Since the localization of the Lincoln brand, the pace of product layout is very rapid, after the initial completion of the SUV family consisting of adventurers, aviators, and navigators, it has also set its sights on the car market that has been briefly separated, and launched its first domestic car - Lincoln Z while it is hot. At present, the new car has been officially launched, a total of 7 versions of the model, the official guidance price range of 252,800-340,800 yuan. So, which of these 7 models is the most worth getting started? Next, let's talk about it in detail.
Key takeaways:
1· In front of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi to lead, there are many second-line luxury fierce battles around, please have a normal heart before buying Lincoln Z.
2· Lincoln Z continues the product strategy of the US luxury dimensionality reduction attack, the starting configuration is high, and the dual-shaped + 27-inch central control screen is more youthful.
3· iku/i enjoy Premium Edition models are more cost-effective, iku/i Enjoy Premium Edition has more optional configurations and more room for improvement.
● There is a BBA in the front and a second-tier luxury fierce battle in the back
As a luxury brand medium-sized sedan, the Lincoln Z will naturally face the BBA leading lineup composed of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4L after listing. In addition, second-tier luxury brands such as cadillac CT5, Volvo S60, Jaguar XEL and other second-tier luxury brands will also become competitors of Lincoln Z. Compared with the unattainable BBA "fairy fight", the launch of Lincoln Z seems to have a greater impact on many second-tier luxury brands.
I have to say that if you intend to pursue more brand identity, or pursue the future vehicle retention rate, then you may wish to go out and turn right to choose BBA; and if you hold a normal heart that is limited to the current "seeking perfection and seeking big", then Lincoln Z seems to be a good choice. After all, the Cadillac CT5 focuses on the sporty attributes brought by the front rear drive, but the rear space is not a small problem; although the Jaguar XEL has a similar level of power, the sense of technology and Lincoln Z are still a lot worse; and the volvo S60 body size is too small, and the data of the two cars is basically a level difference.
As for the price, Lincoln Z continues the product strategy of the US luxury dimensionality reduction blow, the price range of 252,800-340,800 yuan is relatively transparent, so that the price of the main sales model is almost pressed at the threshold of 300,000 yuan, which is similar to the price after the bmw 3 series and the most entry-level version of the Audi A4L terminal discount, of course, not to mention some "fractured" second-line luxury brands. At the same price, Lincoln Z also has its own advantages and characteristics in terms of configuration and product strength.
● Double shape + 27 inch central control screen is more youthful
As Lincoln's first domestic car, lincoln Z is naturally more in line with the aesthetics and needs of Chinese consumers in terms of product strength. First of all, in terms of appearance, the official provides Lincoln Z with two different front face design styles, of which the i-enjoy type is mostly decorated with chrome trim pieces, and the i cool type is matched with black trim pieces. In addition, two models with different design styles also have their own exclusive body color options.
The aforementioned "big", is the Lincoln body size, the new car length, width and height are 4982/1865/1485mm, wheelbase 2930mm, although compared to competitors, its wheelbase does not have any advantages to speak of, but nearly 5 meters body size can also bring a good space experience.
The highlights of the Lincoln Z interior naturally needless to say, the continuous screen that enters the car through the entire center console is really eye-catching, and the entire display interface is composed of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument and a 27-inch through-line central control screen, which is equipped with the Lincoln Nebula human-computer interaction system and has comprehensive networking functions. In addition, the interior color of lincoln Z also provides different exclusive color matching options according to the difference between i-share and i-cool models.
As for power, the lincoln Z series will come standard with the same powertrain, with a 2.0T turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 246 hp and a peak torque of 376 Nm. In terms of transmission, it will be matched by an 8-speed manual transmission, all of which is front-wheel drive.
● Configure analytics
As mentioned earlier, Lincoln Z continues the product strategy of the US luxury dimensionality reduction attack, so it also strives to achieve "entry is high matching" in terms of configuration. From the perspective of the lowest i-cool-please version of the model, it is equipped with a 27-inch intelligent large screen, 128-color mood lights (with music rhythm mode), automatic air conditioning, through-type taillights, etc., plus a 2.0T powertrain, with reference to a price of 252,800 yuan, which is already friendly for consumers with limited budgets.
As for the premium version with a higher configuration, it has two choices in terms of appearance, iku and isha, but in addition to different designs, the configuration of iku and ishare versions is basically the same. The configuration upgrade brought by the Premium Edition is very obvious, and the difference of 17,000 yuan can be exchanged for configurations including complete driver assistance systems, seat heating/ventilation, wireless charging, adaptive proximity lights, steering wheel heating, etc., which can be said to have greatly improved safety and comfort.
The configuration improvement of the Zunya version is mainly focused on comfort and technology configuration, and the difference of 30,000 yuan can arrange such as leather seats, Ruiwei brand audio, and openable panoramic sunroofs. In addition, it also supports optional Bluetooth key, HUD head-up display and other top configurations, which is very user-friendly. If you're on a relatively budget, this model can basically provide the luxury experience it deserves.
i cool Zun Yao version is the top model of the i cool series, compared to the Zun Ya version is 36,000 yuan more expensive, the main highlight is equipped with a more sporty leather / hair material mixed seat, car aromatherapy, automatic parking and other high-pressure configuration; and the same top model, i enjoy the premium version compared to i cool zun yao version the price is 5,000 yuan higher, the configuration difference is that the front seat has more shoulder, waist (4-way), leg rest and other parts of the adjustment function, in addition, the front seat also supports the massage function. However, at this time, its price has exceeded 300,000 yuan, and the overall cost performance is not too high.
●Configuration recommendation: the first push iku / i enjoy exclusive version (priced at 269,800 yuan)
iKu/i Enjoy Premium Edition: ★★★★★ (Priced at 269,800 yuan)
Since the entry configuration of Lincoln Z is not low, the complete driver assistance system, seat heating/ventilation, wireless charging, adaptive far and near lights and other functions added by the iKu/i Privilege Edition in the entry configuration have been able to meet the basic comfort needs of daily driving, and the price of 269,800 yuan is also a high cost performance for a luxury brand sedan, so it is recommended.
iku/i Enjoy Premium Edition: ★★★★ (Priced at 299,800 yuan)
The price of the iku/i-enjoy premium version of the model has reached 299,800 yuan, which is not friendly to consumers with limited budgets. However, the configuration of the model's leather seats, Ruiwei brand audio and other configurations still greatly enhance the luxury of Lincoln Z, and bluetooth keys, HUD head-up display and other options have also further enhanced the expansion of personalization.
iku Zun Yao Edition: ★★★ (Price 335,800 yuan)
As an American luxury sedan equipped with 2.0T power, the main sports-style iku model is more in line with the positioning of lincoln Z in design. As a top-of-the-line model, it is also fully capable of dealing with consumers who have the ultimate pursuit of configuration. So, if you're on a budget, you might as well opt for this model.
●Full text summary:
The Lincoln Z-Foot can be called the youngest product in the Lincoln family, and compared with other SUV models, the new naming method, which highlights the technology and luxurious interior atmosphere, are the killer skills among its competitors in the same class. The Premium Edition is not missing whether it is active and passive safety configuration or other comfortable configurations, it can also be said that it is the embodiment of the inner thoughts of domestic consumers after its domestic production.
Of course, compared with the SUV market, the pattern of the domestic car market is relatively solidified, and this situation is more obvious in the luxury brand market. Therefore, as a new model, the Lincoln Z is equally important for the dissemination of product ideas and the promotion of brand recognition.
