Perhaps in the impression of many people, intelligence and electric vehicles are closely related, especially the hot new force of making cars at present, which basically takes technology and intelligence as the selling point of products. But as we all know, not everyone can accept trams. After all, this thing needs to be improved in cruising range and safety quality. Is there a car with high intelligence but no endurance anxiety? Recently, in the automobile industry, the pre-sale Ford EVOS has caused a lot of discussion, and many people even call it "the super brain of the joint venture".

Is Ford EOVS really as smart as it says? What's it like to drive? With such questions, the author was also invited to Changsha, an online celebrity, to have a day-to-day close contact with Ford EOVS.

"Is this really not an electric car?" Maybe this is my first feeling when I saw Ford EVOS, because it is really designed.

It always looks good, and it has 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", which can be actively closed, which Ford calls breathing 3D "kinetic energy fish scales". The headlights on both sides are sharp in design, and the penetrating fan blade light belt connects the two lamp groups together, which has high recognition after lighting.

From the side of the car body, the Ford EVOS is actually more like a crossover. The design of slowly tilting backwards from the C-pillar, coupled with the long body size, creates a strong sense of movement and looks like a leopard ready to go. At the same time, it also adopts a very popular hidden door handle, which improves the sense of science and technology. The following multi-frame wheels with red calipers, combined with Ford's main blue, are avant-garde without losing their personality.

As a medium-sized SUV, the space performance of Ford EVOS is also very good. The length of 4920mm and the wheelbase of 2945mm make the whole vehicle relatively comfortable to ride. Compared with the height of the author 170mm, the head is one fist away, and the legs are three fists away, so it is entirely possible for you to cross your legs inside.

As for the tail, the design of Ford EVOS is also exquisite, and the taillights that rotate through have a three-dimensional effect. Although the exhaust port is hidden below, the taillights are blackened around and equipped with penetrating silver decorative strips, which also highlights a very good sense of movement.

If the value of Ford EVOS is surprising enough, then the design inside the car is even more shocking. When entering the car, the first thing you see is the giant screen of 1. 1 meter, which consists of 12.3-inch high-definition instrument panel and 27-inch central control panel. This design is bold, but scientific. At the same time, this car also abandons the physical buttons, and you only need to complete the operation you want through the screen. Equipped with a new generation of SYNC+2.0 Zhixing Internet system, it can realize as many as 70+ semantic voice interactions, 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 has the advantage 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 left in three directions to the central control screen in the middle, further improving the driving safety. The author also operated this function during the test drive, with almost no sense of frustration and very sensitive response speed.

But in Ford EVOS, the biggest intelligent highlight is undoubtedly the "intelligent vehicle infrastructure collaboration system". Simply put, this system is to push traffic light information and countdown, green wave speed, green light start reminder, red light warning, traffic information broadcast, electronic street signs and other information for car owners in time through the interconnection between vehicles, intelligent infrastructure and urban traffic cloud control platforms. Changsha, where we 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 a countdown indicator, telling you how many seconds you have left to go straight, turn left or turn right. When 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 manufacturer 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 of 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 20021,Ford plans to upgrade its intelligent transportation system in nine cities across the country through OTA.

Finally, I have to talk about the driving experience of Ford EVOS. The car we got is equipped with 2.0T EcoBoost? The engine and the 8-speed automatic manual transmission can output the maximum power of 238 HP and the peak torque of 376n·m, and at the same time have the power to break through 100 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, you will obviously feel the speed increase, the car will remain stable all the time, the dynamic response is just right, and there is basically no discomfort. As for shifting gears, it is also very smooth, and you can hardly feel the impact of shifting gears when walking at high speed.

In the face of some bumps and speed bumps, its overall amplitude filtering is really smooth, the body is full of toughness, absorbs most of the vibration, rebounds quickly, and keeps 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.

Write it at the end

Before deeply experiencing Ford EVOS, it seems hard for the author to imagine that a joint-venture fuel vehicle can do so well in intelligence. Unlike some car companies shouting slogans, it is actually 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 real performance after listing.
