On April 21, Lincoln's new all-electric concept car, the Lincoln Star, made its world premiere. The production version of this concept car will be the lincoln brand's first pure electric model, positioned as a mid-size SUV, and the production version will be officially released as soon as this year.
Lincoln Star as the brand's first pure electric concept car, its overall shape is very sci-fi, Lincoln will deliver three new pure electric vehicles by 2025, the fourth will be delivered by the end of 2026, and the Star concept car hints that we can expect the design and details of these electric vehicles.
The concept car is Lincoln's first attempt to fully embrace electrification, and it is also a presentation of lincoln brand design DNA 2.0, which is more cohesive than the products we have seen many competitors in the past few months, and the online launch also put a lot of emphasis on the comfort of the interior, which Luo Yonghao hinted at in a recent interview.
Let's look at the appearance, the entire front of the car is centered on the Lincoln standard, and the lights are no longer limited to the traditional style, but let the entire central network become lightable, and there is a lidar-like design above the front. The roof line extends diagonally backwards, and the side is not equipped with door handles or traditional exterior mirrors, making the overall appearance of the vehicle more technological. The rear design echoes the front of the car, and the light group is also designed above the wheel brow, which uses a large area of transparent side columns to allow more light to enter the car, and the roof also adopts a large area of color-changing panoramic canopy.
The interior design is equally sci-fi, with the Star Concept's front and rear seat areas divided by color, and the rear seats, themed around the wrap-around shape and separate leg rest, in favor of the VIP lounge. There's even a drink cooler in the rear seat, and a huge panoramic suspension screen in front includes not only the infotainment system, but also the driver information display.
It's not just about styling inside or outside, though, the Lincoln Star has some cool tricks, with the vehicle interior introducing an expandable cockpit architecture that offers three rejuvenating modes called Reactive moods that control the sound, fragrance and interior lighting throughout the cockpit.
At the heart of the spacious interior is the brand's electric architecture, which allows designers to use space above the battery pack itself with more imagination and fun. According to Lincoln, the architecture uses rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is consistent with Ford vehicles.
It is reported that the Lincoln Star's mass production version is expected to be officially released as soon as this year, and is expected to be the first to be listed in overseas markets at the end of this year.
