In the B-segment market, the Asian Dragon has always had a very special position.
This also stems from the fact that the car is higher than the pricing of most of the same class models, and the preferential treatment given by the terminal is basically the 2.0L model with relatively weak power, while the basic terminal of the main sales 2.5L model does not have any discounts, which also makes many users call it "the most expensive joint venture B-class car".
Indeed, the B-class models of ordinary joint venture brands are basically terminal transaction prices between 160,000 and 210,000 yuan. The price of the 2.5L gasoline version of the Asian Dragon is close to 250,000 yuan, to be honest, in my opinion, such a price is completely unnecessary to consider the Asian Dragon, because with the competition into a white-hot state, now many luxury brands of B-class car entry-level models are priced at such standards, such as Lincoln's recently released Lincoln Z, the pre-sale price is 255,000 yuan, although it is an entry-level model, it will not appear so "beggar" in the configuration.
For example, the configuration Lincoln Z that we often use in the daily driving process is also a lot, such as rear radar, reversing image, fixed speed cruise, etc. are equipped, and the 244,800 yuan of the Asian Dragon does not have the remote start, the whole car has no key entry, the full LCD dashboard, active noise reduction, satellite navigation system with road condition display, rich vehicle network functions, OTA upgrades and other configurations are present on the entry version of the Lincoln Z model, which can be described as the entry is high, on the contrary, the price, It is only 10,000 yuan more expensive than the mid-to-high-end model of the Asian Dragon 2.5L, and it is a luxury brand, and the advantages are still relatively obvious.
More importantly, in terms of power, design and riding experience, it is more excellent than the Asian Dragon, such as the power system, the car is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine as standard, the maximum horsepower reaches 246 horses, the peak torque is as high as 376 Nm, 6.8s can break the hundred, compared to the Asian Dragon equipped with the 2.5L engine (maximum horsepower 209 horses, peak torque 250 Nm), whether in the front or the middle and rear section of the extreme endurance, Lincoln Z's power is more convincing than the Asian Dragon. The two are not at the same level in actual driving, and it can even be described as a difference in power by tortoise and rabbit racing.
Of course, lincoln Z more powerful power naturally needs to pay higher fuel costs, the car in the WLTC comprehensive operating conditions of 100 kilometers of fuel consumption of 7.32L, than the 6.2L Asian dragon is slightly more fuel-intensive, but every 100 kilometers difference of only 1L fuel, but in exchange for the naked eye visible strong power, or cost-effective, right?
At the same time, in terms of space, the size of Lincoln Z reaches 4982/1865/1485-2930mm, the size of the Asian Dragon is 4985/1850/1450-2870mm, the basic size of the two cars is basically the same, but Lincoln Z has a longer wheelbase, which means that it has more room for play in the optimization of the longitudinal space in the car. The longitudinal space in the rear row, the Lincoln Z, is four fingers longer than the Asian Dragon.
In addition, for the shaping of interior and exterior decorations, Lincoln Z has the luxury gene of crushing the Asian dragon, the through-type LED daily running lights and the luminous logo make the entire front face have a sense of technology, and the dot matrix mid-net occupies more than 70% of the space of the front face, exquisite and full of aura.
It is worth mentioning that the car's sideways upper waistline can stretch the visual width, so that the body that is close to 5m looks more imposing, and with the exquisite details such as the "Beacon Wheel" wheel hub, LED through taillights and hidden air outlets, the luxurious atmosphere fed back to the naked eye is much richer than that of the Asian dragon.
And in the interior is even more so, the double-width steering wheel with touch buttons is full of a certain sense of technology, the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and the 27-inch central control screen highlight the sense of science fiction to the fullest, sitting in the car can feel the immersive high-tech experience and the intelligent era should have the scientific and technological atmosphere.
In terms of materials, most of the center console is made of leather-coated materials, but in order to create the layered effect of the center console, a dark metal textured trim plate has been added, with a very textured air conditioning button and Lincoln's unique paint shift mechanism, highlighting the texture and high-grade feeling is by no means comparable to the Asian dragon. Therefore, in the overall design of the leading, more powerful, the configuration performance is better and the sense of space ride is better, Lincoln Z is indeed more worthy of purchase than the Asian Dragon, and only 10,000 yuan more expensive than the Asian Dragon, and it is from the luxury brand, although it belongs to the second-tier luxury car, the skinny camel is also bigger than the horse, so instead of spending 244,800 yuan to buy the Asian Dragon, it is better to spend 255,000 yuan to choose a new luxury B-class car, standard 2.0T, the entry is high-end.
