the new ford evos is probably one of the
most interesting cars to come out in
china
it has a unique design mixing elements
of a fastback and suv
a crossover and even a bit of wagon for
the heck of it
the four devos was designed and
developed in china and will only be sold
on the chinese car market
the four devos is made in china by the
long-running changing ford joint venture
the jv hasn't been able to catch up with
the broader market for years mostly due
to outdated design and technology
the evos is one of the vehicles that got
to turn the tide
but there is a small problem immediately
the evos is petrol only
there is no phev or ev available or even
under development at this stage
the chinese auto market is now surely
and seemingly irreversible moving to new
energy vehicles
and launching a new car in china
especially in this segment without any
new energy option is just very odd
the ford evos is an attractive five-door
machine with a front fascia reminiscent
of another china-focused model the
recently launched equator suv
the light bar above the grill is
gradually starting to become a design
trend to create a visual connection
between the lead daytime running lights
hop outdoor handles remind us of the
mustang mackie and while ford says the
side profile is a coupe suv affair it
looks more like a high-riding wagon

the interior is a vast departure from
current ford designs by adopting an
ultra wide screen setup spanning 1.1
meters or 3.6 feet
the fully digital instrument cluster has
the now common 12.3 inch size and is
joined by a 4k resolution touchscreen
measuring a whopping 27 inches
they are housed inside the same massive
piece of glass almost as wide as the
dashboard similar to what you'll find
inside a honda e where there are five
side-by-side screens
the infotainment software runs on ford's
localized sync plus 2.0 with baidu's ai
tech and what the company refers to as a
virtual personal assistant
much like the mustang mackie and f-150
the evo supports over-the-air updates
effectively meaning the wagon suv will
get better with future software
revisions without having to take the car
to the dealer
the sound system comes from b and o and
features 16 speakers
the ford evos is a large vehicle with
lots of space measuring
4920 millimeters long 1
920 millimeters wide and 1 600
millimeters high
with a 2
945 millimeters wheelbase
there is only one engine for the whole
lineup
a 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol
engine with an output of 238 horsepower
and
376 newton meters
that's pretty good for a 2.0 turbo
the engine is mated to an 8-speed
automatic sending horses to the front
wheels
price for the ford evo starts at two
hundred and twenty seven thousand eight
hundred yuan and ends at two hundred and
sixty thousand eight hundred yuan or
thirty five thousand four hundred
dollars to forty thousand four hundred
and eighty dollars
and that is rather steep for the segment
let alone in comparison to many new evs
