Be a pilot once? American luxury SUV Lincoln aviators also talk about cost performance?

I don't know how many friends' impressions of Lincoln's medium and large SUVs come from American blockbusters. Take "black gold" for example. Apart from the agent in black, what impressed me the most was the Lincoln navigator who was bursting with muscles. As a luxury full-size SUV, its appearance is quite domineering, and the strong American style is vividly interpreted on it. In terms of power, it adopts a new 5.4-liter 3-valve engine with a maximum output of 224 kW. It is the only full-size SUV equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Due to the constant edification of the film at that time, many people included it in their dream garage.

With the overall economic growth slowing down and competing products becoming more and more abundant, the Lincoln family released a domestic luxury medium and large SUV-a new generation of Lincoln aviators. Its release not only makes up for the shortcomings of the Lincoln family in the three fields of "land, sea and air", but also makes it look cost-effective at this level at a price of 509.8-759.8 million yuan. Compared with a million-dollar honey? Car-pilot, maybe an aviator is more to his taste? Of course, is this oversized American mansion worth "drying"? Maybe you can find your answer here.

▎ Where is the biggest "Super Cup"? this is true

For consumers, oversized cups mean one word and one word, namely "big" and "satisfied". I believe everyone who knows this stalk has seen Luo Yonghao ordering coffee at Starbucks. Unlike the "coffee incident", what the pilot showed me was indeed a complete American Super Bowl. Compared with any competitor of BBA, its performance is not inferior at all. In my opinion, it can undoubtedly satisfy China consumers' daydream about "super large cup". Powerful uplift lines, gorgeous and elegant appearance, and its huge hub, I believe everyone who sees it will be shocked by its majestic momentum.

Big, but it doesn't mean stupid or heavy. The new generation of aviators have adopted powerful straight lines in many places to outline the outline of the car body, making it look large and exquisite. And the configuration level is also rich enough. All models are equipped with LED headlights and four-door keyless induction system. And the presidential version is also exclusive to 275/40? R22 Goodyear wheel hub, the visual experience is quite domineering.

Lincoln aviators also used family-style through taillights, and LED light sources made them highly recognizable at night. Not only that, but also a real exhaust pipe with large space, large displacement and four thick arms. It's big everywhere. Are you beginning to like it? Don't worry, keep looking down.

▎ What does it feel like to "overflow" the cup?

It is no exaggeration to say that the interior luxury of the new generation of Lincoln aviators is not inferior to BBA at all, which is unfounded. In the selection of Ward's top ten interior models in 2020, there is a figure of Lincoln aviator, which is enough to explain the materials used in the interior and the next book. Of course, the effect on the screen is far from the real car shock. Only when you have seen it with your own eyes can you understand what a real luxury is.

Among them, the two-color multi-function steering wheel not only has strong visual impact, but also has a comfortable grip, especially at three o'clock or nine o'clock. Another small detail is that the icons on the left and right levers on the steering wheel will light up when power is applied. The instrument panel also adopts a more scientific and technological all-LCD instrument panel, with a size of 12.3 inches, which is more in line with the mainstream level. The most noteworthy thing is that its 12.8-inch central control large screen is equipped with SYNC+ system, and its display effect and fluency are impeccable, but it does not support CarPlay, and its convenience is slightly insufficient.

Nowadays, when Audi Mercedes-Benz has replaced Dalian screen to highlight the sense of science and technology, aviators still keep a large number of physical buttons. To be honest, before Bian Xiao, they didn't like the screen in Dalian very much. First, it is easy to leave fingerprints, but the reflection is serious under strong light, which affects driving safety. Aviators will not have similar problems, and the knob has delicate damping and strong sense of advanced, which is very suitable for blind people to exercise. Like wireless charging, there is no absence, and the setting of the inclined plane is also very convenient to take. The two cup holders next to it can be neatly covered when not in use.

Domestic aviators are all six-seat versions except the minimum equipment, and passengers in the second row can enjoy an independent "captain's seat". There is a central control and central armrest between the executive edition and the presidential edition, and this configuration is unique at the same level, which is very luxurious. If the demand for the third row of seats is not very high, you can also press the button to put the third row of seats down together with the trunk to form a flat space, which can reach up to 2044L trunk space, which is very luxurious.

The front seat of the aviator is very thick, which looks like two thick cushions stacked together. The high-profile model supports 30-way adjustment mode, and the front end and both sides of the cushion can be adjusted independently, which is luxurious enough.

▎3.0T double pressurization+longitudinal rear drive, which is luxurious.

The standard 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine+10AT gearbox+longitudinal rear drive is unique in its class. This is correct for domestic pilots. Its intelligent four-wheel drive can realize 50: 50 front and rear power distribution, ensure the ride comfort of its vehicles and provide strong enough power output.

Secondly, this domestic aviator adopts a number of top technologies and has the world-leading manufacturing technology. The high-strength cage is composed of a large number of ultra-high-strength steels, of which "submarine-grade" ultra-high-strength steels with a pressure of 1300Mpa account for more than 40%. Key parts such as sill plate, floor beam and rear collision beam are made of 1500Mpa "aviation grade" ultra-high strength steel; Both A-pillar and roof side member are made of 1700MPa ultra-high strength cold-extracted martensitic steel, and the strong "skeleton" brings a tough sense of security like American muscle.

▎ The Super Bowl is far less important than cost performance, isn't it?

Why do you say that? Cadillac CT6 is a good example. Nearly 80% of second-tier luxury brands in China use price reduction to gain sales, which is a rational behavior. It can be seen that the official guide price of CT6 is 3797-527,700 yuan, while the current general discount is about 90,000 yuan, so the low-priced version of bare cars is only in the early 280,000 yuan, which can maintain the sales of 65,438+065,438+0529 units in10-July this year.

Lincoln, also a second-tier luxury brand in the domestic market, is positioned as a medium-sized and large SUV. At this level, its competitors are undoubtedly locked in BMW X5, Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. However, compared with the price of TAs, the pre-sale price of aviators is more attractive, and the 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine is its most fatal attraction. For consumers, such a large cup is definitely worth "making".

▎ Write at the end

From the overall market environment, we can see that China automobile market is still a battleground for all luxury brands. But consumers in China are more rational and know more about cars. There are more real and objective views on the attributes, uses and pricing of automobile products, and fewer people are willing to be white cars. Of course, any behavior that only talks about strength but not price is hooliganism. Only when the product strength and price are in place can it be included in the candidate list by consumers. For the pilot, at least its future is bright.
