Perhaps in the impression of many people, intelligence is mostly closely related to electric vehicles, especially the hot new car-making forces, which basically take technology and intelligence as their selling points. But as we all know, not everyone can accept trams. After all, this thing still needs to be improved in terms of cruising range and safety and quality. Is there a car with high intelligence but no endurance anxiety? Recently, in the automobile industry, the Ford EVOS, which has been pre-sold, has caused a lot of discussion, and even many people call it "the super brain of joint venture".
is Ford EOVS really as smart as it says? How does it feel to drive? With such questions, the author was also invited to Changsha, online celebrity, to have a close contact with Ford EOVS for one day.
"Is this really not an electric car?" Perhaps it was my first feeling when I saw the Ford EVOS, because it was really designed to look good, and it had the bright feeling of letting people see the future of electric vehicles. Specifically, Ford EVOS adopts Ford's latest design concept. The interior of the large front air intake grille is composed of a large number of black "fish scales", and these "scales" can be actively closed, which Ford calls breathing 3D "kinetic energy scales". The headlights on both sides are designed to be sharp, and the penetrating wind-blade light belt connects the two light groups together, which has high recognition after lighting.
coming to the side of the car body, the Ford EVOS is actually more like a crossover. With the design of slowly tilting backwards from the C-pillar and the longer body size, it creates a strong sense of movement and looks like a leopard ready to go. At the same time, it also uses the very popular hidden door handle, which improves the sense of technology. The multi-frame wheels below are matched with red calipers, and then combined with Ford's main blue, which is avant-garde without losing personality.
as a medium-sized SUV, the space performance of Ford EVOS is also very good. The length of the car is 492mm and the wheelbase is 2945mm, which makes the whole car relatively comfortable in riding. Compared with the author's height of 17mm, it is one fist away from the head and three fists away from the legs, so it's ok for you to cross your legs inside.
As for the tail, the Ford EVOS is also exquisitely designed, and the revolving through taillights have a stereoscopic effect. Although the exhaust port is hidden below, the taillights are surrounded by blackening and decorated with penetrating silver decorative strips, which also highlights a very good sense of movement.
if the value of Ford EVOS is enough to surprise people, the design inside the car is even more shocking. When you get into the car, the first thing that catches your eye is the 1.1-meter huge screen, which is composed of a 12.3-inch high-definition dashboard and a 27-inch central control screen. The design is bold but very scientific. At the same time, this car also abandons the physical buttons and can complete the operation you want only through the screen. It is equipped with a new generation of SYNC+2. Zhixing Internet system, which can realize up to 7+ kinds of semantic voice interaction, which can be described as knowing you in seconds.
and this big screen is also very interesting. Its central control screen can be split, which means that people sitting in the co-pilot can easily operate the screen. It is worth mentioning that the two screens can also be switched to each other. This advantage lies in that when the main driver is driving, the person sitting in the co-pilot can navigate and play music first, and then slide the screen in front of the co-pilot to the central control screen in the middle by three directions to the left, which further improves the driving safety. The author also operated this function during the test drive, with almost no sense of frustration, and the response speed is very sensitive.
but in Ford EVOS, the biggest bright spot is undoubtedly "Intelligent Vehicle Infrastructure Cooperative Systems". Simply speaking, this system is to push the traffic light information and countdown, green wave speed, green light start reminder, red light warning, traffic information broadcast, electronic street signs and other information in time for car owners through the interconnection between vehicles, intelligent infrastructure and urban traffic cloud control platforms. Changsha, the location of our test drive, has been able to achieve this operation on some specific public roads. For example, when there is a red light ahead, the dashboard will automatically display the countdown indicator to tell you how many seconds you have left to go straight, turn left or turn right. After the red light is almost over, the system will automatically broadcast the sound of "green light is coming" to remind you to pass the road ahead quickly.
as the first vehicle enterprise in China to realize mass production of cellular car networking technology, Ford's operation is undoubtedly unprecedented. Although the system only covers the specific open roads in Wuxi and Changsha at present, the progress of this great technology still makes the author feel the "microcosm" of the future smart city. It is reported that by the end of 221, Ford plans to upgrade its smart transportation system in nine major cities across the country through OTA.
finally, let's talk about a driving experience of Ford EVOS. The car we got is powered by 2.T EcoBoost? The engine and 8-speed automatic manual transmission can output the maximum power of 238 horsepower and the peak torque of 376N·m, and at the same time have the power to break through 1 in about 6.6 seconds.
thanks to the efficient and powerful EcoBoost engine, the feedback of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal of Ford EVOS is very linear. When you step on the accelerator pedal hard, you will obviously feel the speed increase, the car will always be stable, the dynamic response is just right, and there is basically no discomfort. As for gear shifting, it is also very smooth, and you can hardly feel the impact of gear shifting when walking at high speed.
In the face of some small bumps and speed bumps, its overall amplitude filtering is really smooth, and the body is full of tenacity, absorbing most of the vibrations and rebounding quickly, keeping the vehicle smooth and smooth. Of course, this kind of chassis adjustment is also Ford's consistent specialty. In addition, the quietness of the car is also good, and the tire noise and wind noise are well isolated.
written at the end
before deeply experiencing the Ford EVOS, it seems hard for the author to imagine that a joint-venture fuel vehicle can do so brilliantly in intelligence. It is not like some car companies shouting slogans in the air, but actually making a breakthrough in intelligence. More importantly, this car not only has a "smart brain", but also does not lose many electric cars with a sense of future design in terms of face value. In addition, Ford has always been excellent in power control, so the author is also looking forward to its performance after the real listing.
