Mercedes-Benz GLC's arch-rival, imported medium-sized luxury SUV, Lincoln Navigator submarine version to the store for real shooting.

The 22 Guangzhou Auto Show, which has attracted much attention this month, will officially kick off this week. During this auto show, there are many new cars. Lincoln, as one of the participating brands, will bring the third domestic model during the auto show. At present, it is speculated online that this new car may be a domestic version of the navigator.

And before that, during the 22 Beijing Auto Show, Lincoln brought? Voyager 2.T submarine version, the new car is an imported version, and the official price is 48,8 yuan, which is the second Voyager Special Edition launched by Lincoln in China this year, and the other is Voyager 2.7T limited edition. A few days ago, we photographed the Navigator's submarine version at the dealer. Interested friends may wish to take this opportunity to learn about it.

At present, Voyager's Submarine Edition offers five color schemes, namely Crystal Diamond White, Artistic Blue, Hanjin Black, Burgundy Red, and Ochre Brown. This time, the real shot version is Hanjin Black, with deep and pure black matching with extraordinary style, giving people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

The navigator's front face adopts Lincoln's iconic large-size air intake grille, and the chrome-plated decoration effect inside the grille is quite exquisite. Looking closely, the grid shape is consistent with the shape of Lincoln's logo, echoing Lincoln's brand to some extent, and enhancing the design sense of its front face in detail.

as for the light groups on both sides, the styles are equally exquisite, and all of them are LED light sources, and the detailed design presents the effect of bright stars, which is also in line with its luxurious positioning.

in terms of body size, the length, width and height of Voyager Submarine Edition are 4849/1936/1681mm and the wheelbase is 2849mm, which belongs to the category of medium-sized SUV. The side shape of the car belongs to the standard style, which helps to ensure its internal space performance, while the rear privacy glass helps to ensure the privacy of the car, which belongs to the configuration that luxury models should have.

the front fender has a special logo of "NAUTILUS", which shows its identity as a navigator. The door handle is designed in the same color as the car body, which looks very harmonious in visual effect. The bottom is made of 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and the size is not atmospheric for the navigator's body, so it can only be said that it is just enough. The navigator's wheel hub size can reach up to 21 inches, and of course the price is 11, yuan higher than that of the submarine version, so the selectivity is slightly weaker.

as for the side details, there is a luggage rack on the roof and Lincoln's iconic combination lock on the door, which is believed to attract a lot of return when using the car every day. The lower part is also surrounded by a scratch-proof ring and decorated with chrome trim, which gives a sense of luxury.

As for the tail, more highlights lie in the penetrating taillight group. The details are arranged with chrome trim strips and brand English logos, which effectively enhances the exquisiteness and grade of the tail. The exhaust layout with two sides and two outlets at the bottom is both true exhaust ports, which is quite atmospheric in visual effect and can also highlight its sports atmosphere.

Compared with the luxurious sports style, the interior modeling of Voyager Submarine Edition really looks a little old-fashioned, and it doesn't look like the luxury and technology sense that is consistent with its positioning. Therefore, if this model wants to win the favor of more domestic consumers, it should pay more attention to the interior.

specifically, the center console is designed symmetrically, creating a sense of visual balance. Although the center console is not made of leather too much, the material quality is delicate and the details are treated with stitching, which enhances the design sense of its interior to some extent.

The multifunctional steering wheel is well-shaped, wrapped in leather with stitching details, supports four-way manual adjustment, and has steering wheel shift paddles. The inner rearview mirror supports automatic anti-glare function, which is very helpful for improving driving safety.

The full LCD instrument is 12.3 inches in size, which belongs to the technical configuration that follows the trend, and has built-in driving recorder function, which is also one of the unique configurations of the submarine version. The central control LCD screen is 8 inches in size, which supports touch operation, mobile phone interconnection, car networking and other functions. However, compared with other competitors' car systems, it really has no advantages, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

The central control screen is surrounded by physical buttons and knobs, which can be used to control the air conditioning system, seat heating and other functions. Even the one-button start button is placed here, which inevitably looks a bit compact and dense.

After the storage compartment under the center console is opened, the mobile phone can be placed, and there is also a USB interface for charging. However, this version is not equipped with the wireless charging function of the mobile phone, which is still a pity.

the interior seat is made of leather-like fabric, but the texture is excellent. The front seat supports electric adjustment and heating functions, but it does not provide ventilation and massage functions, so the comfort is relatively limited. In addition, the driver's seat also supports three sets of memory functions, so that different drivers do not need to adjust the seat again when using the car.

thanks to the body size of the medium-sized SUV, the rear row space is relatively spacious, and the middle floor is not obvious, which can ensure a certain ride comfort. In addition, the roof is equipped with an openable panoramic skylight, which significantly improves the permeability of the interior space, and it is one of the favorite configurations of domestic consumers.

In addition, the rear seat is equipped with a central armrest, which comes with two cup holders after being put down, and there is no more configuration, so the central armrest looks shabby. Of course, the rear seat also supports the 4/6 ratio down, and the rear seat can be put down with one button with the help of the buttons in the trunk, but it still needs manual adjustment when standing up.

the trunk supports electric opening, but it has no induction opening function, which is somewhat inconsistent with its luxurious positioning. The trunk has a conventional volume of 739L, which is a practical loading space. If the rear seat is put down, the trunk volume can be expanded to 1473L, but it is not flat after the rear seat is put down, so more attention should be paid to placing items.

It is worth mentioning that the Navigator Submersible Edition has some exclusive configurations, including the exclusive driving recorder, the exclusive headrest, the exclusive 3D floor mats and luggage compartment mats, and the exclusive smart car heating and cooling box, so the special edition model is still worthy of the name.

in terms of power, voyager submarine version is equipped with a 2.T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 224 HP and a peak torque of 368Nm, which is enough for navigators. After all, there is a 2.7T power version further up.

in terms of transmission system, it is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and this version is not equipped with a four-wheel drive system. It is worth mentioning that the traditional shift lever is not used in the car, and the key shift mechanism is used, and the key is set on the left side of the central control panel.

judging from the pricing of Voyager Submarine Edition, its positioning is biased towards the entry-level version, so there are not many surprises in terms of configuration, especially the interior does not have much competitive advantage compared with luxury competitors of the same level.

although it is a medium-sized SUV, its spatial performance can't be compared with that of its competitors after being made in China, and its recognition as a luxury brand needs to be improved. Therefore, compared with competitors such as Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5L, its comprehensive strength and style really need to be improved.

Of course, Navigator Submarine Edition is not without competitive advantages. For example, its luxurious appearance style, diversified exclusive configuration and the identity of the imported version are all important points worthy of consumers' consideration. Interested friends may wish to go to the dealer to find out.
