If you want to buy a luxury B-Class car, I believe that the German troika Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L are the options that most people can't avoid. It is also in this way that if you want to compete with the BBA with enough brand power, you need to show more sincerity, such as cadillac CT5, Volvo S60 and other models to pursue a "price for volume" strategy, and the upcoming Lincoln Z is to make consumers feel that it is worth the money. The reason is that as a luxury medium-sized car, Lincoln Z has the strength to rival medium and large cars, and the price is very close to the people. Next, we will compare the BMW 5 Series with the Lincoln Z to see how the Lincoln Z can achieve "dimensionality reduction strike".
First of all, Lincoln Z is very aware of the sense of momentum required by consumers at this price point, its length, width and height reached 4982/1865/1485mm, and the length of nearly 5 meters has obvious advantages compared with Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, Audi A4L, and even surpasses the BMW 5 Series standard shaft version, in order to highlight the aura with large size. The 2930mm wheelbase is also clearly moving towards the comprehensive positioning of "home and business", and is equipped with a 13-speaker Revel sound, active noise reduction system, multi-layer soundproof glass, interior fragrance device, 128-color mood lights, an openable panoramic sunroof and a central armrest with cup holders in the rear, bringing an executive-level noble riding experience.
Since it is a luxury brand model, it is natural to reflect the "luxury" at some level, and the answer given by Lincoln Z is a sense of ceremony: the horizon through LED front and rear headlights will slowly light up in the form of natural flow when the owner approaches the vehicle, and is lit up with the Lincoln Star logo and the "LINCOLN" character at the rear of the car, revealing a sense of honor. At the same time, the hidden door handle induction pops out, a huge 1.8-meter welcome light blanket appears on both sides of the body, and there will be a Detroit Symphony prompt when the door is opened, and the seating rear seat, mood lights and fragrance are automatically adjusted to fill the sense of atmosphere. Isn't this kind of immersive luxury more advanced than the BMW 5 Series?
In addition, the smart technology experience of the Lincoln Z is also slightly better than the BMW 5 Series. 12.3 inches + 27 inches through the large screen coverage center console, with the face recognition system, such a sci-fi futuristic sense is shocking enough. The BMW 5 Series adopts a full LCD instrument + suspension central control screen design, compared to lincoln Z, there is no shortage of some outdated. At the same time, the addition of a dual-width intelligent control steering wheel, digital backlight function keys and piano key electronic shifting has also made lincoln Z more graded. As for the creation of a sense of luxury, wood grain trim panels, suede + natural leather seats also once again interpret the "beauty luxury", compared with the BMW 5 Series.
In addition, Lincoln Z is also equipped with Nebulas human-computer interactive interface and the fourth generation SYNC+ intelligent travel interconnection system, which supports functions such as split-screen operation, AI voice interaction, online navigation and in-vehicle entertainment ecology. The FOTA non-sensory upgrade of the whole vehicle is a major highlight, similar to the commonly used new experience of new energy vehicles, such a new electrification architecture is one era ahead of bmw 5 series. Intelligent driver assistance systems are not absent, such as active braking, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, lane departure warning, one-touch parking and 360-degree panoramic images. It can be said that compared to the BMW 5 Series, the Lincoln Z provides a more humane car experience.
As for power, the Lincoln Z also showed a leapfrog advantage. Its entire series is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, the maximum power is 181kW (246 horsepower), the maximum torque is 376 Nm, the transmission system matches the 8-speed manual transmission, and the zero hundred acceleration takes only 6.8 seconds, which is nearly 2 seconds faster than the BMW 525Li model, but it should be known that the BMW 5 Series is priced at 428,900 yuan, while the pre-price of the Lincoln Z is only 25.5-34.2 million yuan, which can be described as very thick. And such power parameters, compared with Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, Audi A4L models at the same price point have achieved "crushing". I really can't find any more appropriate adjectives other than cheekiness.
It is not difficult to find that although the Lincoln Z is positioned as a medium-sized sedan, it has the performance of medium and large cars such as the BMW 5 Series in terms of product strength, whether it is the comfortable riding experience brought by nearly 5 meters long, or the intelligent configuration of the sense of science and technology, or the power performance of the leapfrog, which is very in line with the needs of luxury brand high-end car users. From the current pre-price point of view, according to the "routine", the final price may be lower than the pre-price, so it is very likely that less than 250,000 yuan will start. It can be said that the Lincoln Z can break the wrist with the BMW 5 Series, but it grabs the market with the 3 Series. So, what do you think about Lincoln Z, welcome to leave a comment.
