Frankly, I'm a car lover, a Fiat 500, Suzuki Ingnis, Jimney, MX-5, and so on, which are my daily obsessions.
So when Bai Chuan said that he had hired a Lincoln Navigator, or an extended version, I was a little resistant in my heart, because I felt that my "favorites" were like toys in front of this guy who was more than five or six meters long, and I was like a "child"... But I didn't have to think about it too much, Baichuan first threw me a sentence - cool turned over!
The following is the main text
Nowadays, Lincoln brand models have a high degree of "uniformity" in terms of family design, some models are indeed difficult to distinguish from a distance, but the navigator will never appear in this situation, whether you look at it from the front of the car or from the side or the rear of the car, you can see at a glance that it is a navigator, as for the navigator L that we talked about today, it is even more so - because it is so big, the country is basically such a one.
You may not know what the concept of a 5657mm SUV is, and we usually only describe this SUV in two words - outrageous. Among the large SUVs sold in China, the more typical BMW X7, the body length of 5163mm, rolls-royce Cullinan body length of 5341mm, BMW X7 in front of Cullinan like a brother, Cullinan in front of this Lincoln Navigator L also looks like a brother - at least in terms of size, it is true.
In terms of design, the navigator actually does not have too many routines, that is, it follows the latest family design of the Lincoln brand, but the huge size makes it look more solemn and serious.
Of course, a careful look at the middle net, the light cavity of these parts, or can find that it is not lacking in detail, but most people see its first reaction is to lean back, inhale, and then shout a sentence - really big, thus neglecting the beauty of the details of the navigator.
Baichuan had borrowed a Lincoln Navigator before, and at that time I thought" this car was really domineering. The big car of the American system is incomparable to the German system. This time the navigator L is even more "domineering" of the highest level.
But the interior of the Navigator L is exactly the same as the ordinary Navigator, I especially like this color, officially called "Modern Yacht", the overall blue is the mainstay, with white stitching process, the overall gives people a very refreshing feeling. And as an American brand, the workmanship naturally does not have to worry, a large area of leather materials piled up, the sense of luxury spontaneously emerged.
The central control touch screen is 10 inches, this size is a little small for the size of the Navigator L, but the convenience of use is no problem, but then again, for many models of the interior of the screen is getting bigger and bigger, the main pursuit is still a sense of technology, and Lincoln's sense of luxury engraved in the bones is also fresh in memory. The LCD meter is 12.3 inches, in order to pay tribute to the classic, the UI design of the interface pursues a minimalist style, but the brightness of the content display is a little low.
The gear shift mechanism is button-type, for the user who is just in contact, it takes a certain amount of time to adapt to it, and when it is ready, the button shift is still very convenient to use, and I think it is not inferior to the Mercedes-Benz's pocket gear.
Before the test drive of the Navigator Long axis presidential version, I actually tested the pilot of the standard axis version. So I didn't expect much from this car, and after the test drive, the impression of this car was also expected.
The 10AT transmission isn't a particularly aggressive tuning, and you can't get that decisive and crisp acceleration experience on this car. Probably because of the relatively large inertia of the car weight, its power feeling is like a spring of water "gushing" out of the feeling. The mid-to-late dynamics are still relatively strong, and the feeling of smoothness is better than that of the dynamics. The suspension is also consistent with the standard axle version of the model, which belongs to the style of the American car, and the road sense is not obvious, which will make you feel the speed slow down.
Driving it gives me the deepest feeling, still big, "bigger than big" is the most impressive point of it. The length of the vehicle has reached 5657 mm, what is this concept? Gl8, which is common in our lives, is only about 5.2M in length. This car is 40 cm longer than the GL8.
The direct effect is that when entering and exiting many parking lots, you have to slowly wait for the B-pillar to pass through the barrier bar for a distance before you can hit the direction, otherwise you will "rub your waist". At the same time, the front suspension of this car is very long, and you can't clearly perceive the situation in front of the front and bottom of the car, which makes my heart still a little panicked. Moreover, I am still an "old driver" of more than 300,000 kilometers in 10 years. Even though the navigators have panoramic images and 360-degree radar, these systems need to pay more attention when facing more extreme situations. So "big" is the biggest feature of this car, the length of the small passenger car defined by the mainland traffic regulations is less than 6 meters, this car is close to the limit, so its driving experience is sometimes similar to a "full of power" self-propelled C-type motorhome.
The sense of luxury in the car is also like Lincoln's usual style, and it is worth mentioning that the sound insulation and sound performance of this car is something I like very much. Revel's 20-speaker speakers have a very transparent soundstage, with particularly detailed midrange and treble.
Overall, the Lincoln Navigator Long-Axis Presidential Edition is a standard American "big car" that can give you enough comfort and luxury on a long journey. Of course, I think its real use scenario should be to add a tow hook and then pull a luxurious "American" motorhome. As for daily use, before purchasing it, please be mentally prepared to drive a "big car".
Before I got this Lincoln Navigator L, I also test-drove the standard shaft version, and the feeling is still fresh in my memory, and the vanity was greatly satisfied! This can't help but make me look forward to the arrival of the long-axis version, and I can't "burst" my vanity in situ???
But somehow, the moment I saw the car, I returned to my senses and even began to think, "How much oil does this guy have to drink from me?" Fortunately, the reality is still "plump" enough, on the first day of shooting about 100 kilometers of distance, it still has more than 500 kilometers of endurance, let my hanging heart instantly put down, the actual fuel consumption of more than 14L of the achievement, for a 2.8 tons of heavy car, quite impressive. For me, the "pain" of fuel consumption is solved, and the remaining few days can fully enjoy the "happiness" brought to me by this car.
If I get a car and don't feel the power, it's not my character at all, and this navigator certainly can't escape the same treatment. This 3.5L twin-turbo engine has 680N·m, 388Ps data, which can make this behemoth give me a sense of pushing back anytime and anywhere, and the small problem of overtaking is not a problem. But this accelerated push back feeling is different from a performance car or a sports car, and the voice is exhausted? No, calm and elegant I can also surpass you~
If you want to talk about weaknesses, then there is really, this navigator L long shaft presidential version of the car has 5657mm, longer than the standard shaft 302mm, although its steering angle is larger than other models, the steering wheel can turn two times, but in the reverse or in the alley is a problem, it may be that I am more worried, after all, it is possible for the owner, that is the driver should consider the problem ~ but I still recommend that I open, the standard shaft is very good!
Next, I'm going to say "vanity" at the beginning! Driving this Navigator L can really make my vanity "burst" in place! Blue paint + illuminated logo, whether in the parking lot or on the road, day or night, is the focus. I parked to buy a glass of water and came back, someone was taking a video at the side of the car, can you believe it? And this huge body, the sense of oppression of the car next door is also indescribably strong.
Vanity is greatly satisfied, let's return to reason and talk about reality. If I talk to you about "value for money" at this price, you will definitely say that I am "sick", but the Lincoln Navigator is really good value for money. Starting with this level of SUV, although there are also consumers who pursue control performance, I believe that a larger part of the consumer demand will be based on the surface, large, high configuration as the starting point, then you think about the price range of 110-130 million, what SUV can you buy? I admit there are many, but how many models are bigger and more imposing than the Navigator, and how many are higher-equipped than it? If you don't believe it, you can check the parameter table online, and you will come back and say "Navigator Is Really Fragrant"
