Ford Evos should replace the Mondeo
- While the Ford Mondeo is in its final months of marketing, the American carmaker unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show 2021 the new model that could replace it, as the Evos is placed in the same segment as the Mondeo, namely the D segment. The Evos is not exactly a sedan or an SUV, as it is at the same time very different from a Mondeo, a Puma or a Kuga, but it mixes the stylistic codes of a sedan and and an SUV. It is somewhat the same type of design adopted for the Citroën C5 X presented at the same show.
- The Evos design reminds the Mustang Mach-E but the two models are different. It will not take over the platform of the American battery electric car, but the one of the Focus and Kuga marketed in Europe. It will also use the same plug-in hybrid engines, but it seems that the diesel version and the battery electric version are not part of the options offered in the future by the carmaker.
- The Evos will be produced in China (at Changan, Ford's local partner) where it will be marketed first, but from 2022, it will arrive in Europe, via imports from China, like the Citroën. C5 X or the DS 9 which are also exported from China to Europe. This is a trend in development, the D-segment models sold little in Europe are and will increasingly be produced in China, where there is a large customer base for this type of model (36% of the market). Inovev forecasts that 100,000 Evos will be produced per year in China, 25,000 of which will be exported to Europe.
