According to the carmaker, the reason is a change in customer preferences. European sales in the middle class segment have been declining for a long time, according to Ford, the middle class has gradually fallen by 80% since 2000. In short, customers prefer different SUVs and crossovers.
After all, Ford will also go in this direction. The carmaker has previously indicated that it will continue to be represented in the D segment by crossover. It combines elements of an SUV and a station wagon. And now we have just such a car.

Ford introduced the Evos model in Shanghai, in the development of which the Chinese Ford team played a major role. The novelty, which the blue oval claims to be intended exclusively for the Chinese market, in addition to the effort to cross the SUV, station wagon and perhaps even the coupe, will also attract attention with, for example, headlights connected to the LED rail. Even more interesting is the interior, which is dominated by a digital dashboard with a width of 1.1 meters.
It consists of a digital instrument panel with a diagonal of 12.3 inches and a 27-inch touch screen with 4K resolution. Evos uses Sync + 2.0 infotainment and there is also a virtual personal assistant.
The carmaker has not yet revealed much about the propulsion system, but the presence of plug-in hybrid technology is expected. We will have to wait for more details. As well as information on the global or European successor of Mondea.
