[Aika car shopping guide original]
Nowadays, with the slow transfer of the main consumer population, more and more car companies are focusing on young people with new products, and there is no exception for an established company like Toyota, which has always sought stability. At the end of last year and the beginning of 2022, FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota successively introduced two new medium-sized SUVs, Lingfang and Weisa. The two cars are also different from our previous impression of Toyota SUV in terms of shape, and they have taken the route of personality and youthfulness. As the first model under Ford's new strategy, the EVOS is specifically designed for Chinese consumer preferences, and it also has the mission of opening up the young market. In this theme, we will compare GAC Toyota Vissa with Ford EVOS to see who can better capture the hearts of young consumers.
GAC Toyota Wesa launched a total of 6 models with fuel version and hybrid version, with a manufacturer guidance price of 216,800-303,800 yuan; Ford EVOS is fully equipped with a high-power version of the 2.0T engine, and the manufacturer guidance price is 19.98-25.98 million yuan. In this comparison, we selected the closest price of the Weisa dual engine two-wheel drive deluxe version (246,800) and EVOS 245 sport version (245,800), the difference between the two cars is only 1,000 yuan, which is a tit-for-tat confrontation.
Note: Due to the quality of the picture, in the appearance comparison section, Toyota Wesa and Ford EVOS have used other configuration models instead.
Appearance comments: As two models that focus on youth and personalization, Wesa and EVOS have certain differences in design from other models of their respective brands. But if you compare the two, Wessa looks more elegant, while the Ford EVOS is more assertive in the use of trim and lines, with a stronger sense of movement. In addition, the Ford EVOS has a completely leading body size.

Having said the exterior, let's compare the interior and configuration of the two cars. In the previous impression, interior design and technology configuration have always been Toyota's disadvantages, but in recent years, they have also made great progress in the interaction between vehicle systems and human-machine interaction. Ford's China 2.0 strategy has brought more subversive localization upgrades to their new products, and the emergence of triple screens has also allowed EVOS to better meet the needs of current consumers.
Not only is the size smaller, the toyota Wesa entry version is also lacking in the car networking function, but fortunately, the system supports CarPlay, CarLife and Hicar mobile phone interconnection, which also makes up for the lack of practicality to a certain extent. Ford EVOS's car machine is pre-installed with Baidu Maps, QQ music and some video applications, and it has a strong expansion ability. In addition, EVOS has voice recognition, OTA upgrades, gesture control and facial recognition functions that Weisa does not have. If Weisa is enough, then EVOS is better to meet the current consumer requirements for entertainment.
Interior, configuration summary: After a simple comparison, it is not difficult to find that the two cars compared today have completely different styles in the interior part. As a whole, WESA continues the Toyota-style classic, while EVOS has more subversive innovations under the new strategy of the Ford brand. And although the difference between the two is only 1,000 yuan, there is a large gap in the configuration part, and it can be said that EVOS has won a big victory in this link.
Interior and configuration comparison: EVOS wins
Although the positioning is also a medium-sized SUV, but from the body size point of view, Toyota Wesa and Ford EVOS have a considerable gap, so does this indicate that in the next space comparison link is still EVOS a big victory? Let's move on.
Space summary: In the ride space part, the performance of Weisa and EVOS does not have as large a gap as the body size, except for the slight lack of leg space in the rear, they are basically between Bo Zhong. And after the rear seats are lowered, Wesa also has stronger practicality, but its manually adjusted co-pilot is still a little shabby for this 200,000-plus model.
Editor's Summary: Overall, Toyota Wesa and Ford EVOS are two completely different types of models, and their audiences are not the same. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Wesa is still a relatively traditional SUV in terms of styling, but the EVOS is more like a coupe and the design is more ostentatious. At the same time, in a variety of comfort and technology configurations, EVOS is also fully ahead, so it is more suitable for those consumers who have higher demand for technology and configuration. In contrast, Wesa is more luxurious, and the larger luggage compartment space and stronger fuel economy also add a lot of home attributes to the car.
