In fact, before I came into contact with Ford EVOS, I always thought that this was a new energy model, because in the current environment, major brands have launched a lot of new energy models, not to mention that "EVOS" is also a very new energy name. After I read some information, I found that The Ford EVOS is a traditional fuel vehicle based on the FNV intelligent interconnection network architecture, positioned in a cross-border coupe SUV, and the price of more than 200,000 yuan can be said to make it look cost-effective.
The Ford EVOS was unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show last year, and the first thing that came to me at first glance was that the car was very similar to Ford's first pure electric model, the Mustang Mach-E. The front face is partly designed with a Ford family, and at first glance it still has a bit of Aston Martin's sense of déjà vu. The grille part adopts a very three-dimensional scale armor design, and the bright black paint also makes the entire front of the car look very textured. The front face shape is not only outstanding in design, but also has an active grille inside. The headlight part adopts the popular through-channel design, and the headlight source is full LED.
When the key is unlocked, the headlight will also be lit in the form of a breathing lamp, which can be said to be really full of ritual. The front part of the car also "hides" some hardware: the ACC adaptive cruise radar is placed in the middle of the front bumper, and the 360-degree panoramic camera can also help the vehicle achieve AR real-life navigation functions.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Ford EVOS are 4920, 1920 and 1600mm, respectively, and the wheelbase of 2945mm is also quite powerful, and the longer wheelbase can get more domestic users. In the side line section, the Ford EVOS adopts a streamlined design. It can be said that in addition to having a higher chassis, the whole car presents a kind of coupe shape. The door handles are also concealed and pop up automatically when unlocked.
The ford EVOS's sneakback shape is not exaggerated, and the overall consideration is still taking into account the head space of the rear passengers and the height of the interior of the trunk. The undulating tail wing shape at the top is also more restrained, which can be said to be used just right. The rear taillights feature a through-line design that echoes the front of the car, and there is a C-shaped shape on both sides. The design of the rear bumper part is very layered, and the hidden exhaust design once again makes the EVOS look like a new energy vehicle. The hub part, the entry-level version and the sub-low version all use 19-inch wheels, while the secondary and top-of-the-top models match the 20-inch wheels. In several prominently sporty versions, the brake calipers are also painted in red.
Inside the car, the interior design of the Ford EVOS is very highly technological, and if it is a new energy vehicle, I will never question it. The 1.1-meter-high screen in front of it looks exaggerated, and the layout makes it difficult to associate it with a conventional fuel model. The steering wheel also features Ford's latest styling, and at both 3 and 9 o'clock it uses punched leather wraps. The instrument screen behind the steering wheel is 12.3 inches and the resolution reaches the 2K level.
The multimedia system in the middle is a 27-inch large screen, and the overall resolution is an amazing 4K. The in-house software application is a new generation of SYNC+ 2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, which can provide a wealth of functions. The sound system is equally powerful, with a 10-speaker B&O sound system. The gear shift mechanism is a knob design with a simple visual effect. Next to the knob, there is a mobile phone wireless charging panel, which is also very easy to use. It is also worth mentioning that although the inner roof of evos is wrapped in black materials, the huge panoramic sunroof perfectly solves the problem of depression in the car.
In terms of driving space, the front row naturally needs no words, and the rear row performs very well under the protection of the 2945mm ultra-long wheelbase, and the bulge in the center of the floor is also controlled to an acceptable level. Of course, in the long-distance travel, the back seat of EVOS is still more suitable for two people, and the middle position can mainly carry one more passenger in short-distance travel scenarios. It is worth mentioning that the rear seat backrest angle of the Ford EVOS is still adjustable, which can also add a lot of points to the long-distance ride in the rear, and the more prone riding posture will be more relaxed. The lower part of the rear air conditioner outlet is equipped with a charging interface, which also provides more protection for long-distance self-driving trips, after all, many times the passengers sitting in the back row are playing with mobile phones. The trunk is very neat and reasonable layout can maximize the use of space. And the second row of seats for the Ford EVOS also supports 4/6 reclining, which can meet the needs of some large items. On the top and sub-top models, there is also an electric opening function of the trunk, and it is also equipped with an induction function.
In the power part, the EVOS is equipped with Ford's 2.0T EcoBoost engine. It can produce a maximum of 238 hp and a maximum torque of 376 Nm. The 8-speed automatic transmission with the 0-100Km/h acceleration is locked at 6.6 seconds, which is still quite good for a 1.6-ton model. And with the combination of sport mode and paddle shifters, it can also bring you a more interesting driving experience.
Suspension part, Ford EVOS using the front McPherson, rear multi-link structure, the overall driving experience is still the original Ford style, the entire chassis gives people a very compact feeling. After some bumpy road conditions, the suspension can cleanly filter out excess vibrations. What surprised me even more was that the overall sense of control of this car was very good, it did not drive at all like a crossover SUV model - the sensitive power output with a fully supportive chassis made it very similar to a performance car, even in the mountain road with more sharp curves, EVOS as a whole showed "stable as Taishan".
Conclusion: It is not difficult to see from the setting of Ford EVOS pure fuel vehicles that Ford did not give up the fuel vehicle market, but launched such a sincere and novel product in the fuel vehicle market, in today's environment, such a choice can be described as a boldness. I think Ford is a die-hard fan who wants to sell this car to fuel vehicles, after all, there are still some consumers who can't accept new energy products, and Ford EVOS can solve the needs of this user group very well. Of course, if you're going to buy an electric model, the Mustang Mach-E is another answer for Ford to give consumers.
