side, the overall body reflects a sense of slenderness, rather than the heavy effect inherent in the tradition of SUVs.
This structural proportion can well modify the SUV's sneaky design, which looks very natural and does not feel abrupt. The downward top trend of the slippery back is relatively gentle, especially in the upper position of the second row, the downward arc is relatively stable, so the design is to reduce the intrusion of the sliding top into the rear head space of the car, which can further retain the height space in the car.
If you want to open the tailgate, you need to press the Ford logo at the rear of the car, and the hatchback tailgate has a large opening curve, which makes it easier to place items. The interior design of the car also has a full sense of technology, because the display screen of the central control runs horizontally through the center console, and the screen length is about 1.1 meters, which belongs to the 12.3-inch instrument + 27-inch 4K screen, which creates a sense of technology for the car.
This display type is "with fish screen", which is also a screen design method that is not currently available on any fuel vehicle except EVOS. In fact, the practical effect of this type of display is not as good as imagined, its menu interface is very long, requiring the driver to pull and adjust, even if it is watching video, the picture is only centered in accordance with the fixed video proportions.
At present, there are four configuration versions given by Ford EVOS, but in terms of power, the whole system is equipped with a standard 2.0T displacement, which has a power value that is not low, with a horsepower value of up to 238 horses and a torque of 376 Nm. However, there are two options in terms of gearbox, the low-end version uses an 8-speed automatic, and the remaining model version matches the 8-speed hand self-integration.
summary:
In fact, the naming of EVOS and the design method of the model have been paved for a long time ago, when Ford released a concept model, and the name of this model is called EVOS. Ten years later, today's EVOS has entered mass production, continuing the naming of the concept model at that time, and some design elements of the concept car have been selected at the design level, but more is the presentation of freshness. Because the design of that concept car ten years ago was not suitable for today, more design elements of the current trend have been added to the mass production version of EVOS. The internal space of the model is retained in place, and from the layout of the interior, We can feel Ford's desire to remove the old cloth and make a new one, but the model retains the essence of the fuel vehicle at the level of energy mode, and the overall design sense is still the focus.
