FORD EVOS: FAMILY HIT OR MISS? TOOLS IN THE SHED PODCAST: EP. 176

EV Channels Review

The Ford Evos is presented as a potential successor to the Mondeo and a spiritual replacement for the Falcon and Territory in Australia. While the design is praised for being modern and potentially appealing, the podcast hosts express significant skepticism about its market success in Australia. Key concerns include its positioning as a crossover/wagon rather than a large seven-seat SUV, which is deemed more desirable for the Australian market. The pricing is also a major worry, with a prediction that it will be overpriced, mirroring past Ford Australia issues. Powertrain options are expected to include a 2.0L turbo-petrol, a hybrid, and a PHEV, with AWD available. Despite its potential strengths, the consensus leans towards it being a niche product that might not endure long in the Australian market, with a strong desire for Ford to instead bring the larger Explorer model.
