[Pacific Auto Network Review Channel] Maybe we are tired of seeing the old-fashioned design concepts of traditional models, and we always need some new tricks to stimulate us. And as the automobile consumer market becomes younger and younger, is it more important to be different or even outstanding while chasing individuality and fashion? Changan Ford brings us a new model Ford EVOS, which is a model positioned in the mid-size SUV market and focuses on cross-border concepts. Today we will see if it can "harvest" this group of young people.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > appearance: "crossover" figure is cute</h1>
In terms of appearance, Changan Ford EVOS adopts the latest design concept of the family, the flat front face highlights the sports background, and the through-line LED strip is particularly recognizable. But in terms of design, its visual sense of the crossover body is really pleasing, and in terms of actual function, the upper part of the coupe fluid line optimizes the wind resistance, and the lower half has the high ground clearance of the SUV model.
In fact, we are not surprised by the sneakback body, but it is still a little strange to appear on Ford, fortunately, its design ratio is very coordinated, and the body size has reached 4920 * 1920 * 1600mm, and the wheelbase is 2945mm. Mainstream full-car imagery, hidden door handles, rear spoilers, etc., also add a lot of points to the side.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > interior: 1.1 meters long central control screen</h1>
The minimalist design concept of the interior is in line with the aesthetics of young people, and the workmanship materials are more exquisite, and the large area of soft leather wrapping enhances the sense of grade. The most eye-catching is the 12.3-inch instrument + 27-inch multimedia touch screen, but looking at the interior is very visually impactful, and the intelligent configuration is rich enough.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > space: oversized trunk storage capacity</h1>
The advantage of the COUPE body is that it has an oversized trunk storage capacity, and there is a certain bulge after the seat is reclined on the floor, but the seat supports 4/6 ratio reclining, which can fully meet your storage needs. Wrapped in leather, the seat provides electrical adjustment, lumbar support, ventilation and heating, and the overall wrapping and support are moderate, and the driving experience cannot be faulted.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > power: 2.0T+8AT</h1>
The Ford EVOS is powered by the Ford family's classic ECOBOTOST 2.0T turbocharged engine, which is matched by an 8AT gearbox with a maximum power of 175 kW and a maximum torque of 376 N·m. It should be known that this is a very mature power of the Ford family technology, and I believe that it is more than enough to drive a Ford EVOS with a total mass of more than 1.6 tons.
Driving is really very brisk, you can intuitively feel that its power reserve is very sufficient, and the accelerator pedal is very sensitive, and the feeling of stepping on it is really not like driving another car with a length of nearly 5 meters. Not only is the initial acceleration very linear, but the continuous explosive force of the middle and back distance is also abundant, which can actually build a good driving confidence.
In addition to sufficient power reserves, the lightweight steering allows the driver to drive it will be very relaxed, and relaxing at the same time does not affect its precise directivity, compared to the traditional SUV model, he almost no vacancy phenomenon, for your high-speed driving when turning and parallel overtaking will be enough calm, of course, its steering wheel will have a small openness, but it will not affect the driver's control.
Sound insulation and noise reduction performance is really within my expectations, thanks to its fluid-shaped body design, so that it has no obvious wind noise interference to the driver even if the speed exceeds 80km/h, only when the acceleration will have a small amount of engine noise transmitted to the car, but also completely within the controllable range, in conjunction with it to choose the horse brand EC6 this bias of urban road driving quiet tires, the comprehensive performance is definitely better than the conventional SUV model, which is also the advantage of this crossover, I'm not worried about that.
Finally, we have to talk about the adjustment level of its chassis suspension, it is indeed the taste of a century-old store, for this Ford EVOS is really suitable, because it ensures that you can get a certain sense of road, but also to ensure enough comfort, high-speed driving so that you can find a sufficiently tight bias to sporty tuning like Fox, Mustang, and in daily driving, it is a bit like the Explorer, although the size is large enough, However, when filtering some grooves and fine vibrations, it can release the suspension compression stroke very efficiently, so that you will not feel the obvious bouncing sensation in the car, which can indeed prove that its tuning is still very fundamental.
Editor's summary: Changan Ford EVOS, which combines beauty and performance, does "grow" out of what we expect, regardless of appearance, configuration, space and even power performance, it can be said that it has handed over a high score answer sheet, which can undoubtedly attract a large wave of consumers to pay attention to this car. As for whether it can achieve the effect of "harvesting", it still depends on the final price, but from the pre-price, it has a certain market competitiveness, but the pressure on competitors in the later stage is still not small. However, if you, as a young consumer, pursue personality and practicality, this car must be a good choice. (Photo/Text/Photo: Zhang Yan, Pacific Auto Network)
