What are your impressions of American luxury? Some people think that American luxury is like The Carey, the Navigator, with a huge body, but also equipped with a large displacement of the engine, in a word, that is, where is the big. But this is an advantage, if the disadvantages may be more, such as rough design without a sense of refinement, the use of materials is a pity for the workmanship, similar small details of the problem is innumerable, so that many consumers want to love or dare not love. But everything can not be set in stone forever, can't the American car take a delicate route, can not maintain the classic and bring surprises? No, Lincoln definitely took the first step, and the new Lincoln Aviator is undoubtedly its masterpiece.
The new aviator launched in cooperation with Changan will meet the market demand as a domestic luxury medium and large SUV, and the first highlight is based on cost performance. Recently, the news of the BMW X5L listing must have been slightly heard, I thought there would be some surprises, but compared to the sincerity of the pilot, the latter in the whole series of standard 3.0T engines under the premise of the guidance price of only 509,800, that is to say, in the pursuit of too rich configuration under the premise, about 500,000 budget can meet your basic needs for face. Like the model of this real shooting as a medium version, the guidance price is 599,800 yuan, you can have a rich configuration and first-class performance experience.
First of all, let's talk about the design part, lincoln brand in the minds of most consumers should be based on luxury, after all, it was once the us president of the United States. Although the aviator is a medium-sized SUV positioning, it is also a relatively flagship model, but it still creates a rare sense of refinement in The American car as much as possible in the details, retaining the unbridled beauty of the American luxury SUV while bringing femininity. Like the front part, the mesh grille with the brand logo, and the two sides of the LED headlight group matching together is very advanced, but the real shooting model did not use the matrix LED light source some regrets, this configuration down to the middle of the model will be more sincere, fortunately in the adaptive near and far light and other practical functions are not absent.
The purpose of the BMW X5 after the domestic production is not to reduce too much price, or to meet the higher requirements of most consumers for size, and the aviator can undoubtedly easily get praise. From the data point of view, the length, width and height of 5080*2022*1759mm and the wheelbase of 3025mm are slightly better than Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and other models, which is enough to meet your space needs, and you can also feel the slender and coordinated visual effect from the side of the body. From the design of the body side, there are not too many sharp lines but outline a sharp temperament, with a 20-inch spoke wheel, not to mention the stunning effect can be worthy of its identity, higher models upgraded to 22-inch specifications.
The tail design is not complicated, the simple lines outline the visual effect of the flat and stable, and the through-line tail light group is not only the iconic design of the Lincoln brand, but also better divides the upper and lower parts of the tail and creates a better sense of layering. Of course, the tail light group design is still relatively careful, a slender LED light strip is the mainstay, supplemented by the thicker white lampshade below, and there is no need to worry about recognition after lighting. At this time, seeing the tail bilateral four-out exhaust layout is more in line with its standard 3.0T power strength.
Sitting in the car, in fact, looking at the design of BBA models, I always feel that there is no surprise, and it is quite interesting to see the new style of American luxury. The aviator adopted Lincoln's latest design ideas, the symmetrical, flat center console in the details as perfect as possible, first of all, the exquisite sense of good multi-function steering wheel, leather wrapping obviously feel good, high-end models and two-color treatment, once again to create a luxurious atmosphere. The 12.8-inch touch suspension LCD central control screen is also tailored for the Chinese market, with built-in SYNC+ Zhixing interconnection system, with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, the scientific and technological atmosphere also does not need to worry.
At the beginning, if you pay attention to the configuration, like the real shooting of this medium-equipped model can be a good need. First of all, the safety equipment of the driver assistance system, this elegant version has reached the level of L2 automatic driving, and parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, panoramic imaging and full-speed adaptive cruise have appeared. Practical functions such as electric induction trunk with position memory, keyless entry for the whole vehicle, active closed air intake grille, steering wheel heating and memory, and wireless charging of front-row mobile phones are also used, even as standard. As for the comfort configuration, the multi-directional electric adjustment of the front seats, the heating and ventilation of the front and rear seats, and the Ruiwei 14 speaker sound can well meet the quality requirements when traveling.
Let's talk about the ride experience, in addition to the lowest version of the aviator belongs to the 6-seat version, and in addition to the highest two models, you can also choose 7 seats, which is to enrich the different car needs of consumers. Taking the 6 seats of the real shooting as an example, the first two rows of seats are no problem, the shape is wide and thick, and there is a wealth of comfort function assistance, and the general family of four travel is not worse than the MPV experience. The third row of seats is still on the emergency side, although the leg and head space are slightly better than the competitors, but the long distance is a bit tiring for adults.
The last power part, this 3.0T twin-turbo engine can really be described as a face-slapping BBA, the maximum power can reach 261kW, the maximum torque is 553N·m, matching the 10AT gearbox and four-wheel drive system, it should reach the peak level of the same level. Judging from the results of multiple measurements, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is stable within 6.5 seconds, which is still the premise of a total of two people in the car, and the same level is already in the front, not to mention that the X5L and Q7 at the same price are 2.0T engines, and there is no comparison. It is worth mentioning that the new car also has a variety of driving modes, variable suspension and other functions, further meeting the high demands on handling and comfort.
Summary: So why choose aviator with a budget of 500,000-600,000? The reason is already very simple, because there are not many optional models at this price point, but there are still good product forces for the aviator, whether it is power, configuration or design, it is difficult for you to pick out hard injuries, compared to the same price BBA, or volvo and Cadillac, which belong to the second-tier luxury camp, which point is not better than the opponent? Of course, if the new car offers are still improved to a certain extent, perhaps the BBA status is also in jeopardy.
