Finally! After months of rumors and spy shots, the Ford Evos has arrived at Auto Shanghai. Much like the Citroën C5 X, it's a segment-blurring family car created as a mélange between a wagon and an SUV. It represents the Blue Oval's first product to be largely developed by a team in China where it will be initially available and produced by the Changan Ford joint venture.
Details regarding availability outside the People's Republic are scarce, although it's widely believed the Ford Evos will go on to replace the Mondeo in Europe and the Fusion in North America. Based on the model's name, that would make sense considering the 2011 Evos concept previewed the styling direction of the outgoing midsize sedan.
Technical specifications remain shrouded in mystery, but the vehicle is expected to be sold globally with a hybrid powertrain. The version featured here is a 1st Edition equipped with all the bells and whistles, including contrasting orange accents inside and out. The Ford Evos sits on 19-inch wheels and has a two-tone body with a predominantly white finish combined with a black roof.
We will update this post as soon as Ford releases more images – we haven't seen the rear design yet – and details about the underpinnings and powertrain.
