In recent months, many auto manufacturers have experienced chip supply shortages. Many luxury brands have reduced their production of cars and even temporarily closed their factories. There has been even a situation in China that has recycled quasi-new cars. But there is only one exception...

It is the representative of American luxury - Lincoln . In addition to not being affected by the "chip storm", Lincoln's terminal prices are also very stable and the supply of cars is sufficient. On this basis, Lincoln's cumulative sales volume of from January to August this year increased by 380% year-on-year, leading the average growth rate of the luxury car market and becoming a unique existence among luxury brands this year.

At the same time, Lincoln is also making steadily in the field of new energy. Nowadays, new energy vehicles are gradually becoming the mainstream way to buy cars at present, and more and more car companies are beginning to launch PHEV (plug-in hybrid) models. However, in the luxury brand car market, the first-tier Mercedes-Benz and Audi currently do not have new energy SUV models that can be seen in the field of compact SUVs, so it is also under such circumstances that Lincoln launched the new Adventurer PHEV (picture | configuration | inquiry) model this year.

This new car is built on the fuel version of Adventurer model, and the newly added plug-in hybrid system is more in line with the current national conditions. Interestingly, the price of the two adventurer PHEV models is only 309,800 yuan and 345,800 yuan. The new car not only comes with electric four-wheel drive and CCD adaptive suspension standard, but also enjoys a series of national preferential policies such as new energy green license plate and free travel restrictions.

And it is worth mentioning that the monthly sales of the Adventurer fuel version models on sale have been stable at around four or five thousand units with their excellent product strength. From January to August this year, Lincoln China's sales exceeded 57,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 80%. It has to be said that Lincoln really has the momentum to seize the high ground of the BBA market segment in one go, and it also gives consumers confidence that they are holding coins to buy Lincoln models.

In addition, the "chip shortage" problem that exists in many luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW , Audi and other luxury brands basically do not exist on Lincoln. We learned from Lincoln dealers that Lincoln currently has sufficient chips and the model will not increase its price. Please feel free to buy it. From these two points, we can see that the Lincoln brand has very strong sales and manufacturing.

Of course, for the Lincoln brand, the newly added PHEV version will inevitably expand the sales performance of the entire Adventurer Car Series in China. As a new model that has just been launched, how exactly does the Lincoln Adventurer PHEV perform? Some time ago, we went to the beautiful Suzhou to test drive this car, and took this opportunity to sort out whether the Adventurer PHEV version is worth buying. What changes are the appearance of

?

I believe many friends know more about the appearance of the fuel version of Lincoln Adventurer model. So what changes have happened to the Adventurer PHEV version? First of all, while retaining the new Lincoln family design language, the Adventurer PHEV version is equipped with an exclusive blue-font side nameplate and a Lincoln Star logo on blue bottom, which looks very refreshing and can also make people tell at a glance that this is a PHEV version.

Secondly, the Adventurer PHEV version comes standard with 19-inch glossy aluminum alloy wheels , which looks more atmospheric than the fuel version of Adventurer's 18-inch wheels, and also adds a little more to the overall appearance of the new car. After watching the overall appearance changes of Lincoln Adventurer PHEV, I believe that friends have already understood its appearance. So what different surprises will the luxury of the interior bring to us? Why not continue reading. How about the luxury of the interior of

?

Speaking of interior design, Lincoln has always been the brand that is good at creating a sense of luxury.Unlike the cold mechanical style of the interior of the German BBA model, Lincoln's interior has always paid great attention to the sense of ritual. For example, on this adventurer PHEV model, as you gradually approach the vehicle, you can see that the welcome light of the car will slowly light up, and this feeling is like a general who is receiving the attention of the guards. As the owner of the car, you will feel proud suddenly.

Open the car door, and a faint fragrance will come from the car, and you don’t have to be surprised, because this is the electronic fragrance system specially used by Lincoln for adventurers PHEV models. According to the manufacturer, this fragrance system has been developed for 18 months, namely "Sea Love" made of night-scented jade , roses and freesia, "Mu Guang" that combines sweet orange and amber fragrance, "Yueran" made of lily, jasmine and peony fragrance, and "Hui Sun", "Orange Blossom", "Tea Word" and "Azure Blue".

From our actual experience, the smell of these sets of fragrances is very nice, and it is not pungent or elegant. It smells like a big brand, and people will not experience motion sickness when they enter the car. Therefore, it has to be said that Lincoln really has his own experience in creating a sense of luxury.

In addition to the fragrance system, the comfortable atmosphere mode equipped by the Adventurer PHEV model also enhances the luxury of the interior. It has three different modes: "Forest Fine Realm", "Haiyu Love" and "Fragrant and Warm Heart". Through the pictures on the central control screen in the car, the starlight strip atmosphere lights in the car, and the soothing music played in the Ruiwei Audio, it achieves an immersive enjoyment that integrates smell, vision and hearing. I also experienced this function during the test drive. It can indeed give me a relaxed state, and the sense of ritual is simply full at night, so the sense of luxury must be full.

Where are the upgrades to the sense of technology and user experience?

As for the upgrade of technology and user experience, my biggest feeling is the third generation Lincoln SYNC+ Intelligent Internet system equipped with the new Lincoln Adventure PHEV.

Usually everyone will encounter navigation when driving, and the problem of listening to music. If you can have a good car system at this time, these problems will naturally be solved. The Lincoln Adventurer PHEV model we tested this time not only has smart navigation that is better and safer than mobile phones, but also has functions such as intelligent voice with natural semantic recognition, rich in in-car entertainment and service ecology, and intelligent and convenient car-home interconnection.

It can be said that Lincoln adventurer PHEV has achieved the "one cloud and three terminals" smart connection experience of mobile phones, car computers, and smart homes. For car owners, this is undoubtedly a "lazy benefit". After all, if you can use your mouth, you don't need to operate with your hands, which greatly alleviates the problem of distracting attention when driving.

has the power become stronger? Is it smooth and comfortable enough to drive, and how economical is the fuel economy?

Unlike the fuel version of Adventurer models, the entire series is equipped with 2.0T engines, the new Lincoln Adventurer PHEV front axle adopts a breakthrough POWER-SPLIT hybrid power shunt dual motor structure, which cooperates with the eRAD rear axle permanent magnet synchronous motor and gasoline engine, which can intelligently switch power according to different driving conditions, achieving maximum power of up to 203kW, bringing strong acceleration performance. Judging from the data performance, the power of the adventurer PHEV model has undoubtedly become stronger, so what does it feel when it actually drives?

Driving through urban, highway and country road sections, we believe that the NVH performance of the adventurer PHEV in the car is better than that of the fuel version when driving in the medium and low speed sections. Moreover, thanks to the free switching between the motor and the engine of the eCVT transmission, the transmission efficiency is greatly improved, and no perception switching is achieved between various driving modes.Therefore, this is definitely a great news for customers who often have to drive in the city.

In addition, a hybrid system composed of dual motors and gasoline engines can intelligently adjust the power distribution of the power system according to different driving conditions and under different driving mode selection to ensure more efficient operation efficiency. During our test drive, what I often use is the sports mode. In this mode, the power output of the Lincoln Adventurer PHEV model becomes very strong. It is paired with a sensitive accelerator, and it is quite neat to overtake and has a lot of explosive power. This is completely something that the fuel version cannot give you.

As for comfort, Adventurer PHEV also comes standard with the same ANC active noise reduction and CCD adaptive suspension system as the fuel version. It is reported that the system can monitor the road surface conditions at a frequency of 500 times per second and adjust the shock absorber accordingly. After the test drive, we also found that the chassis of the Adventurer PHEV can easily resolve fine vibrations and road undulations. Therefore, the Adventurer PHEV's excellent driving experience and comfort performance left a deep impression on us. It is worthy of being a "luxury" and uncompromising American luxury SUV.

Finally, in terms of battery life and fuel economy, adventurer PHEV is equipped with nickel-cobalt-manganese lithium-ion battery , and NEDC pure electric range is 64km. After actual testing, it can indeed run above 60 kilometers in pure electric state, and the calibration value is very objective. In terms of fuel consumption, the Adventurer PHEV's comprehensive fuel consumption of only 1.5L per 100 kilometers at full power state, which is also very fuel-efficient.

at the end: In general, although the appearance and interior of Adventurer PHEV have not changed much on the basis of the fuel version, the adjustments in details still make the PHEV model more eye-catching than the fuel version. In addition, the power experience of the new car is better than that of the fuel version, and the support of electric four-wheel drive and CCD adaptive suspension also improves the vehicle's sense of advanced driving. In addition, there are a series of policy advantages such as being able to use green cards and free travel restrictions, so we think that if you have the conditions, you can buy a Lincoln Adventurer PHEV version. Compared with the BMW X1 new energy vehicle with high starting price and average driving quality, adventurer PHEV is also much more kind in its positioning and price, so it is recommended to buy it.
