A few years ago, when the BMW X1 was just finished updating, it was named "leapfrog SUV" because its body size and ride space performance far exceeded the mainstream level of luxury compact SUVs at that time. Today, leapfrogging is no longer an unfamiliar word, but a common means for latecomer challengers, such as the Lincoln adventurer of the same level as BMW X1, who has successfully become the "big dark horse" in this segment. However, it should be noted that although the Lincoln Adventurer and BMW X1 are both called "leapfrog SUVs", the way of implementation and the degree of empowerment are different, which is more sincere? The following is a comparison to see the real chapter.
The specific models of this comparison are the Lincoln Adventurer 2022 2.0T two-wheel drive Zunya version (the official guide price is 279,800 yuan) and the BMW X1 2021 modified sDrive20Li fashion model (the official guide price is 279,800 yuan).
Appearance: Pay attention to the aura and emphasize sports
Regarding the appearance style, the Lincoln Adventurer, like other SUV models of the same brand, takes a calm and atmospheric route, and the entire aura is very much in line with the impression that the brand has always given everyone. The BMW X1 is obviously more sporty, its front end shape is more aggressive, and the lines are quite sharp. On the appearance of the charm of the face, I believe that both can meet the eyes of most consumers.
Interior: Technological luxury and pragmatism
The interior of the Lincoln Adventurer is very much in line with everyone's understanding of American luxury, and the atmosphere is extremely well created, while there is no lack of technology. BMW has never been known for its interior, and the X1, as the brand's entry-level SUV, is almost lackluster. As for the richness of the features in the car, the Lincoln Adventurer has a very obvious advantage, and even many of them are unique in their class.
Space: Balanced layout and preferential back row
The Lincoln Adventurer measures 4615/1887/1630mm with a wheelbase of 2711mm, while the BMW X1 measures 4565/1821/1620mm with a wheelbase of 2780mm. The BMW X1's rear seating space performance is still superior, while the Lincoln Adventurer is victorious in balance, whether it is the rear space or the trunk space, it has a good performance. In addition, the seat comfort of the Lincoln Adventurer is unmatched by the BMW X1.
Power: 2.0T+8AT and 1.5T+7DCT
In terms of powertrain, the Lincoln brand has always been known for its high specifications, and even its cheapest adventurers have achieved the full range of 2.0T high-power engines. The engine has a maximum power of 180 kW (245 PS), a maximum torque of 390 N·m, a relatively strong power output, and an efficient and smooth combination with the 8-speed automatic transmission, which can bring a smooth power experience.
The BMW X1 is available with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine or a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, which is equipped with a maximum power of 103 kW (140 PS) and a maximum torque of 220 N·m. In terms of transmission, it is matched with a 7-stop wet-type dual-clutch transmission.
In terms of actual driving texture, the Lincoln adventurer belongs to a solid, stable and comfortable style, while the BMW X1 is more tough and has a certain degree of sporty tone.
It is worth mentioning that the sound insulation and noise reduction of Lincoln Adventurers is also a cross-level level, thanks to the four-door laminated glass, the cabin double-layer soundproof wall, ANC active noise reduction, Michelin silent tires and other conditions to support, its driving quietness is quite outstanding. In this regard, it is one of the main slots of BMW X1.
Summary of the full text
To this day, the ride space is still the killer of BMW X1, and the reality of the cross-level space table is well deserved. Unlike the BMW X1, the Lincoln Adventurer brings a complete experience on the leapfrog, although its riding space is slightly inferior to the BMW X1, but it is also the forefront of the same level, and in the powertrain, ride comfort, driving tranquility, luxury features, forward-looking technology configuration and other aspects, it has achieved the best in the same level. Therefore, it is no accident that Lincoln adventurers achieved the title of "Great Dark Horse". (Photo/Text: Zhang Hua of Pacific Auto Network)
