Lincoln's version of "Mondeo", the price is quite thick, the standard 246 horsepower, but unfortunately not backwards
This year's upcoming new generation of Ford Mondeo is definitely the strength to make you stunning, held back for 9 years without updating, the result of the new Mondeo has brought more and more unexpected changes, the appearance is more and more close to the aesthetics of young people, the interior directly provides a super full screen, especially the right 27-inch 4K screen has been extended to the co-pilot, if you continue to benchmark the price of Accord Mago, then the new generation of Mondeo has the strength to turn the tide of Ford's sales. In fact, as a luxury brand under Ford, Lincoln Motors is now introducing local products that are also very interesting, such as the new Lincoln Z can be called a luxury version of Mondeo.
The size positioning of the model is also a medium-sized B-class, but as long as you look at the parameters, you will find that there is a trend of leapfrogging, Lincoln body length has reached 4982mm, the vehicle wheelbase is 2930mm, if it is called a medium and large sedan, there is no problem, but Lincoln car does not want to be too high-profile. In this case, the Lincoln Z entry pre-sale starting price of 255,000, obviously to take the cost-effective route, which is even more sincere than the Cadillac CT5.
The design language is of course Lincoln style, the appearance and Mondeo are not highly similar, the front face of the car is huge black net recognition is very high, in the middle in addition to the through-type daily travel light strip, there is a new self-illuminating Lincoln cross star logo. There is a clear coupe design language on the side, and a highly recognizable Lincoln through-beam light at the rear.
The interior has the feeling of Ford Mondeo, because the same full-screen configuration is adopted, and the entire center console is completely surrounded by the screen, which is expected to become a popular trend in recent years, and the domestic Geely Star Yue L also has a similar design. However, if you want to compete in luxury texture, Lincoln Z is obviously much stronger than the new generation of Mondeo, after all, there is a luxury brand heritage support, a large number of color-block leather fabrics are covered very comprehensively, and the sound system and sound insulation effect are also superior.
The maximum output of the Ford 2.0T engine used by the new Mondeo is already very strong, but the Lincoln Z and displacement 2.0T engines have been upgraded by another notch, and the maximum output of the entire series is 246 horsepower, which is stronger than the Cadillac intelligent variable cylinder 2.0T engine. The gearbox is also not to worry, the entry-level version provides 8at hand self-integration.
The only regret is that the Lincoln Z series does not provide a 4-wheel drive configuration, and the two-wheel drive version of the whole series belongs to the front-facing front-drive, which is at a disadvantage in the luxury market, because even the entry-level Cadillac CT4 sedan also uses a front-facing rear-drive configuration, and the rear-drive car will undoubtedly be better handled. The Lincoln Z uses a transverse engine, and front-wheel drive is indeed a bit of a drag for handling.
Overall, the strength of the new Lincoln Z sedan is very strong, although there is no back-end, but it is undeniable that the cost performance is not bad, at least it does not show too high a premium like Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, if there is a large discount after the follow-up official listing, this car has a chance to hit cadillac's market share.
The question is, do you think the Lincoln Z can sell the Cadillac CT5? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and discuss with fans!
