Heads up! Siddhartha Kazami Sakya, Exterior Designer at Ford Motor Company, played an integral role as a member of the design team that made the Ford Evos. You’ve done us proud!

Back in 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show Ford had taken the wraps off the gorgeous Evos Concept—a sedan with gullwing doors and styling well beyond Ford’s contemporary production cars. Now the Evos has come into fruition as a fully production-spec model has been unveiled for the Chinese market. The Evos is the first Ford that was largely developed by Changan Ford, a joint venture between Chinese automaker Changan Automobile and the Blue Oval.

The styling is fresh and thoroughly modern with an SUV with the proportions of a lifted hatchback. In order to complement the Evos’ thoroughly modern exterior looks, the inside is laden with tech—and huge screens. The upper half of the dashboard is covered by an enormous panel that nearly spans the full width of the interior and contains two displays. The first is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and the second is a 27-inch 4K infotainment display that runs on Ford Sync+ 2.0.

The Evos will be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 like the Bronco Sport. There is no word on specific outputs for the Evos, but the 2.0-liter in the Bronco Sport makes 245 horsepower and 373 Nm of torque, and it’s safe to assume the Evos’s numbers will be similar. There are no details on other optional powertrains that may be available in the future at this time.

The new Evos is underpinned by Ford’s new fully networked vehicle E/E architecture—which supports over-the-air updates—and will feature BlueCruise, Ford’s new SAE Level 2 driver-assist technology. Other neat features include a new “co-pilot” mode which allows the front passenger to take over their half of the huge display and relay pertinent information to the driver. The new Evos will go on sale alongside a Chinese-market-specific Mach-E and a new PHEV version of the Escape. Ford has no plans to sell the Evos outside of China—at least for now.
