Looking to buy a luxury brand midsize SUV? BBA may be an infallible option, but it's not for everyone. Compared with the BBA products of the same class, this Lincoln Navigator is not only a higher level in terms of power specifications, but also more attractive in terms of price. 2021 2.0T two-wheel drive Premium Edition as the most entry-level model in the whole series, the official guidance price is only 328,800 yuan, is it worth getting started?
In terms of appearance, this navigator has a full "Lincoln" style, even the entry-level model is no exception. Chrome mesh has a high degree of recognition, the overall shape is atmospheric and noble, showing an American luxury style. Compared with the high-end model, the difference in appearance of the entry-level model is mainly reflected in the rim and the lack of details such as front fog lights.
The light cluster adopts a full LED light source, and the matrix LED headlights are exclusive to the 2.7T model. In terms of functions, the entry-level model is equipped with automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, headlight height adjustment and other functions, compared with high-end models, reducing the function of adaptive far and near light, and overall harmless. The exterior mirror supports electric folding, automatic folding of the lock car, rearview mirror memory, rearview mirror heating, automatic anti-glare and other functions, nothing to be picky about.
The shape of the rim is very beautiful, but the size is slightly smaller, only 18 inches, which affects the appearance of the whole vehicle to a certain extent; in the high-end model, it is equipped with 20 inches or 21 inches of wheels, and the visual effect is much better. In terms of tires, it is equipped with Michelin Primacy series tires, which focus on silent comfort and specifications of 245/60 R18.
Length, width and height: 4849/1934/1693mm
Wheelbase: 2850mm
The tail shape is very heavy, with a double double chrome exhaust port, the momentum will come up at once, making it difficult to identify the identity of the entry model at a glance. In terms of configuration, the entry-level model is equipped with front/rear parking radar and reversing images, and the 360-degree panoramic imaging system is only available on the 2.7T model.
The overall layout of the interior cockpit is basically the same as that of the high-end model, and the difference mainly reflects the difference in the interior color and the seat material. The entry-level model only offers a pure black interior color scheme, and the luxury in the cabin is slightly inferior to that of the high-end model.
The 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and the 12.8-inch central control screen are all standard in the series, and the central control screen is consistent with the high-end models in terms of display effect and functionality, supporting navigation, voice recognition, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, etc., which is more than enough to meet daily use.
On entry-level models, the seats are wrapped in imitation leather fabrics, while on high-end models, more advanced leather materials are used. In terms of configuration, the front seats support 10-way electric adjustment (including lumbar support adjustment) and the front seat heating function. Compared with high-end models, although it lacks comfort features such as front seat ventilation, overall, its configuration performance is in line with the level that models in the same class should have.
In terms of power, the 2021 2.0T two-wheel drive Prestige Edition is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 245 horsepower and a maximum torque of 390 Nm, with beautiful power parameters and can also use No. 92 gasoline. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by an 8-speed automatic transmission. It is worth saying that the two-wheel drive premium version is the only model in the whole series that is not equipped with a four-wheel drive system, and it is recommended to consider carefully for users who need to often walk non-paved roads or have more snow seasons.
Write at the end:
Compared with its opponents in the same class, the Navigator's advantage is not only higher power specifications and more attractive selling price, but also slightly better in configuration. Even if it is an entry-level model (2021 2.0T two-wheel drive Premium Edition), its configuration level is still very high and completely satisfactory.
2021 2.0T 4WD Premium Edition
Official guidance price: 348,800 yuan
Of course, if your car purchase budget is not so tight, I recommend you to choose the next lowest-end model (2021 2.0T 4WD Premium Edition). For an extra 20,000 yuan, I can buy a four-wheel drive system, leather seats, 20-inch rims and many other configurations, which I think is more cost-effective.
