If you ask me what kind of luxury mid-size car I buy with about 300,000, I will not hesitate to recommend BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Cadillac CT5 and other luxury brand mid-size cars before.
But in 2022, if you ask me this question again, I will tell you without hesitation, go straight to Lincoln Z! In order to see the obvious difference, today we will take the BMW 3 Series and Lincoln Z for an in-depth comparison.
Each has its own strengths, and the Lincoln Z space is even better
Let's talk about the BMW 3 Series, as a model that has been conquering the market for several years, I believe everyone is more familiar with this car. Although the "2022 model" has just been updated this year, as an annual remodeled model, the overall shape of the BMW 3 Series still continues the design of the old model, and the overall style is still decent, especially the two "big nostrils" on the front face, making it look slightly old-fashioned, not too in line with the aesthetic standards of young people at present.
In contrast, as a new model of Lincoln Z is obviously more up-to-date in terms of design, the overall design is very futuristic while retaining the essence of Lincoln brand American luxury, technology-enabled aesthetics break through the boundaries of traditional car design, especially the new integrated headlights and the entire taillight 285 LED light beads and laser engraving leather pattern details, so that the whole car looks very dynamic, young, I personally think that if you start from the aesthetics of young people, Lincoln Z will obviously be more loved.
As a luxury medium-sized car, just looking at the appearance is obviously not comprehensive enough, and the size is the basic premise of space practicality. In terms of size, the BMW 3 Series has a length, width and height of 4719/1827/1459mm and a wheelbase of 2851mm. The Lincoln Z has a length, width and height of 4892/1865/1485mm and a wheelbase of 2930mm. Through intuitive data comparison, it can be seen that the Lincoln Z has completely surpassed the BMW 3 Series, which is bound to bring better riding space.
For a family car, the large space of the foundation can only be regarded as the first step, in addition to allowing the family to sit spacious, but also to let every occupant enjoy the high quality of the configuration as much as possible. Therefore, configuration comparison is naturally also essential. Therefore, today we will compare the Lincoln Z i Cool Premium Edition (guide price: 255,000) and the BMW 3 Series 2022 325i M sports suit (guide price 293,900).
In terms of price, the BMW 3 Series is more expensive than the Lincoln Z in terms of overall price, and the two models compared are the entry models of the brand, but the BMW 3 Series is more than 30,000 yuan more than the Lincoln Z. As a luxury brand midsize car, it is clear that the Lincoln Z is more affordable in price.
The competition of scientific and technological attributes, the gap between the two is huge
In addition, in terms of configuration, Lincoln Z is also full of sincerity, the whole series is equipped with 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, resolution 1920 * 720, three main bodies with comfortable, sporty, energy-saving different driving modes, the dashboard can be linked with the central control system, the use of a new multi-finger operation interaction mode, and the navigation content can be quickly synchronized, bringing users a more futuristic car experience.
In addition, lincoln Z is also carefully equipped with the whole car seat belt is not tied reminder, road traffic sign recognition, steering wheel shift, active noise reduction and other configurations, which are not available in the BMW 3 Series.
Finally, let's talk about the mechanical quality level that everyone cares about most. First of all, the BMW 3 Series is equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum horsepower of 156 hp, a maximum power of 115 KW, and a maximum torque of 250N.m. The Lincoln Z is relatively full of power, the same 2.0T engine, but the Lincoln Z has a maximum horsepower of 246, a maximum power of 181KW, and a maximum torque of 376N.m.
In fact, not only the Lincoln Z model, throughout the Lincoln brand series, each of their models is a well-deserved "head-to-head king" among their competitors in the same level, which is why Lincoln's sales in the Chinese market can rise steadily. As consumers, when buying luxury brand models, we may wish to relax our eyes and not limit ourselves to BBA products, otherwise excellent products such as Lincoln Z may pass with us.
