With a budget of more than 1 million yuan, if you choose a large SUV, I believe that everyone will have a variety of different opinions and ideas, some people like mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW X7 and other Ashkenazi brands of refinement, some people like the grace and luxury of the Land Rover Range Rover, but at the same price, it seems that few people will think of the Lincoln navigator full of American style.
In fact, to talk about large SUVs, American talents are the best at, from Cadillac Careyd to Chevrolet Szaboban to Jeep Big Wagney, they can often be seen in American dramas, but in China, these big American SUV seems to be rare, and Lincoln Navigator is the only remaining American large SUV. In line with the principle of "big is good" in the country's population, we will take a look at whether the top pilot of this long-axis presidential version is good enough.
#外观: Huge size, full aura
Although you are the flagship of the brand, the previous generations of Lincoln navigators always carry some eclectic ruggedness, less exquisite than million-class luxury cars, and this generation of models makes up for this defect.
The square front of the car with the huge hollow chrome net, domineering and full of honor, not angry and arrogant powerful aura definitely has a good deterrent, and the Lincoln LOGO in the middle can be lit at night. However, it is precisely because the front of the car is too large, so in comparison, the area occupied by the headlights on both sides is not enough weight, and the daytime running lights in the shape of hockey clubs are more conventional, and more still retain a dignified atmosphere.
Of course, in addition to the majestic front face, the Lincoln Navigator's wall-like side is also full of oppression. The ordinary version of the Navigator's 5.3 meters body length is exaggerated enough, and this long-axis presidential version has reached nearly 5.7 meters, coupled with a wheelbase of 3.3 meters and a height of nearly 2 meters, such a huge volume does not say anything about the Range Rover, even Rolls-Royce Currinan has to stand on the side, perhaps only the long-wheelbase Cadillac Kered can fight with one. However, considering that the new Careyd has not entered the domestic market, this long-axis presidential version of the Navigator will be the largest SUV model that can be bought in China at present.
The design of the suspension roof makes the navigator's side not look too stiff and rigid, and the 22-inch large wheel rim is just right on it, accompanied by oversized exterior mirrors, which is very intimate and brings a strong sense of security. In addition, the electric pedal configuration is also a necessity for the navigator, otherwise it is really difficult to get on and off the car. Oh yes, to add a cold knowledge, this behemoth only needs to add No. 92 gasoline, but even so, it costs nearly 900 yuan to fill a 105-liter fuel tank.
Compared with the gorgeous front, the tail of the Lincoln Navigator is slightly monotonous, continuing the through-line light group of the previous generation model, and the overall shape is reversed, without much intention, and at first glance it looks a bit stunned. In addition, considering that the tailgate area is too large and inconvenient to open in a narrow space, the pilot's rear window glass can be opened separately, providing more convenience.
#内饰: Classical American luxury
Looking for an authentic taste of American luxury? Pull open the door of the Lincoln Navigator' car. It has to be said that with the increasingly "Germanization" of Cadillac's interior, Lincoln's unique American luxury has become one of the few choices on the market, and the navigator as a flagship has played this essence to the extreme.
The 2073mm body width provides designers with more imagination space, the towering and layered center console is all covered in leather, the extremely wide central armrest even makes me feel for the first time that the distance between the main and co-pilots will be so far, and the blue interior color scheme also echoes the Fan Hai blue car paint, which is elegant and noble, and also gives the navigator more youthful atmosphere.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument is completely covered by the upper brim, so the anti-reflection effect is very good, with the HUD head-up display shows a very intuitive driving information, but the middle 10-inch suspension central control screen is placed in such a large carriage is somewhat small, and the large black edges on both sides of the screen are indeed a bit outdated from the perspective of 2022, fortunately, the built-in third-generation SYNC multimedia entertainment system, so common functions such as Bluetooth connection are also quite easy to use.
As a model priced at 1.3 million yuan, the configuration is naturally not to worry, not only the electric adjustment of the steering wheel with heating function, and even the throttle brake pedal supports front and rear electric adjustment, is it not unusual? In addition, a large number of physical buttons on the navigator's center console are deeply rooted in my heart, and the operation is quite convenient, but the texture of the buttons and knobs is not as meticulous and slightly rough as that of the Ashkenazi opponents. Oh yes, the Lincoln Navigator's door handle is also very interesting, the movement when opening the door is very natural and smooth, so that the humanized design can be delegated to other models.
Of course, the most powerful thing in the front row of the navigator has to be the seat. Generally we often say that a certain model supports 8-way / 10-way electric adjustment, and the pilot's main passenger seat provides 30-way electric adjustment, no matter what body type you are, you can definitely find a most suitable sitting posture, soft wrapping and seat massage, sitting on the navigator's seat is really a pleasure.
Although the car is called the long-axis presidential version, in fact, the second row of passengers does not have too high treatment, the two-seat administrative layout looks more noble, but the manually adjusted seats are obviously not as advanced as the front row, and the right rear seat provides a boss button, which can further expand the space. The two LCD screens do not support touch screens, and the interface looks full of age, but the second row of independent air conditioning, seat heating and multimedia control are still available.
As for space, thanks to its huge size, this long-axis version of the navigator will surely exceed your expectations. Due to the very high front seat of the navigator, even if the seat is adjusted to the lowest, the head allowance of the 176cm experiencer is only one punch and two fingers, which is not excessive.
Keep the front seat unchanged to the second row, the head space remains about one punch, the front seat is close to three punches when the leg is close to the back, and the third row passenger's leg remains four fingers.
When the third row has the need to sit people, the second row of seats forward, two or three rows can get two fists of leg space, and the support of the third row of seats is much better than other 7-seat SUVs on the market, basically reaching the level of many MPV third row, in addition to the backrest also supports electric adjustment, service in place.
The most shocking thing is the pilot's trunk, even if the three rows of seats are open, the depth of the trunk can exceed the general compact SUV, and when the two or three rows of seats are down, the trunk capacity of the long-axis version of the navigator is against the sky, the flat floor and the regular space is simply a proper small van. Of course, in the trunk, you can also control the reclining of the second and third rows of seats and the expansion of the third row of seats.
#动态: Best for high-speed cruises
Even if the interior and exterior decoration of this generation of Lincoln Navigators is much more gorgeous, the same platform as the Ford F-150 pickup truck can still not be ignored, which also has a great impact on its dynamic driving. In terms of power, the Lincoln Navigator is equipped with a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine with a maximum power of 388 horsepower, a peak torque of 680 Nm, a transmission system matching a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a timely four-wheel drive system with a multi-plate clutch structure.
Although it is only a V6 engine, but such a power level to promote this long-axis version of the navigator has no problem, more than 6 seconds of 100 km acceleration can even bring a sense of push back, and this flood beast-like acceleration is the average car and SUV can not give you, as if there is a huge hand behind you, full of confidence. As for this 10AT gearbox, perhaps the gear ratio is dense enough, so it is very well done in terms of smoothness.
If your driving style is more aggressive, it is not difficult to find that the pilot's power response is slower, and the throttle pedal has to wait more than a second to react. I believe this should be related to the gearbox shift logic, but more likely to take into account its positioning, after all, the navigator is a non-carrier body structure, if the throttle is too sensitive, the front and rear pitch of the body will be further aggravated, which is bound to affect comfort.
Also limited by the more rigid chassis structure, the pilot's performance in terms of seismic filtration is also somewhat imperfect. Due to the lack of air suspension, the chassis is obviously not soft enough for vibration filtration, coupled with the high height, the separation of the body and the chassis is also more serious, less than the calm and stability that million-level luxury cars should have. However, considering the long enough suspension trip and good sound insulation, the navigator drives a lot like a luxury yacht, which is very suitable for cruising at high speed, which is quite pleasant.
Conclusion: Tired of seeing the Road Rover range Rover and Mercedes-Benz GLS all over the road, the unique Lincoln navigator can indeed make people shine, aside from the configuration of power functionality, in fact, the biggest selling point of the navigator is the domineering appearance and exaggerated body shape, open it to see customers, the boss can not add a little confidence when talking about business. What, you say this car is too big to park? Sorry, for the pilot's target user, this is the driver's business.
