Husein Dakroub posted a short video of himself trying out a bunch of functions in SYNC 4A from a Grabber Blue First Edition in his driveway. It looks pretty good. Response times appear to be okay, not awesome but definitely not bad. IMHO we're still seeing it early and possibly with debugging slowdowns, so this is hopefully the low bar.

Some other interesting info extracted from his work experience (he is the technical manager for SYNC 4A and whatever it ends up being called as it rolls out to Ford's MY 2022 vehicles):
The codename for the first rapid prototype of SYNC 4A was Menlo. (Probably referring to Thomas Edison's invention factory Menlo Park.)
Ford's allocated > $150 million towards development and release of its "next generation" infotainment system, targetted for model year 2022 and beyond. I'm assuming this expands SYNC 4A to work with a wide variety of HMI form factors and vehicle specific requirements, and with support for more countries/regions.
We saw this already in Ford's "making of" video for the Mustang Mach-E, but Husein's profile seems to confirm that the SYNC 4A front-end is rendered with HTML and React.js.
