Ford's electrification strategy will soon extend to the Lincoln brand. According to foreign media reports, Lincoln's first pure electric model will soon come out, and will launch 5 pure electric models by 2026, and complete the electrification of its full product matrix by 2030. It is reported that these new energy models will replace the fuel version of Lincoln adventurers, navigators, aviators and navigators.
Lincoln's first all-electric SUV will soon be available, most likely an all-electric version of the aviator, and is expected to go into production at the group's Oakville, Ontario plant around the end of 2024 or early 2025. From the appearance of the body, the pure electric version of the aviator has a strong sense of science and technology, and the body fashion elements are widely used, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people. The all-electric version of Adventurer and Voyager is expected to launch in 2025!
In response to Tesla's dominance in the electric vehicle market, Ford will increase its annual production capacity to 600,000 electric vehicles in the next 24 months and is expected to become the second largest electric vehicle manufacturer in North America after Tesla. It is reported that the Oakville plant will undergo a $1.5 billion retrofit to replace the existing internal combustion engine production line with a production line that supports electric motor production.
At present, Lincoln's models on sale in China are mainly SUV-based, including compact SUV adventurers, medium-sized SUV navigators, medium-sized and large-sized SUV pilots, these 3 models have completed domestic production, while full-size SUV navigators are sold in imported fashion. Therefore, the five new cars that will be launched in the future may contain small SUVs or crossover SUVs.
To keep costs to a minimum, two smaller Lincoln electric SUVs will feature the platform currently used by the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The new flagship electric SUV will be on par with the Navigator, and this model is expected to feature the architecture of the C Ford F-150 Lightning. The Lincoln Navigator fuel version itself uses the same non-load-bearing chassis as the Ford F-150 family, so the all-electric version will continue this design. The new car will adopt the front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive form, which will greatly increase the torque compared with the current model, and the endurance is expected to exceed 500km.
By 2026, Lincoln will transform into a brand focused on high-end electric vehicles. This is similar to what we've seen at Cadillac, which has already started to develop electrified products such as the Lyriq crossover and the Celestiq sedan.
Write at the end:
Lincoln's electrification future is a foregone conclusion, let's look forward to the Lincoln new energy model together!
