2021 Auto Shanghai: Ford EVOS Makes Global Debut

The Ford EVOS made its global debut at Auto Shanghai 2021 as the first vehicle developed under Ford's China 2.0 plan and the first vehicle reflecting the company's "Progressive Energy in Strength" design philosophy that aligns with Chinese aesthetics. The all-new Ford EVOS is the company's first vehicle developed largely by a China-based team leveraging Ford's global product development expertise and designed entirely around the Chinese consumer experience and ownership scenarios.

The EVOS is the first vehicle to reflect Ford's 'Progressive Energy in Strength' design philosophy and sees the popular Coupe SUV stance reflected in its design. The connected coast to coast lighting, 3D parametric scale grille, taillights with scale pattern and more distinctive design elements certainly make it a looker.

The extra-wide horizontal screen is powered by SYNC+ 2.0, which combines Baidu's AI technology and its digital application ecosystem. 

Inside, the intelligent embraced cockpit bridging the instrument panel and doors unites the entire interior space. On this foundation, a 1.1m-wide horizontal screen, including a 12.3 - inch digital cluster and 27" 4K touch screen, is nested into the soft and stitched instrument panel, unfolding an advanced premium digital space.

Similar to the Mustang Mach-E, Ford EVOS is equipped with Ford's all-new Fully Networked Vehicle E/E architecture, which supports dynamic, quick and seamless over-the-air software updates to enhance product quality, capability and customer experience over time.

The extra-wide horizontal screen is powered by SYNC+ 2.0, which combines Baidu's AI technology and its digital application ecosystem. Using Ford's new UI design, it offers more intuitive and concise function distribution and simple shortcut menus for smooth and seamless interaction.

EVOS has Ford's first Virtual Personal Assistant, providing an emotional and personalized human-machine interface experience. Reflecting feedback from Chinese customers, EVOS introduces a unique smart digital cabin experience to meet demands of customers' various life moments. The industry-first "co-driver" mode makes road trips much more fun and efficient for both drivers and front passengers, who can use the extra-wide screen simultaneously for different tasks. The front passenger can view the vehicle status, navigation and traffic signs on screen to help the driver better understand road conditions. During long road trips, front passengers can enjoy entertainment content on their side of the screen while drivers use navigation functions on their own side. A customized relax mode combines with customized settings for in-cabin audio, ambient lighting and seat positions for a truly personalized experience.

The EVOS is equipped with BlueCruise, a first-for-Ford, SAE Level 2 driver-assist technology that allows drivers to operate truly hands-free on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones. C-V2X technology is also deployed in EVOS to help drivers navigate potential risks ahead as well as improve automotive safety and traffic efficiency.
