Lincoln as a U.S. luxury brand, before the domestic, sales have been relatively bleak, giving people a feeling of high or low, but since the localization of Lincoln Adventurer two years ago, its sales have made a major breakthrough, and now more and more of its products have been localized, including navigators, aviators and Lincoln Z. Recently, the Lincoln Navigator ushered in a mid-term redesign and will be officially launched on April 15.
Lincoln Navigator is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a body length, width and height of 4849 * 1934 * 1693 (mm), which looks more atmospheric. The front face has distinct family characteristics, the side adopts a two-segment waist line, and is equipped with large-size sports wheels, while the rear of the car has always adopted the family's more classic through-type taillights, and the appearance of the whole car looks more calm and atmospheric.
Since the localization of Lincoln, the improvement of its interior is more obvious, on the basis of retaining its own unique style, in order to further cater to domestic consumers, abandoning the more rugged interior style of American cars, and now has begun to pay attention to details. The suspension type of central control large screen and the full LCD dashboard create a better sense of scientific and technological atmosphere, while the interior materials of the vehicle are relatively solid, the steering wheel and seats are wrapped in leather, and the interior quality of the whole vehicle is better. However, in terms of workmanship, it still needs to be further improved, and the seams in some places are still somewhat thick and thin.
Lincoln Navigator has a wheelbase of 2850mm, its front and rear space performance are relatively generous, height 177cm, the front row head space is about 1 punch and 1 finger, the rear position of the head is about 4 fingers, the leg remaining 2 punches a little more, in line with the performance of a medium-sized SUV. In addition, the car has wide seats, the rear row also supports backrest adjustment, and it has a better driving experience for long distances and short distances. In addition, the rear seats support proportional reclining and the flexibility of the trunk space is excellent.
Lincoln Navigator gives a relatively rich basic configuration, the whole series is equipped with open panoramic sunroof, front and rear radar, electric trunk, full vehicle keyless entry, active closed air intake grille, full LCD dashboard, active noise reduction, internal rearview mirror automatic anti-glare, rear side privacy glass and other configurations. The mid-to-high model is also equipped with suspension soft and hard adjustment, automatic parking, steering wheel heating and memory, Ruiwei speakers and other configurations, which are relatively excellent configurations at this price point, and the new models are expected to continue to be equipped with these configurations.
The new Lincoln Navigator model will be equipped with a 2.7T displacement V6 engine, and the power output will be the same as that of the current 2.7T model on sale, with a maximum horsepower of 322Ps and a maximum torque of 500 N·m. Its power output point is mainly focused on the middle and rear section, the front section output is more stable, and after entering the middle section, the power is more surging and the rear section acceleration still maintains a strong output, and the power reserve is relatively abundant, which is also the advantage of the large displacement engine. But the disadvantages are also more obvious, the car's fuel consumption is also relatively high, although the official gives the 2.7T version of the NEDC fuel consumption of 9.6L, but the actual driving consumption of fuel is far more than this, generally will remain at about 13L, if the road conditions are congested, it may be above 15L. In addition, the vehicle will be equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, using a front-mounted timely four-wheel drive, the gearbox shift smoothness is good, although the four-wheel drive performance can not be compared to some hard-core SUVs, but compared to ordinary family models, its passability is still relatively strong.
summary:
Lincoln Navigator has its own unique design style, and after domestic production, it has also moved closer to the preferences of domestic consumers in more places. At present, the market feedback obtained is relatively good, and the sales volume is relatively stable, while the vehicle still retains the large displacement model, providing consumers with more choice. Judging from the current performance of the Lincoln Navigator, there will be a certain market competitiveness after the new model is listed, but under the pressure of BBA, the market influence of this car in China cannot be enhanced by an outbreak, even with the help of the 2.7T V6 engine, it cannot become its killer.
