The words luxury and youth have little relevance in my previous impression. But I don't know when, the two words are more and more closely related, even lincoln, which focuses on American luxury, has come to interpret, and today we talk about the new Lincoln Z.
Chrome, leather, comfort, composure and atmosphere are my impressions of the Lincoln brand, but putting them together with youth is a bit contrary. So how did Lincoln solve it? First of all, there are two different design styles on the Lincoln Z, and there are also two memorable names to distinguish, the i-enjoy version and the i-cool version.
The silver in the picture is the i-share version, compared with the red i cool version, the front, rear, wheel shape and body color matching are different, the i-enjoy version of the American luxury taste is retained more, and the i-cool version has more of a young and dynamic taste.
However, compared with other Lincoln models, even the i-edition can be clearly seen, its chrome plating area is reduced, the black element is increased, and a new energy-style through-light strip that is cool when lit up is added to express a sense of youth. The front face part I personally prefer the i-share version, I think the i cool version of the front face is more sporty, but lacks a little layer and calm.
On the side of the body, there is not much difference between the two versions. However, the i-enjoy version and the i-cool version each have two special shades of red and blue, and these four colors I think are suitable colors to highlight the unique temperament of the two versions. For example, the i-share version of the glacier blue comes with its own noble atmosphere, while the i-cool version of the artistic blue highlights the body lines and appears more sharp. The wheel hub part also has the same feeling as the car paint, this i-version is the feeling of stretching and elegance, and the rectangular shape of the i-cool version is more sporty.
Looking at the circle, combined with the rear part of the car, you can actually see Lincoln's ability in exterior design. The tail of the car will be two versions of the ducktail, showing a combination of sportiness and elegance just right. In fact, in terms of appearance, the two sets of design languages have shown their own styles. But I personally would prefer a more exaggerated and more American super bright chrome-plated Lincoln Z, there is no such thing as the one in front of the screen, you can buckle 1.
I came to see the problem in the car, because I am now a large-screen professional. After all, we now have two new forces in "Snail Car Chronicle", one is a double screen, and the other is a super large screen. What I want to focus on is the screen that looks very technological. In addition, Lincoln Z in the car and screen, is there a Lincoln luxury gene shown? After all, large screens are not uncommon in the new car market, but models that are both luxurious and technological are still difficult to find.
Is the luxury in the car preserved?
The answer is that there is a sense of luxury in the workmanship, configuration and design, but the understanding of luxury has changed.
Putting aside the 1.1-meter-long continuous screen, the Lincoln models launched in the past, whether it is the SUV on sale and the car that has been discontinued, are all knob-type button layouts, and there must be solid wood in high-end models.
But we can see that on the Lincoln Z, it becomes 3 simple levers and buttons with tactile feedback, integrating more functions into the screen, and even in the top model of the i-share version, there is no solid wood. But the welcome blanket when entering the door, the welcome sound, including the interior stitching, buttons and leather texture can all reflect the sense of luxury.
How to use this double screen in the car?
1: The texture and clarity of the screen are of a good level, and the sensory difference is not much from the mobile phone screen.
2: The fluency of the car machine is decent, and there is still a little distance from the performance of first-class Tesla, but it is basically the same as the fluency of the current new power brand.
3: The functionality of the car machine on the dual Bluetooth access, co-pilot screen projection, gesture operation, etc. Compared with the current dual screen or multi-screen car machine, there are some details optimization, and the car machine experience is more like a new force model, which is still very different from the traditional fuel model.
Can I experience a sense of luxury in the car?
I think Lincoln Z's understanding of luxury in the screen is to blend ritual with convenience. Convenience refers to the shortcut keys in it (the operation is somewhat similar to the side-slip shortcut button style on Samsung phones). Ritual refers to the addition of several ritualistic functions to the system (time and space secret message, comfort atmosphere, guest mode, etc.). Of course, there is also UI design, etc., which can reflect a certain sense of luxury and the difference between this car.
In the rear part, the Lincoln Z has a length of 4982mm, which should be the longest in its class, but the wheelbase is slightly shorter than the three series long wheelbase version and the C class long wheelbase version. The legroom in the rear is not much different from the three series and C-class long wheelbase versions, and the comfort of the seat has a stronger taste of American models, the filling is softer, and the wrapping is good. The materials and workmanship of the door panels, the seat part of the leather, and the workmanship can be seen in lincoln Z's sincerity.
2.0T power, 246Ps, 376N·m torque. Such power parameters are not outstanding compared to the high-power versions of the same class of Cadillac CT5, Audi A4L, BMW III series and Mercedes-Benz C-class, but this set of power is better than the standard of the whole series, and the curb weight of the whole vehicle is only 1.66 tons, which is lighter than several other competitors.
Write at the end
The price of the Lincoln Z is between 252,800 and 340,800, which is medium in the actual purchase cost compared to the second-tier luxury models. The overall luxury and sportiness of this car is also a relatively medium performance compared with other models. The highlight is that it has given a lot of experiences that have not been experienced in the past on fuel models, so that more people can feel the changes in life brought to us by technology.
