As a U.S. luxury brand with a long history, Lincoln's insight into the Chinese market and its importance are absolutely very high. As Lincoln's first Chinese "smart" model, lincoln adventurer (picture| configuration | inquiry) Corsair has been popular with its "Howe" uncompromising product power since its listing. Today, the Adventurer has become Lincoln's best-selling model in China, and with the advent of new models, we were able to experience the multiple configuration levels of the modified model for the first time at Lincoln's test drive in Suzhou.
Configuration level
In this mid-term redesign, Lincoln brought three sub-versions of the Adventurer series, namely the fuel-driven Adventurer, the Adventurer MONO Limited Edition, and the Adventurer PHEV with plug-in hybrid technology. The official price of the entire series covers the range of 246,800 to 345,800, benchmarking other luxury brand compact SUVs such as Bao X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Audi Q3 and Cadillac XT4.
Among them, the fuel version of the Lincoln Adventurer uses a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with an 8AT gearbox, regardless of high and low power, and the maximum power of 180kW is ahead of most competitors in the book data. The PHEV version is equipped with dual front and rear permanent magnet synchronous motors and a 1.5T engine to achieve a maximum power of 203 kW.
The "MONO Limited Edition" in the fuel version is a special configuration level that accompanies the release of this redesign, including the front grille, front and rear and lower brackets, all of which are covered by MONO white paint, while the 19-inch rim is painted in bright black, which contrasts with the body color; the seats in the "limited edition" also use the limited edition unique Savannah semi-aniline premium leather, and support heating and passing.
Static experience
At the test drive, I focused on the LINCOLN Adventurer MONO Limited Edition. Not only does the seat cover a different surface cortical than the low-end type, but its padding is also different from other types – the MONO Limited Edition rides with a more supportive feel. The front seats of the entire front seat are comfortable to ride, and the model design of the backrest and cushion of the front seat is better, and the support can be relatively comprehensive from the shoulder down.
Lincoln Adventurer MONO Limited Edition uses an exclusive Topa Blue cabin interior color scheme, while providing a lot of luxury and human configuration, such as a variety of flavors of original fragrance, heated seats, comfortable access, remote start, multi-color mood lights, and so on, bringing a lot of details of the "sense of luxury", which is also one of the differences between luxury brands and most ordinary brands.
In addition, the ergonomic design of the front row is also more reasonable: the adjustable cushion tilt ensures that the entire thigh is well supported and makes the experience of operating the pedal easier; the steering wheel dispatch range is also completely sufficient, and it is easier to find a comfortable driving position.
The Lincoln Adventurer comes with a 12.8-inch oversized HD touchscreen, which also brings a larger display area. The third generation of Lincoln SYNC+ Zhixing Interconnection System⻋machine UI did not arrange more and more compact content on the big screen, but chose the design of large buttons, large controls, and large blank spaces, and added a large area of detection sliding operation in many places in the global area, and the global frame rate can basically reach 60fps, and the operation sliding experience is smooth.
Here, it is necessary to give the Lincoln Adventurer a good review of the UI design ideas of the machine. Making the button controls larger, giving more white space between the controls, and adding large areas of fuzzy touch detection are all very friendly designs for the efficiency of performing "effective operations" while driving the gap debris time. This "direction-oriented" UI design idea alone is very worthy of learning from many enterprises that claim to attach importance to "intelligence".
Dynamic performance
The Lincoln Adventurer MONO Edition, like the other fuel edition configuration classes, features an 180kW 2.0T engine with an 8AT transmission. If you break a foot of floor oil on the ⻓ straight, release all of its power reserves, which can give you a lot of "fast and furious".
The performance of the steering feel is relatively good, its damping and returning torque have a relatively linear gain with speed, low speed light, high speed sinking, daily control is quite handy.
As a compact SUV, the Lincoln Adventurer's suspension travel is "more" than the car, but that doesn't mean it will make you feel uneasy while driving. Whether it is a fast line or a faster bend on the highway, the suspension of the " shows a better sense of lateral support; in the face of road defects and speed bumps and other large vibrations, it also shows strong toughness, and there is almost no aftershock after the big vibration - but the suspension damping is harder, and the structural sense of vibration transmitted from the road surface to the "" is clearly recognizable, and this tuning orientation is more "sporty" from the perspective of secular concepts.
At the same time, I also drove the PHEV version of the Lincoln Adventurer over a short distance at the test drive. The daily smooth performance of the "oil version" is even better than the fuel version, the power release corresponding to the oil pedal stroke is more linear, and the switching of the hybrid mode is smoother and more insensitive.
summary
After just one daytime experience, I hurriedly parted ways with a few revamped Lincoln adventurers. Although the time is short, these ⻋ also impressed me - in the face of several competitors from luxury brands in the same class, adventurers show a good overall competitiveness, but also more attractive to young users who like to drive. The "personality" of lincoln adventurers is obviously very good for the "taste" of the target consumer. In fact, the more strong competitors in the market, the more it can motivate other manufacturers in the industry to continue to improve and make better ⻋.
