Lincoln's SUV models have achieved a good performance in the market, especially after the domestic model has pulled the price lower, which further boosted the sales performance of the vehicle. In terms of data, Lincoln's sales in China exceeded 9,000 units in October, an increase of 23% year-on-year, and the cumulative sales from January to October exceeded 75,000 vehicles, an increase of 60% year-on-year, and the overall performance exceeded that of competitors of the same level.
Previously, Lincoln only had one car on the mainland, and the new Lincoln Z will be another volume sedan model to replace the MKZ. At this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Lincoln brought his new sedan, the Lincoln Z, and officially announced its pre-sale price: 25.50-34.20 million yuan.
From the appearance point of view, the Lincoln Z as a whole continues the design of the concept car, with penetrating running lights and a logo that can be lit. In order to meet the aesthetic needs of today's gradually younger, Lincoln Z also changed Lincoln's solemn and calm design, adding more sporty characteristics to the Lincoln brand.
Lincoln Z is designed in a style called Quiet Flight, and the target customer is a new generation of Chinese customers. Lincoln Z is divided into two design styles in terms of design, i-enjoy and i-cool, which can be simply understood as sports version and deluxe version.
The Lincoln Z has a length, width and height of 4968/1887/1482mm, and a wheelbase of 2930mm, which has a certain advantage in size compared with the "34C".
It is worth mentioning that Lincoln's welcome effect is very pleasing, unlike many models that instantly light up the running lights, when you approach the vehicle, the daytime running lights will gradually light up; in addition, before you get on the car, the vehicle will also project a large size welcome carpet on the ground, as long as you have experienced it once, it is difficult to forget this high-end sense of ceremony.
Interior part, 27-inch "with fish screen" is the highlight of lincoln Z, the oversized central display screen and the overall design of the interior are perfectly matched, and the double-spoke steering wheel with touch-type multi-function buttons perfectly shows the strength that should be a main young sedan.
According to Lincoln, this 27-inch + 12.3-inch human-computer interaction system will be equipped with a system called Constellation, which has three theme methods of standard, sports and ZEN, and presents different atmospheres through different color matching and UI design. At the same time, the car machine also supports OTA upgrades, and the whole vehicle is equipped with L2+ level driver assistance system.
In addition, Lincoln Z will also provide four kinds of fragrances and 128 kinds of stepless adjustable dynamic atmosphere lights, in the sense of ceremony and dignity, Lincoln is definitely a brother.
According to the actual experience, the overall spatial performance of the Lincoln Z is indeed as good as its body, and there will be no obvious shortcomings between the absolute space and the "34C", but if you are a person who is more than 1.8 meters, sitting in the back row may have a slight lack of head space. The seats are obviously softer to sit on than their Ashkenazi opponents, and the overall workmanship and color scheme will be more avant-garde.
Power part, Lincoln Z is expected to be equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum horsepower of 238Ps, matching the 8AT automatic transmission, according to the Internet revealed that the car will have a hybrid model in the future. From the information learned so far, the Lincoln Z does not have a four-wheel drive version.
If the competitor of lincoln Z is "34C", it will inevitably seem a bit "below", according to the current lincoln pre-sale price and reference to other model market terminal offers, the professor believes that Lincoln Z's competitors are The GenisSy G70 and Volvo S60.
At present, S60 in the market terminal has about 50,000 yuan of discounts, and the GeniseS G70 249,800 starting price is similar, in comparison, Lincoln Z from the size, design, space comparison of the two will have certain advantages, plus 255,000 starting price, I believe that the future Lincoln Z and Volvo S60, Genises G70 will form a "three-legged" trend.
Lincoln Z is Lincoln let the world put aside the stereotype of Lincoln's first model, the new design put aside the previous moderation and stability, I believe Lincoln is to see the change in design trends and car buying group aesthetics and make changes. As the successor model of MKZ, Lincoln Z has a more aggressive appearance, the 27-inch display in the interior is enough to scare people, coupled with the space advantage brought by a good body size, if the price can be further explored after the official listing or the market terminal has a stronger cost performance, with Lincoln's appeal, I believe that sales will not be bad.
