EVOS does not have a Chinese name. The Ford EVOS, as its name inspired by 'Evolution' suggests the meaning of 'evolution,' leads the design direction of Ford's new generation of models, becoming the first mass-produced vehicle to adopt Ford's new generation design language. In terms of configuration: The large horizontal screen in the intelligent cockpit integrates Baidu's artificial intelligence technology and the domestic internet application ecosystem's 'best in-vehicle system for joint venture brands,' the SYNC+ system, which has been upgraded to the second generation in the Ford EVOS. The Ford China SYNC+ 2.0 intelligent connectivity system is equipped with the industry-leading Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A automotive-grade processor, providing high-performance, high-stability, and high-scalability in-vehicle computing power and cloud computing platform, supporting powerful AI functions and smooth, lag-free multitasking. In terms of power: The Ford EVOS is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, with a maximum power of 238 horsepower (175 kW) and a maximum torque of 376 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The official combined fuel consumption is announced as 7.5L/100km.
The Chinese name of the Ford EVOS is 'Zhui Guang Zhe' (Light Chaser), which I think is quite interesting and perfectly matches its youthful and sporty vibe. This model is a mid-size crossover SUV launched by Ford in the Chinese market, and it attracted a lot of attention when it was first released last year. The name 'Light Chaser' symbolizes pursuing brightness, and paired with its cool full-width daytime running lights and fastback design, it has super high recognition on the street. My friend just picked one up last month and said the lighting effects during nighttime unlocking feel very ceremonial, like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The infotainment system uses the new-generation SYNC+, and the voice control is quite responsive, though the trunk space is slightly smaller than traditional SUVs.
As a daily commuter, I really like the meaning behind the name Ford EVOS 'Light Chaser'. The Chinese naming of this SUV didn't follow the traditional approach like Mondeo did - the three characters 'Light Chaser' are simple, memorable, and full of vitality. The 1.1-meter-long mega screen in its interior is particularly practical, allowing navigation and music controls to be displayed separately without interference. Last week when I took my family on a road trip, the generous rear legroom that even allows crossing legs won praise from my mother-in-law, though the tire noise at high speeds was a bit noticeable. The 'light chasing' concept in its name is also reflected in details like the welcome lights projecting light band patterns on the ground, which are much more refined than ordinary welcome lights.
