The U.S. luxury B-class car Lincoln Z is nearing the listing, before the Lincoln brand has always paid attention to the layout of the domestic SUV field, this new sedan is naturally highly anticipated. Although the new car is benchmarked with the BMW 3 Series from the market positioning, when it comes to space, performance, configuration, etc., it can fully compete with the BMW 5 Series. Below, we will compare the Lincoln Z with the BMW 5 Series to see who is better.
Exterior design: Lincoln Z is more in line with the current mainstream aesthetic
When we buy a car, we generally look at the value of the face first. In terms of appearance design, the Lincoln Z modeling with a new design style pulls the wind dynamic, and there are two kinds of front face shapes to choose from, one is the front face grille using the "star dot array" design, one is the blackened grid grille design, the upper side break point light strip runs through the car logo to connect the sharp headlight group, and the visual impact is very strong. The body shape is smooth and has a déjà vu like a coupe.
In addition to the iconic "double kidney" shape of the BMW 5 series, other detailed designs seem to be somewhat "out of hand", although there are two styles to choose from, but mainly in the front of the encirclement of a little effort, the overall is still a strong sense of moderation design.
From the perspective of appearance comparison, lincoln Z's trendy and sporty design is more in line with the mainstream aesthetic of the current market.
Spatial comparison: B-level positioning is not vain at all
Whether you buy a medium-sized car or a medium-sized car, that space is naturally a part of what consumers value. In this part, don't look at the Lincoln Z positioning difference 5 series a level, but the spatial performance is not vain at all.
First look directly at the body data of the next two cars: Lincoln Z's body length, width and height are 4982/1865/1485mm, and the wheelbase is 2930mm; BMW 5 Series standard axle version of the body length, width and height are 4976/1868/1489mm, the wheelbase is 2975mm, Lincoln Z is dominant in length, and the width is almost flat. In terms of actual riding, the middle part of the BMW 5 Series rear has a significant convexity, making the middle passengers look awkward when sitting for a long time, while the Lincoln Z rear is much flatter and the comfort is also linearly improved.
It can be said that in the back row space performance that consumers are very concerned about, the Lincoln Z is also better than the 5 Series.

In terms of intelligent experience, although the 5 series has intelligent interactive functions such as voice control, but with a new Lincoln Nebula human-computer interactive interface and equipped with the fourth generation of Lincoln SYNC + Zhixing interconnection system, Lincoln Z has intelligent AI language interaction functions, interactive experience is obviously more advantageous; in addition, Lincoln Z also supports the vehicle FOTA upgrade, the vehicle can be automatically updated and upgraded like a smart phone, without the need for manual operation by the user, and the BMW 5 series only supports the OTA upgrade of the car, and the update frequency is not too high.
