The best level replacement for the Audi A4L? With a standard 2.0T+8AT, is the Lincoln Z worth considering?
In the luxury B-class car market, Audi A4L is the most balanced product, its performance in all aspects of the case, the price is relatively not very high, especially the lowest naked car price after the discount has been as low as 250,000 yuan, the overall cost performance is still quite high, but want to choose a 2.0T in the power and good configuration of the version, at least 300,000 yuan or even more to land in full. So at this time, if the budget is limited, it is obvious that choosing the Audi A4L is not very cost-effective, and the Lincoln Z is a good choice.
Price analysis
At present, Lincoln Z has opened a pre-sale, its pre-sale price range of 25.50-34.20 million yuan, although it is only a pre-sale price, but it can also play a good reference effect, and the current car can already be booked, to the price of Lincoln Z, in fact, it is not expensive, choose the next low-end model full of about 300,000 yuan, choose the same price of Lincoln Z and Audi A4L, obviously in addition to the brand, all aspects of performance Lincoln Z are more outstanding.
Regarding the design of Lincoln Z, I personally think it is still quite in place, in terms of appearance, Lincoln Z adopts a new design language, specifically the large size of the dot matrix grille, as well as the LED headlight group, bringing a good visual impact. The side of the body has Lincoln's exclusive logo, and the Lincoln Z uses streamlined body lines and hidden door handles, which are rare in the B-class cars owned by traditional car companies.
At the rear, the Lincoln Z uses a penetrating tail light group, while the rear adopts a concave design, which looks more in line with the mainstream characteristics of the times. In terms of size, lincoln Z length, width and height are 4982/1865/1485 mm, wheelbase is 2930 mm, from the size point of view, Lincoln Z is still very advantageous in terms of size, compared to many competitors in the same level of more advantages.
The biggest point of view into the car, in fact, is the Lincoln Z through-line screen, I believe that in the future Lincoln's many models will also be equipped with this interior design, while Lincoln Z also adopts Lincoln's iconic button shift mode, the overall workmanship and materials in the car are also relatively thick, in line with the positioning of a luxury B-class car.
In terms of power, the American car has never dragged its legs, lincoln Z series equipped with 2.0T + 8AT power combination, the maximum power of the engine is 246 horsepower, zero hundred acceleration performance of 6.8s, the entire series of models are front-drive, and no four-wheel drive version is provided. From the power point of view, Lincoln Z's book parameters are excellent enough, while providing standard, sport and energy saving three driving modes, in the standard mode, Lincoln Z's power reserve is also sufficient, after all, is a 2.0T engine, from the start, to the middle and rear section and then accelerate, its performance is remarkable, 8AT gearbox shift logic and smoothness also performed well, further strengthening the driving comfort of the vehicle. Because the whole vehicle is more comfortable, even at high speeds, Lincoln Z also shows good driving comfort and NVH performance, bringing a good driving experience.
Editor's Comments:
In fact, before the adventurist, navigator and other models were listed, for the Lincoln brand, I personally felt that the overall product strength and competitiveness were greatly insufficient, especially the brand power was not strong, so this is the main reason why Lincoln's previous performance in the domestic market was very general. And after the domestic Lincoln adventurer, navigator, aviator and other models are listed, Lincoln's new medium-sized car Lincoln Z has also officially met with us, on product strength, Lincoln Z overall performance is not inferior to the same level of mainstream first-line luxury competitors, can be regarded as the best level of Audi A4L, including appearance, interior design, technology experience, riding experience and power performance, are excellent, the only thing lacking is actually brand power, so if the pricing of Lincoln Z is appropriate, I believe that the Lincoln Z will have a good market performance and is also a model worth considering.
