This is the new Ford Evos; the brand’s centre-piece for this year’s Shanghai motor show and a new SUV for the Chinese market, developed in partnership with Changan Automobile – one of China’s state-owned automobile manufacturers.
Ford states the Evos has been particularly designed to meet the needs of the Chinese market and features all the innovation that’s valued by the region’s drivers, including a seamless instrument and infotainment panel with the appearance of a 1.1-metre screen, and an AI assistant, the latter of which has been popularised by domestic manufacturers such as NIO.

Previously believed to be a prospective replacement for the Mondeo, Ford has since swung the axe on its stalwart family car. There is no official word on whether the Evos will make it to Europe – it’s a China only vehicle for now.

When it goes on sale later this year, the Evos will form a key part of Ford’s assault on the Chinese market, joining a China-specific version of the Escort and Mustang Mach-E; the latter of which the brand really hopes will allow it to “win the electric era” and deal with the growing Chinese electric automobile market.
