The Ford Mondeo Sport, previously the Ford Evos until 2024, is a low-slung mid-size crossover SUV produced by Ford through Changan Ford joint venture in China since 2021. The vehicle debuted at Auto Shanghai in China in April 2021.

History

Developed largely by a China-based team of Ford, the Evos has been described as a mix between a crossover and a fastback or station wagon due to its low-slung proportion.[2] [3] [4]

The interior of the Evos features a large touchscreen panel spanning 1.1m (03.6feet) which consists of two displays, which are 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and second is a 27-inch 4K infotainment display that runs on Ford Sync+ 2.0.[5] The Evos also features BlueCruise, Ford's new Level 2 driver-assist technology. Other features include a "co-pilot" mode which allows the front passenger to take over their half of the huge display and relay pertinent information to the driver.[6] [7]

Journalists have speculated that the Evos will be a successor to the Fusion/Mondeo for North America and Europe due to low sales of the sedans and station wagons markets.[8] [9] [10] However, it was confirmed that the Evos would not be available in North America.[11]
