The 8-speed automatic transmission is still the unique shift button design of the Lincoln model, and if you make contact with it for the first time, you should look for it carefully, and it is quite smooth for the operation after getting familiar with it.
The power performance is quite active, the output response is crisp enough, the strength is immediately into the state, and the starting action is very neat. The texture of the power output is also great, the solid force is very coherent, it feels like it is ready to explode at any time, and it does not give a chance to question its undertones. Deep on the throttle, the time to really need to erupt has arrived, the fierce impact is indeed not absent, and the momentum is like a rainbow, the speed continues to go up, still showing excitement.

There is no problem with the logic of the lift and lower gear, and the overall performance is obedient.

However, after some small road bumps, the suspension is handled a little bit of mud and water at this time, a little excess vibration, and the top four-wheel drive premium version with CDC adaptive suspension system can adjust the degree of suspension softness and hardness.
The Adventurer only has two models, the 4WD Zunya Edition and the Zun Yao Edition, with a 4WD system, which, like for The Ford Ruiji, is a separable timely 4WD.

2022 Adventurer 2.0T Two-Wheel Drive Premium Edition, Manufacturer Guidance Price: 259,800 yuan.
As the two-wheel drive privilege version of the whole series, as far as the overall configuration is concerned, compared to the same level of opponents is not low, to cope with the daily life use scenarios are enough, including keyless entry + keyless start, knee airbags, electric seats + seat heating, full LCD dashboard, 12.8-inch central control touch screen are all provided, the overall configuration is still very sufficient, the fly in the ointment is that this car is no panoramic sunroof, only it is not equipped in the whole series, it is the biggest short board, after all, for many friends, The sunroof is also a difficult configuration to choose.
The two-wheel drive premium version is 13,000 yuan more expensive than the premium version, and the practical configuration is not less, first of all, there is a panoramic sunroof, followed by the front seats are equipped with heating and ventilation, in addition, the steering wheel also has a heating function, and the addition of the atmosphere lights also adds a lot of grades to the car; in terms of cost performance alone, the two-wheel drive premium version is quite recommended.
2022 Adventurer 2.0T Two-Wheel Drive Zun Ya Edition, Manufacturer Guidance Price: 279,800 yuan.
2022 Adventurer 2.0T Two-Wheel Drive MONO Limited Edition, Manufacturer Guidance Price: 289,800 yuan.

The two-wheel drive MONO limited edition is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive Zunya edition, and the two cars are consistent in the configuration level, mainly because the former adopts an exclusive appearance and interior style, which is more visually younger; because it is only a limited edition sale, there may be no existing car in some market terminals.
2022 Adventurer 2.0T 4WD Zunya Edition, manufacturer guidance price: 302,800 yuan.
The overall configuration of the four-wheel drive Zunya version is consistent with the two-wheel drive Zunya version model, and the extra 23,000 yuan can basically be understood as buying more sets of four-wheel drive systems, which have a certain ability to get rid of difficulties, but more are safer in the process of driving on low-adhesion paved roads such as rain and snow; if you particularly want four-wheel drive, it is good to choose it, if you do not particularly want four-wheel drive models, the two-wheel drive Zunya version is enough for daily use.
2022 Adventurer 2.0T Four-Wheel Drive Premium Edition, Manufacturer Guidance Price: 345,800 yuan.
As the four-wheel drive Zunya version of the top of the whole series, it is 43,000 yuan more expensive than the second top four-wheel drive Zunya version, equipped with matrix headlights with higher appearance, and the rim has also been upgraded to 20 inches, which can be seen from the appearance of the difference with other models. The upgrade of the interior configuration is the icing on the cake, basically the top of the many optional configurations, such as steering wheel memory, head-up display, rear seat heating, and the top of the "exclusive" configuration of the full sense of privilege seat, which will not appear on other models, and the optional equipment cannot be selected. If you have a sufficient budget to buy a car, and you like the adventurer model very much, the top four-wheel drive Zunya version is a one-step choice, but the price of 345,800 yuan is destined to be suitable for only a small number of consumers.
summary:
In the face of the current increasingly competitive SUV market, as well as a number of strong veteran opponents, the later Changan Lincoln adventurers, in the period after the advent, can achieve such results, enough to see its good strength. Overall, it is a good home high-end SUV, looking flat and stable, the texture inside is good, and it is a very safe choice. On the whole, the most recommended is the two-wheel drive premium version, the configuration is very reasonable, considering its pricing of less than 260,000 (there will definitely be discounts in the future), the cost performance is the highest among these cars.
