As we all know, in about 400,000 luxury mid-size SUVs, the BBA has always received the most attention, from January to September this year, the total sales of BMW X3, Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GLC were 103916, 98131 and 94455 units, respectively, with an average of about 10,000 units sold every month, which is enough to make other competitors envious. In addition to the BBA, the sales of the Cadillac XT5 and Volvo XC60 in the same level have also been good, mainly because the two preferential treatment is larger, the same configuration, power can be tens of thousands of dollars less than the BBA, it is a small amount of money to do big things, but in September, there is another car that has sprung up, leaving the Cadillac XT5 and Volvo XC60 behind, it is the Lincoln Navigator.
As a traditional American luxury car brand, once Lincoln's models are introduced to the country in a pure import way, so that it has no advantage in terms of price, but in the past two years, Lincoln suddenly opened up, began to abandon the sedan focus on SUVs, and the implementation of localization, currently has three models have achieved domestic production, namely adventurers, navigators and aviators, of which the navigator's positioning and BMW X3, Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GLC, are medium-sized SUVs, However, after the domestic production, its price threshold is relatively low, as long as it starts at 32.88W, so even if it does not consider the discount, the price of this car is very competitive.
From the appearance point of view, the overall style of the Lincoln Navigator has this level of SUV should have the calm and atmosphere, the front face using a family rounded rectangular grille with the Xinghui type middle net, the shape of the two headlight groups is very simple, a bit of "Dan Phoenix Eye" taste, not only the whole series of standard LED light source, automatic headlights and headlights delayed off, in the two high-end models also give matrix headlights, the sense of science and technology is created in place.
From the side, the overall body posture is not bloated, the waist line uses a segmented design to highlight the three-dimensional sense, the picture of this 2.0T four-wheel drive premium version belongs to the sub-low version, equipped with 20-inch rims, it looks very coordinated, if it is a high-end model, it is equipped with 21-inch big feet, the visual proportion is more atmospheric. In the rear part of the car, the current very popular through taillights were originally first applied and promoted by Lincoln, which has a high degree of recognition after being lit at night, and the large area of black at the bottom with silver skid plates, coupled with bilateral exhaust ports, makes this car look more wild and sporty.
Coming to the car, in fact, I personally for the Lincoln Navigator's interior is not particularly satisfied, although its materials are more elaborate, the car uses a lot of leather packages, and with wood grain trim panels and piano paint panels, the workmanship is also more exquisite than the previous American cars, but the middle of a 12.8-inch suspension LCD screen is too abrupt, and even affects the overall beauty, and the luxurious atmosphere of the entire interior is not thick, which shows that Lincoln's skills in design are still better than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi these German luxury brands are a bit off, I believe that many people are dissuaded by the navigator's interior, otherwise its sales can be better.
In the configuration part, we all know that BBA is more stingy, many configurations in the low and medium-sized models need to be optional, and Lincoln Navigator is obviously thicker, like front and rear radar, reversing image, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, keyless start, full car keyless entry, remote start, leather steering wheel, mobile phone wireless charging, seat power adjustment, seat heating, seat memory, rearview mirror heating, rearview mirror lock car automatic folding, induction wipers, automatic partition air conditioning, car air purifier, The commonly used functions of the PM2.5 filter device in the car are standard throughout the series, which is very convenient to use.
At this level, space is not the most concerned issue for users, otherwise the sales of BMW X3 cannot be better than Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5L, and everyone is more concerned about the power, handling and comfort of the vehicle. Lincoln Navigator provides 2.0T and 2.7T two kinds of power, of which the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 245 hp, the maximum torque is 390 Nm, matching the 8-speed automatic transmission, the maximum power of the 2.7T V6 twin-turbo engine reaches 322 hp, the maximum torque is 500 Nm, matching the 8-speed manual automatic transmission, the power of this piece can be said to be unable to fault anything, as for the control, to be honest, it is not the Navigator's strength.
In terms of comfort, Lincoln Navigator is still relatively outstanding, first of all, it is equipped with active noise reduction and multi-layer soundproof glass of the whole car, the car is very quiet during the driving process, closing the window can isolate the noise very well, and secondly, its seat filling is relatively soft, the wrapping is also very good, sitting on it has a feeling of an American large sofa, and then there is a chassis suspension The overall filter performance is very good, the fine vibration on the road surface can be filtered out, and it can be easily resolved when facing speed bumps or large potholes. The four-wheel drive system is also very stable at high speed, and the chassis sense of premium is not even compared with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.
In summary, it is not difficult to see that the Lincoln Navigator is indeed a more powerful player, in addition to the interior there is a certain controversy, other aspects of the performance are remarkable, of course, on the brand influence Lincoln must not be as good as BBA, and the current distribution system in various regions is not very perfect, like the achievement of the editor can not find Lincoln dealership, which also affected its sales, but in any case, the Navigator is still a model worth considering, what do you think?
