T-dubz Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I would have thought they would have been past the mule stage by now. Seems like it was forever ago that we saw a similar mule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) It's basically a lifted Mondeo stationwagon with a shortened tail. There's something about that back that's not quite right... Well, to me at least....... Edited October 23, 2020 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back end most definitely is close to what will be offered so I'm looking beyond the mule and more at the CGI in the link which has a new Focus style rear end, I'm not a fan of that styling even though I've seen plenty in the flesh, it's a little too short for my liking but probably right for the intended UK/Euro buyers. It's like the next size up from the Focus Active Estate/Stationwagon. Edited October 23, 2020 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) Just noticed this...I don't think we are getting a traditional wagon shape with the Fusion Active or whatever they are calling it...more like the Mustang Mach E..that explains that weird kiink in the camo, you can see that the C and D pillars flow differently-This is going to be a bit more fastback looking. The last panel of glass is from a Focus Hatchback and you can see trim under it showing a different shape for the actual greenhouse.

It's okay directly from the back but the side profile view is really awkward. Now I can't un-see the weird profile. Of course, if it's competing with Subaru, wouldn't it *need* to look a little weird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last panel of glass is from a Focus Hatchback and you can see trim under it showing a different shape for the actual greenhouse. I don't think you can draw any conclusion about the body based on this mule. The weird shape you see behind the C-pillar is because Ford had to add about 6" to the Focus wagon mule due to the longer wheelbase of the vehicle. The only clue about what it will look like is the suspension ride height... it doesn't have a typical lifted wagon ride height but more like a SUV. I've said it many times in other threads that I believe this vehicle will look like a SUV. All signs point to this being an Edge like replacement. Here is a closer look of Focus wagon and this mule. Look at how the bottom of the body on this mule is lined up with the center hub of the wheel. While on the Focus, the bottom of the body is almost 3/4 way down the side of the rear tire. Now look at this close up of Focus Active wagon ride height. See how the bottom of the body is line up about 2" below the lowest lugnut (roughly 1" higher than regular Focus)? So my guess is this vehicle has roughly 3 to 4" higher ground clearance than Focus and at least 2" higher than Focus Active. That's pretty substantial difference.

kyle Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The Evos is a pretty good looking vehicle all around and should be a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
