In the context of consumption upgrading, many friends have set their sights on models with more luxurious brands, higher prices and larger sizes. Especially the BBA "troika", its BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4L have a very good heat.
In order to sprint this market, many second-tier luxury brands have also begun to exert their strength in this market, for example, not long ago, Lincoln Automobile brought us a new model - Lincoln Z. It is worth saying that although the positioning of the Lincoln Z is a luxury medium-sized car, its body size and configuration have reached the level of the BMW 5 Series, so does the Lincoln Z car have the strength to benchmark the BMW 5 Series? I don't believe you to discern!
In order to make everyone more intuitively compare the differences between the two cars, we will select the Lincoln Z 2022 i-Enjoy Premium Edition with a manufacturer guidance price of 340,800 yuan and the BMW 5 Series 2022 with a manufacturer guidance price of 428,900 yuan to compare the 525Li M sports suit model.
Feel different luxury, body size is evenly matched
For young consumers, everyone pays special attention to appearance when buying a car. In terms of design, Lincoln Z provides i cool and i share dual design, and BMW 5 Series, consumers can choose their own appearance according to their own needs, and the model we choose is the i-share version.
From the design point of view, the i-edition has a silver-gray mid-mesh embellishment on the front face, at the same time, the window of this car also adopts a chrome design, coupled with the introverted surrounding, the visual experience of the whole car is still relatively luxurious. It is worth saying that in some details, we can still see the difference between the two versions, specifically, the front face of both is equipped with a penetrating LED strip and a glowing Lincoln star, which looks more luxurious.
The vision moves to the side, the design of this car is also relatively smooth, although Lincoln Z did not use too slender waist line, but from the performance of this car, the car still through low wind resistance rims, hidden door handles and other details to enhance their appearance. If you ignore the power of this car, it is likely to be mistaken for a new car-making force model. As for the rear part, the taillights of this car also adopt a 3D suspension design, and the overall visual experience is very good.
As for the BMW 5 Series, it is more of a decent design. The only difference with the same class of models is that the double kidney grille of this car has been redesigned, on the basis of having a larger size, with the family style headlights on both sides, the appearance performance of the whole car is still very good, in line with everyone's pursuit of luxury cars.
As a high-end car, the body size also has to be said. Referring to the size comparison of the two cars, the Lincoln Z has a 4982mm length, which is close to the BMW 5 Series. At the same time, thanks to the ultra-long wheelbase of 2930mm, the rear space of the Lincoln Z is also at the leading level of the class. From the actual experience, combined with the oversized panoramic sunroof overhead, the riding atmosphere in the car is not inferior to the BMW 5 Series.
Experience the luxury cockpit, where the Lincoln Z has a cross-level performance
If you talk about the atmosphere alone, it will inevitably be a little superficial, after all, today's young people's pursuit of the configuration of the car is also very high. When you sit in the Lincoln Z car, the first thing that catches your eye is a large panoramic screen with a length of 1.1 meters. It is worth saying that this large screen is not the so-called "look goods", in addition to the large, this set of large screens also supports the Lincoln Nebula human-computer interaction interface, and the driving experience is relatively excellent.
In order to further enhance the technology atmosphere in the car, the Lincoln Touch smart control panel under the center console of Lincoln Z adopts a buttonless design, with vibration feedback function, which can create a damping operation experience for users. For some consumers who pay attention to physical feedback, this design is still very gratifying. At the same time, the owner can also operate the sunroof/sunshade opening and closing, trunk switch and other operations through the voice control intelligent digital assistant, and the car experience is more luxurious.
In contrast, the BMW 5 Series, although the screen is not as long as the Lincoln Z model, but from the actual experience, the configuration of this car is still relatively rich. At the same time, as BMW's flagship model, from human-computer interaction, to road navigation, to voice control, this car is also equipped. However, it should be noted that in some detailed configurations, similar to air purifiers and car fragrance configurations, BMW 5 Series is not equipped, and the gap between the two is still relatively obvious.
Of course, in addition to some of the previously mentioned configurations, in some links that are easily overlooked by consumers, the Lincoln Z model also does better. For example, in order to ensure the safety of the driver's car, this car is equipped with a good size HUD head-up display; at the same time, in order to improve the quietness of the ride in the car, the active noise reduction system is not absent on this body, as for the BMW 5 Series, these configurations are also vacant in our selected models.
Also a 2.0T engine, Lincoln Z Power has an absolute advantage
The reason why luxury cars are luxurious is also closely related to its power. In terms of power, lincoln Z's strength is absolutely very good. Unlike the BMW 5 Series, which provides high and low power, the Lincoln Z Series is equipped with a standard 2.0T high-power engine, a maximum power of 181kW, and an official acceleration time of 0-100km/h of 6.8s, which is more powerful than the BMW 5 Series 2022 remodeled 525Li M sports suit.
At the same time, in order to ensure a smooth power output, this high-power engine is matched with a smooth 8AT gearbox. The advantages of this design are more obvious, which can ensure sufficient athletic performance and ensure the economy and smoothness of daily driving. For consumers who focus on driving experience, isn't this exactly the power experience that everyone is looking for?
It is worth saying that at the level of intelligent assisted driving, the strength of Lincoln Z is also remarkable. Relying on the Lincoln Co-Pilot 3602.0 intelligent driving assistance system, the car can provide users with the necessary L2+ level driving assistance functions, in addition to functions such as iACC intelligent adaptive cruise, PCA anti-collision system, Lincoln Z also added Lincoln ActiveGlide active driving assistance system, which can effectively ensure the safety of the driver's car.
In contrast, the BMW 5 Series is more in the power of the effort, as for the intelligent auxiliary driving configuration, it is not provided because of the price. Of course, if you buy a car just for your daily travel needs, the BMW 5 Series car can still meet everyone's needs.
Conclusion:
In an increasingly competitive market, the appearance of lincoln Z undoubtedly makes everyone feel bright. As a product for the Chinese market, Lincoln Z has a good performance in both appearance design and interior layout, coupled with its space and power, the cost performance of the whole vehicle is also very high.
