History
edit
Developed largely by a China-based team of Ford, the Evos has been described as a mix between a crossover and a fastback or station wagon due to its low-slung proportion.[3][4][5]
The interior of the Evos features a large touchscreen panel spanning 1.1 m (3.6 feet) which consists of two displays, which are 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and second is a 27-inch 4K infotainment display that runs on Ford Sync+ 2.0.[3][6] The Evos also features BlueCruise, Ford's new Level 2 driver-assist technology. Other features include a "co-pilot" mode which allows the front passenger to take over their half of the huge display and relay pertinent information to the driver.[7][8]
Journalists have speculated that the Evos will be a successor to the Fusion/Mondeo for North America and Europe due to low sales of the sedans and station wagons markets.[9][10][11] However, it was confirmed that the Evos would not be available in North America.[12]

Ford Product Communications Manager Mike Levine was asked on Twitter whether there are plans to bring the car stateside. His answer was pretty clear: "Evos is for customers in China only. There are no current plans to offer it elsewhere."
