I don't know when more and more car brands began to abandon the hardcore route in design, which disappointed many consumers. And there are not a few models like this, and they are all extremely classic, such as the Mercedes-Benz GLK, Land Rover Discovery and even the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which have gradually lost themselves. So today we found one of the purest cars from the many SUV models currently on sale, and when you see it, you feel a strong male hormone, which is the Lincoln Navigator, an American favorite SUV model.
And to talk about the history of this full-size SUV, it has to start from 1997, which may also be the birth time of many young readers. After the advent of the navigator is undoubtedly the world's first full-size luxury SUV, it uses a chassis structure similar to the Ford F-150, equipped with a 5.4L V8 engine + 4-speed automatic transmission, which can be described as the top equipment in the automotive industry. In 2003, we saw the second generation of models, the appearance of the interior is slightly changed, but the power remains unchanged, just upgrade the more advanced 6-speed automatic transmission, so don't think that the 6AT is still a highlight at the moment. The third generation came faster, and in 2007, we met again, launched an extended wheelbase version, and the interior and exterior design was also greatly changed.
But no matter which version of these three generations, you will only find domineering in the navigator, including the late launch of the redesigned version by Lincoln in 2015, which is a flat line outline of the body, and the interior shape is formal. However, for consumers, this domineering SUV is only left to be domineering, in the face of Lexus LX570 and Careyd two direct competitors, the lack of luxury makes it lose most of the market, so Lincoln once again brings a new generation of navigators, that is, the model we see so far. According to the latest news we got from Lincoln officials a few days ago, the new car has once again completed the modification, but considering that it has not yet been listed, it is still mainly on sale today.
Let's take a look at the design part, I think most readers are not unfamiliar with the current generation of navigators on sale, occasionally can see its figure on the street, or a strong American SUV style, all of which highlight the big, imposing, BMW X7 is not rut. Like the front part, belongs to the Lincoln brand's latest family design concept, the oversized integrated grille interior also adopts a mesh structure, the sense of refinement is greatly improved compared to the old model, but it is a pity that after the introduction of the domestic new car canceled the logo at night with breathing light effect configuration, otherwise the luxurious atmosphere and recognition will be higher. And the two sides of the headlight group modeling also has no slot point, the full LED light source will naturally not be lacking, two parallel LED light strips also have a very good recognition after lighting, including adaptive far and near light, follow-up steering and other functions have also appeared.
As a real "big fast head" SUV, and from the data point of view, 5355 * 2073 * 1937mm of length, width and height and 3112mm wheelbase is still only the standard axle version, if you choose the long shaft version, its length came to 5657mm, the wheelbase reached 3342mm, try to ask the currently on the market on the sale of the model, who can compare with it? Looks even more domineering than Cullinan. So in the minds of many people, this is the benchmark for million-level SUVs, because it is big enough and hard enough! And from the side tail design, it is also true, like the body line or straight treatment, the standard 22-inch wheel is also in line with its figure, equipped with the classic through-the tail light group design at the end, the luxurious atmosphere does not need to worry.
Entering the car, I don't know your impression of the past American SUV, I can only say that the navigator's replacement this time is indeed impressive. For example, the center console can see a large size suspension LCD screen, creating a good sense of technology, and the piano button gear shift mechanism and paint panel, but also effectively enhance the sense of refinement and luxury atmosphere, including leather, wood grain and other material applications in other parts of the center console, saying that it is a million-level SUV without any problem. It is worth mentioning that the presidential version of the model also provides a unique color matching to enhance the more luxurious driving atmosphere, but as far as the current official configuration is concerned, the functions of the whole series of models are basically the same, and the minimum configuration also has the most advanced functions at present.
The space part is not much to say, this size is said to be 2 + 2 + 3 seat layout can be satisfied, even if there is a fourth row I think I can have a quite abundant ride. And the power part is also quite excellent, this 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine, the maximum power of 285kW, the maximum torque of up to 680N·m, and then matched with the 10AT gearbox, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is about 6 seconds, which is very rare for a full-size SUV weighing more than 2.8 tons, and the gearbox performance is quite excellent, the enthusiasm for shifting, the smoothness has no slots, and even we have opened a 13L urban comprehensive fuel consumption.
Summary: When you spend more than a million dollars on a car, what's the key? Not only is its power, configuration and space excellent, but most importantly, the return rate, how to make people who do not understand the car can also feel that it is not cheap? Obviously the navigator did it, no one can ignore its hardcore, no one will suspect that the person driving it is not ordinary.
