Missing the Chinese market in the early years was one of the biggest wrong decisions since the birth of Lincoln Motors, although it came relatively early, but the model was expensive and greasy, and it did not meet the tastes and needs of Chinese consumers at that time, so it could only leave the market. But in 2019, Lincoln finally faced his own problems, successively launched navigators, aviators and adventurers, have achieved a good market reputation, this year's listing of the new Lincoln Z, so that Lincoln in the car market has a battle.
From the perspective of luxury cars, Lincoln Z is not expensive to sell, the guidance price of 25.28-34.08 million yuan, giving us 7 models to choose from, the price is only on the one hand, on the other hand, its product power is also enough to afford the word "luxury".
In terms of design, Lincoln Z is different from the family SUV model, the front bar of the iku series adopts a sporty design style, which is in line with the mainstream aesthetic trend, and the wide middle net is full of stars design. Lincoln Z's light set is also very designed, the light strip connecting the headlights and the car logo can also be lit, and the details are still very textured. The Lincoln Z i Edition canceled the sports kit, but it didn't look old-fashioned.
Lincoln Z body size is 4982 * 1865 * 1485mm, longer than competitors such as BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4L, close to 5 meters of body with a sneaky design, so it looks not only slender and dynamic, in addition to i Cool Premium Edition and Premium Edition is 18-inch wheels, the other 5 models are 19-inch wheels, with red calipers, the side of the car has both fashion elements and sports elements, then say that now Lincoln car in the design has indeed changed its bones, It doesn't feel greasy or dull anymore.
Entering the carriage of Lincoln Z, it is estimated that you will be the same as me, first of all, sigh this 27-inch large screen, seamlessly connected with the 12.3-inch LCD dashboard, so that the entire central control area presents a strong sense of technology, this central control screen is not only large, but also uses 4K high resolution, whether it is imaging effect or touch fluency, people feel very comfortable. Lincoln Z is fully made of leather materials, and the luxurious atmosphere in the carriage is very good, and it is impossible to find a little low-grade imitation leather material.
The content in the central control screen is also very rich, commonly used entertainment, communication and other software can be found, but there is a problem, that is, it will display some driver assistance, navigation and other interfaces in full screen, although it looks very shocking, but it greatly distracts the driver's attention, is this really good?
Lincoln Z configuration is also rich enough, in addition to i Cool Honor Edition, parallel line assist, lane assist, lane departure warning, active braking and other safety systems, as well as front seat heating, ventilation system to the configuration, from 299,800 yuan i Cool Zun Ya version, 360 degree panoramic image, full speed adaptive cruise, mobile phone wireless charging and other configurations, of course, I personally prefer to recommend Lincoln Z i Cool Honor Edition, because there is a HUD display and 13 speakers of the Ruiwei audio, which is a great two configurations, The former makes driving easier, while the latter makes the whole car more comfortable.
On the power system, the Lincoln Z standard 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 246 hp, a peak torque of 376 Nm, a transmission part of an 8-speed manual transmission, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers given by the manufacturer is 6.8 seconds. I also test-drove it myself, probably because of the environment, the 100-kilometer acceleration did not reach this level, but it was still very fast. However, Lincoln Z does not have the same dynamic as the appearance in the driving texture, its chassis is very softly tuned (front McPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension), even in the sport mode, can not find the kind of chicken blood like excitement and toughness, is soft and comfortable, driving this car is very suitable for wearing a suit, leisurely driving on the city road, want passion or look at its hometown Cadillac CT5.
Although the wheelbase of lincoln Z reached 2930mm, but the interior space did not meet expectations, or did not significantly exceed the Audi A4L and BMW 3 series long axle version, a large reason is that its seat design is relatively wider and thicker, so the ride comfort is still very luxurious, in addition, the quietness in the cabin is also very good, after all, there is an active noise reduction system blessing.
Editor's Note:
Although luxury cars often do not talk about cost performance, but horizontal comparison bmw 3 series, Mercedes-Benz C-class and other competitors, in the competition of the same price range models, especially for BMW 320, 325, Audi A4L TFSI 35, 40 and other models, Lincoln Z in terms of power, configuration and materials, etc., have a higher cost performance, is about 300,000 levels, more worth recommending cost-effective luxury cars.
