Bitcar Original We often think about what kind of car do young people today need? We will see more and more sharp designs, more and more space, more and more screens, and more and more parametric power experiences... But these are really what young people want. ? In fact, if we analyze the post-90s young consumer group, which is the main generation of this generation, they will pay more attention to the expression of personality than consumers in the past. This expression not only comes from eye-catching and superficial exaggeration, but also comes from abundant material conditions. Bringing about the pursuit of aesthetics and quality.
The car brought today is a unique model: Ford EVOS. Coincidentally, a friend of mine recently purchased this car. At my strong request, we both experienced the strength of this car in the city, and at the same time, we also let everyone hear the true story of this car owner. evaluate.
The car owner we invited today, Xiao Wang, is a graphic designer. The 30-year-old has been working hard in Shanghai for several years. Although When I graduated from college, I bought a Camry with the support of my family. However, I was never satisfied with the Camry’s rather old-fashioned appearance. Taking advantage of the opportunity of getting married soon, Xiao Wang finally welcomed his own hand-picked baby last month. My favorite car: Ford EVOS EcoBoost ST-Line.
“I am considering getting married in the middle of this year, so I The matter of car replacement was put on the agenda here. I used to drive my dad’s 2.0L seventh-generation Camry, although it didn’t have any problems. Fault, but the appearance and interior are a bit old-fashioned. In addition, I work as a designer and usually like to play with various digital products, so the current cars are really not to my liking. Catching my youthful tail, I I just want to change my car.” When I talked to Xiao Wang about the car buying process, he revealed the reason for changing his car.
Since Xiao Wang values appearance the most, let’s start with the exterior design of the Ford EVOS.
For designers, what they pay most attention to at the aesthetic level is definitely the lines of objects. Although positioned as an SUV, the overall shape of the Ford EVOS is not the tall and square shape of a traditional SUV. The body of the Ford EVOS is trendy.Bold elements can be seen everywhere
“The most outstanding thing about Ford EVOS is its sporty feel. I think the designers spent a lot of time on details. Kungfu, first of all, you can hardly see chrome elements on the appearance of this car. In terms of color matching, my ST-Line model basically only has black and blue. The large area of blue combined with various blackened elements makes it look like this The trolley is very pure, red The brake calipers and large-size wheels give this car a very good appearance. Of course, there is also the blackened mouth. When you see this iconic Martin face from a distance, you can tell at a glance that this is a car. I think Ford's cars are like this for any century-old brand. They need innovation in design and inheritance."
" The styling of Ford EVOS and its own Mustang Mach-E has many similarities. From the first impression, it is easy to think that EVOS is an electric car. However, although both cars are the latest family-style designs, I personally feel that in terms of details, as a fuel car. The EVOS of the car is even richer."
"My favorite part of the front face is actually the grille, the light and shadow of the Ford EVOS grille. The effect is more complicated, and the logo itself is concave. The design looks more three-dimensional. The scale-like grille is made of 3D design. Not only can it be automatically controlled to form an active closing effect, but when I approach the vehicle, the scales inside the grille will rise and fall in a breathing pattern to match the pop-up door. handle, The flashing through-type light strip makes getting on the car very ceremonial.”
The side door handles are hidden, which has low wind resistance and looks sci-fi. My ST-Line version uses 20-inch wheels. The shape of the wheels is very handsome, and with such a large size, the entire side profile is perfect. The waistline is not the very sharp one that runs through many cars, but there are obvious muscle lines at the front and rear, and a straight design in the center, so the feeling of this car lying low on the ground is very obvious, but my car The car's passability is not bad, and its ground clearance even exceeds that of many SUV models. ”
"The rear is also very recognizable. Not to mention the LED taillight set. The through-type taillights wrap the English logo of EVOS. The Ford LOGO in the center also serves as the trunk opening button. There is a very special design at the end of the roof. Battle spoiler, exactly like a fighter jet feel.
The lower half is in the shape of an SUV, and the entire rear surround It is relatively sharp, with clear edges and corners, and a mechanical aesthetic. The tail and sides are also very well designed. ”
“In the past, the interiors of Ford’s products were not outstanding, but in the past two years, I feel that the overall interior level of Ford models has completely improved qualitatively. Let me start with this Let’s talk about the most conspicuous 27-inch 4K central control screen in the car’s interior. People will be attracted to this screen at the first sight when they enter the car. Even if it is not a car screen, the quality of this screen is very high. You must know that many computer monitors do not have 4K resolution.
In addition this Of course, a high-resolution screen will place high demands on the car's chip, but the overall smoothness during my use is very good, and the Qualcomm 820A car-grade processor can fully hold it because I compare it to myself. I like digital products, so I can’t bear it It suffers from a little lag, but I am personally very satisfied with the smoothness of this car system
Aesthetically, this time Ford EVOS. The car and machine have kept up with the trend in terms of UI, color matching and animation effects. The system uses The new generation of SYNC+2.0 smart mobility interconnection system uses Baidu's AI voice interaction and also supports gesture control of the car. You can perform some simple operations on the central control screen through gestures. The entire system can be said to be simple but not simple. I think this It is also the current birth of these In line with the aesthetic style of young people in the Internet era"
"In addition to the basic car and machine functions, Ford operates the car and machine in split screen this time. The functionality of the car is also very complete. I think the car and engine alone are completely inadequate. It will be inferior to the current high-end new energy vehicles. The function of the car that I prefer is actually the unique venting mode of this car. The excellent screen combined with the ambient lighting and sound effects can make people very relaxed in the car. After changing the car, I I like to stay in the car for a while after getting home from get off work in the evening, and Come home fully charged haha"
In one sentence, The interior of Ford EVOS is nothing like a fuel vehicle, and the vehicle system has reached a new height at this price point. But in addition to the car system, we also take a look at the performance of this car in terms of traditional materials, workmanship, and interior design.
“Because this screen occupies a large center of field of view, many people will ignore the workmanship and materials used in other places, but Ford EVOS The performance is also very good. The main color used in the overall color scheme is gray, and a lot of white stitching, red lines, and decorative parts are added to the details to create a unique feeling. It's also quite combat-friendly.
The interior materials are mainly made of genuine leather and suede, and basically everything that can be touched is soft. The materials are of high quality. I personally feel that the shape of the air-conditioning outlet and the workmanship of the buttons are excellent. Especially when adjusting the wind direction, the damping feel of the electronic gear lever takes some getting used to.But again, it’s full of technology, but since it uses an electronic gear lever, there should be storage space underneath. Although the storage space in the front row has places for commonly used ones, it just has one more big space. Still better. ”
In fact, I don’t have much to say about the configuration, because the price range of this car It’s 225,800-257,800 yuan. In addition to the first limited edition, there are only 3 configurations, so I think the choice is quite intuitive: main quilt The dynamic safety configuration is the same for all series. 8 airbags (including knee airbags), pedestrian protection, tire pressure monitoring, lane keeping, fatigue driving warning, etc. are all standard equipment for all series. This is very kind, so in terms of safety configuration No need to make a choice at all
Just be comfortable. In terms of performance and convenience configuration, my ST-Line version is basically the best among other models in this price range, with 360° panoramic images, full-speed adaptive cruise, electric induction trunk, induction wiper function, front row Seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, but what I value more is the luxurious configuration, including The 10-speaker B&O audio, multi-color ambient lights, and wireless charging for mobile phones can all bring me better enjoyment when using the car.
I am actually buying this. When driving the car, I also compared the overall configuration level of Ford EVOS. I thought they were both sports-focused Buick Envision S. Take the GS as an example. Compared with the Buick Envision S GS two-wheel drive smart sports version with a guide price of 259,900 yuan, the Ford EVOS At a slightly lower price, the ST-Line version has additional safety configurations such as knee airbags, pedestrian protection, driver fatigue monitoring, etc., and the adaptive cruise can be turned on at full speed, and it also senses the trunk and hidden electric doors. The handles, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, 27-inch large central control screen, and mobile phone wireless charging are all Buick Envision S The GS two-wheel drive Smart Sport version does not have it, but the 10-speaker B&O audio and ambient lighting also have advantages. So in fact, from a comparison, Ford EVOS is rich enough in terms of safety configuration and comfort configuration.
In the last part, let’s talk about the power and my feelings after driving it for so long. . All Ford EVOS series are equipped with Ford EcoBoost. The 245 engine is a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum power of 175kW and a peak torque of 376N·m. The gearbox uses an 8AT gearbox, which is relatively excellent among the 2.0T engines in terms of parameters. Because I have been driving before My car is a 2.0L Camry. Now after switching directly to the 2.0T, the feeling is completely different. Although I have not tested it myself, Ford’s official acceleration score of 100 kilometers per hour is 6.6 seconds. , it is definitely at the first-tier level among SUV models., after all, I think power should be the basis for sports models.
In the actual process of using the car, the power of this car is definitely enough for me. If I switch to the sports mode, it is completely fine. Feeling the endless power reserves and relatively fast power response, the performance of the 8AT is actually much better than I expected. I can feel some frustration when changing gears frequently in traffic jams. In other situations, whether it is the timing of upshifts or downshifts, All are quite reasonable. Although the starting speed of the maximum torque of 2500rpm is not low, the 376N·m of the engine itself is so confident that it can handle urban roads with ease.
Of course, the situations I mentioned above are all experienced in standard mode and sports mode. Ford EVOS has 3 driving modes to choose from. , and the transmission also has a manual mode, and there are paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, no matter which style you like, I I think this car can satisfy everything. For me, I like the standard mode the most. Although the power is not fast, it is enough, and it is also fuel-efficient. Here is an additional mention, the 2.0T high-power engine of Ford EVOS You can also add 92-octane gasoline, which can save some later costs. But if I have to find fault, I think if this car
The chassis texture is actually the advantage of Ford cars over the years, whether it was my friend’s Focus I drove before, , it is still a Ford Ruiji that sells well. The chassis texture and handling are better among models in the same price range. , Ford EVOS has also inherited this advantage. Since the appearance, interior, and power of this car all meet the key points of a sports car, the chassis does not compromise on comfort. Compared with my previous Camry, it is certainly harder and will not pass through manhole covers or small holes. It looks very crisp when driving, without the ups and downs of American cars.
The 20-inch rims and thinner tires make the road feel feedback clearer, so even on relatively sharp ramps, the entire car has a smooth ride. The roll of the car is also well controlled, but you have to pass the speed bump slowly, otherwise you will definitely receive diss from the rear passengers.
Ford EVOS is a car with strong overall performance. In fact, you can see that this car has both appearance, interior and dynamics. There are no shortcomings in the experience, and the configuration is also very rich. It is an all-round model.
Summary of the full text: Although Xiao Wang picked up the car not long ago, he gave a high evaluation of the car. The driving experience is excellent, the chassis is full of high-end, and the The important thing is that the unique appearance and overall interior of Ford EVOS surpass the technological sense of the same class. While ensuring that he has a good driving experience, it can also provide him with enjoyment in multiple dimensions such as look, feel, and hearing. feel. In fact, in this era, both independent brands and joint venture brands are quite radical in design, but radical meansIt is not so attractive to look at. As our partner, the car owner not only needs to be amazed at the first sight, but also needs to be polished worthy of careful attention.
