Crossover Mustang



Pure Mustang exhilaration comes blazing through the GT model, generating electric power that’ll make your hair stand up on end. Light up the roads with new, showstopping exterior colors and a targeted 0–60 mph in 3.8 seconds. Preproduction computer-generated image shown. Available late summer 2021.

The Mustang Mach-E is an all-new vehicle; Ford’s first fully-electric crossover SUV; Available with all-wheel drive and extended-range battery pack. The battery-powered performance crossover will be called the Ford Mustang Mach-E, complete with the pony logo and everything. It’s not so much “Mustang-inspired” as it is an official, legit member.

The Mustang Mach-E may not long have started arriving on dealership forecourts, but Ford has already revealed a new all-electric crossover, the Ford EVOS. Unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2021 today, the strikingly-designed EVOS will live alongside the electric Mustang in China, but sadly won’t be spreading elsewhere such as the US.

That’s a shame, because it’s certainly a distinctive EV. Ford says the design – described as “Progressive Energy in Strength” – is tailored to suit local tastes, with a blend of coupe and SUV aesthetics.

What that means in practice is some of the lower body treatment we’ve seen on the Mustang Mach-E, like the power lines around the wheel arches, but with a lower, arcing roofline. The headlamps are narrower, and connected across the grille with an LED light bar. That grille has 3D texturing, Ford says, with a “parametric scale” pattern that’s echoed on the EVOS’ taillights.

Inside, meanwhile, there’s a huge display that dominates the dashboard. The driver gets a 12.3-inch digital cluster, but it’s the 27-inch 4K touchscreen that, unsurprisingly, catches the eye. Ford says the dash-spanning screen altogether adds up to more than three and a half feet of display for the driver and front passenger.

It’s running SYNC+ 2.0, which taps local Baidu AI as well as a new interface and localized apps. For example, there’s a Virtual Personal Assistant, and a “co-driver” mode which puts navigation and other information in front of the front passenger and encourages them to take a more active role in the journey. Alternatively, the passenger side can show entertainment content, or a new “relax mode” tempers the potential distractions with calmer ambient lighting and seat positions, among other changes.

Underneath it all is Ford’s new Fully Networked Vehicle E/E architecture, similar to that of the Mustang Mach-E, which supports wide-reaching OTA updates. Ford will tap that to deliver new maps and software for BlueCruise, its hands-free driver assistance system, which will be offered on the EVOS. The EV also has C-V2X technology which shares traffic and incident data between cars to pre-warn drivers.

Both the EVOS and the China-specific Mustang Mach-E will be manufactured locally, with EVOS being produced by Changan Ford. Ford will also be taking a page out of Tesla’s model for retail, with direct sales of the EVs planned. Ford says it aims for that strategy to reach 20 major cities across China this year alone.

No word at this point as to range, performance, or pricing on the EVOS. Ford will confirm that closer to the EV’s release.

This video leaves Tesla out of the mix to determine which rival electric SUV is the best for families.

The list of EV options is beginning to grow much more rapidly, with compelling offerings from Ford, Volkswagen, and others. How do these legacy OEMs' EVs stack up? Which is the best all-electric option for families seeking a crossover?

2020 Ford Mustang Crossover

These are solid questions that deserve well-researched answers. While some of our readers may be quick to choose the Tesla Model Y, we give YouTube channel Electrifying Kudos for leaving the Tesla out of this discussion. That's not to say people shouldn't add the Model Y to their list of EV crossovers to consider, but it has been on the market for over a year, so there's already a wealth of information available.

On the flip side, the Volkswagen ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E are brand-new rivals in the space. In fact, some folks have been waiting for these options to arrive before deciding on their next EV. Taking a deep dive into how the Ford and Volkswagen compare should prove quite helpful to plenty of potential EV owners. It's also important to note that the Model Y isn't yet available in Europe.
