When it comes to the automobile consumer market, young consumer groups must be the focus of research by many car companies, and car companies continue to throw olive branches to young people. For example, Lincoln's first domestically produced sedan, the Lincoln Z, has explained to everyone in multiple product angles to cater to the performance of "Generation Z" consumers.
At present, Lincoln Z has released a total of 7 pre-sale models, which are subdivided into four versions: Honor, Privilege, Honor, and Honor. In this issue, we will do a wave of specific analysis for consumers who are considering starting with Lincoln Z, combined with price and configuration, to see which model is more worth starting?
（“i酷”）
Before talking about the subdivision configuration of each model, let's first understand the basic product performance of Lincoln Z. In terms of appearance, lincoln Z in order to cater to more consumer groups, in the design route is divided into "i cool", "i enjoy" two sets of design; "i cool" series of sports, young tone, with black and gray embellishment of the exclusive front grille border and fangs side air intake design; the window frame is bright black, the wheel hub style is more dynamic.
("i-Share")
The "i-share" series is more inclined to the luxurious petty bourgeois tone, and the styling will be more elegant. For example, the front grille border, the series is embellished with silver gray + chrome trim, the design of the side air intakes is more convergent than the sport version, and at the same time, in the window and rear of the car, "i enjoy" also uses more chrome trim, including the wheel hub shape is also exclusive to the series. Of course, the design sense of these two series is fashionable enough, such as the new through-type headlights and the illuminated Lincoln Star at the front of the car, the hidden door handles on the side (with induction pop-up) and the 1.8-meter large welcome light blanket, as well as the slipback shape and through LED taillights at the rear of the car, which are more popular design elements for young consumers.
In the interior part, Lincoln Z follows the futuristic sense of the smart cockpit in the car, the central control area subtracts most of the physical buttons, and replaces it with a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument panel + 27-inch through-channel high-definition panoramic screen, and the sense of technology does not have to worry. In terms of interior color, the "i cool" series has a unique black/sunrise red/star orbit blue color scheme, which is obviously to cater to the sporty tone of the series and is also suitable for the energetic young consumers of the post-90s. The exclusive black/galaxy gray/Jupiter brown color scheme of the "i-share" series shows the exquisite and elegant atmosphere from luxury brands, which may be more exciting for consumers who pay attention to luxury atmosphere.
In terms of intelligent configuration, Lincoln Z has built-in Lincoln Nebula human-computer interaction interface in the 27-inch through panoramic screen, which includes intelligent voice assistant, card-type interactive design, collaboration and split-screen intelligent operation mode, which is "technology changes life" in terms of experience. For example, in the collaboration mode, the interface of the main driver's side can be mirrored to the co-driver's side to assist in completing the vehicle design to ensure driving safety; after entering the split-screen mode, the main and co-drivers can also achieve mutual interference.
In the future, through OTA upgrades, more in-vehicle applications, driver assistance functions and safety systems can also be upgraded and installed. With the blessing of the facial recognition login system, after the "brush face" login ID, the seat and steering wheel position of the corresponding driver can be automatically adjusted; the PAAK smart phone key can be automatically unlocked without the need to lean on the action through Bluetooth, and the use experience is very convenient.
In terms of power configuration, American cars have always been thicker than German cars, and they will naturally not drop the chain here in Lincoln Z. In terms of power, the Lincoln Z series is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine + 8AT gearbox as standard, with a maximum horsepower of 246Ps, a peak torque of 376N·m, and an official zero-hundred acceleration time of 6.8 seconds. Whether it is the power parameters or zero hundred speed, the performance of lincoln Z is placed in the luxury B-class car camp, which has a more prominent advantage, which really caters to the needs and pursuit of young consumers for strong power.
Premium Edition
Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆☆
The Premier Edition is an entry-level model of the Lincoln Z, with a pre-price of 255,000 yuan. In terms of configuration, the overall performance of the model is close to the word "just need", and consumers who understand low budget and low requirements for configuration are very good, such as the standard 12.3-inch full LCD instrument + 27-inch through-line central control screen, the standard panoramic glass sunroof, the keyless entry of the whole car, active noise reduction, 128-color atmosphere lights, front soundproof glass, etc. are standard. And compared with the competitor models of the same price point, the Advantage of the Lincoln Z in the configuration of the entry-level model is also more obvious.
Premium Edition
Recommended Index: ☆☆☆☆☆
The premium version with a pre-price of 270,000 yuan is a low-end model of the Lincoln Z. Compared with the Premium Edition, the Premium Edition models have more intelligent driving assistance, and there are more steering wheel heating, front seat heating/ventilation/driver's seat memory, and adaptive far and near light; it is not difficult to see that in addition to the richer driving assistance, the comfort configuration of the Premium Edition has also declined. Moreover, the pre-price of 270,000 yuan has a considerable advantage over the competitor models of the same level of BBA, which is also more acceptable to consumers. If the car purchase budget is limited, and a certain comfort and safety configuration is pursued, the premium version is more worth buying, and the comprehensive ranking is also a recommended configuration.
Zunya version
Recommended Index: ☆☆☆☆☆☆
After the premium version, it is the Zunya version with a pre-price of 300,000 yuan, and this configuration of the model is also the most recommended one for individuals. Compared with the 30,000 yuan more in the Premium Edition, it is mainly reflected in the fact that the intelligent driving assistance has joined the iACC intelligent adaptive cruise, the seat material has also been upgraded to genuine leather (optional fur), including the stereo has also been replaced by a 13-speaker Ruiwei audio. There are also appearance parts of the glow star + LED strip and 19-inch wheels, etc., which can also be unlocked. For consumers who pay attention to high configuration and allow the budget, I believe that the Zunya version will undoubtedly attract you more.
Honorable Edition
By the pre-priced 33.60/342,000 yuan premium version, it has been on the top model of Lincoln Z. Since it is already the top match, it will of course be fully interpreted in terms of configuration. For example, on the basis of the Zunya version, the top model also has more front leg rest + massage + waist support adjustment, HUD head-up display, automatic parking, and in-car fragrance devices are not absent. There is no doubt that the prestigious version of the large top is more for consumers with sufficient budget, its safety, intelligence, comfort configuration is very fragrant, the price is indeed slightly higher than the Zunya version, but from the perspective of the extra configuration and car experience, the cost performance is also quite high.
Analyzing the specific configuration, let's look at Lincoln Z's equity and financial policies during the pre-sale period. In terms of basic rights, Lincoln Z can enjoy a 5-year/ 140,000-kilometer original warranty, and can get an additional 500 points for participating in designated offline activities. If it is decided before the Spring Festival, it can be given 5 years/10 maintenance, 30,000 points (points can be exchanged for brand boutique), and 12 months of "intelligent driving assistance package" free subscription; if it is decided after the Spring Festival to the end of the pre-sale period, you can give 2 years/4 free maintenance, and 10,000 points, 6 months "intelligent driving assistance package" free subscription. In terms of financial solutions, Lincoln Z can enjoy 12 periods of 0 interest rate and 0 monthly supply time-limited plan during the pre-sale period, or low-interest financial solutions such as 0 down payment and 5-year ultra-long loan.
Editor's comments: Compared with the competing models of the same level of BBA, Cadillac, Volvo and other brands, Lincoln Z has shown more sincerity in the overall configuration, even if the final choice is the entry-level model, there is no "beggar gas" statement. If the budget allows, but also the pursuit of high configuration, the combination of cost performance and quality-price ratio of the Lincoln Z Zunya version, that is, the most recommended; if the budget is limited, and the pursuit of a certain comfort configuration, you can also consider the recommended configuration of the premium version. As a large top version, it is more suitable for consumers who pursue the ultimate car experience and have a very sufficient budget, after all, the configuration and comfort obtained are far greater than the money spent, and the cost performance is also good. Finally, combined with the Lincoln Z pre-sale period rights given by Lincoln officially, if it is decided years ago, it can also enjoy free maintenance in 5 years and 10 times, which can save a lot of money on the subsequent cost of car maintenance, so the car is still quite cost-effective before the Spring Festival arrives.
