is straight to the point, today I want to talk about Lincoln Aviator .
is the highest-level SUV (medium and large) launched by Changan Lincoln after its domestic production. The pilot can be said to be Changan Lincoln's flagship model. Although the price of 513,800-763,800 yuan seems not cheap, it is equipped with a 3.0T+10AT powertrain in its entire series, which bypasses the current situation of getting started with the 2.0T engine (Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5 and Audi Q7 are all getting started with the 2.0T engine), and it still has quite an advantage in power output. As a second-tier luxury brand, Lincoln Auto has actually maintained a certain cost-effectiveness. The 3.0T model of the Aviator starts at 513,800 yuan. So what about its competitor models? For example, the 3.0T model of the domestic BMW X5 starts at 702,000 yuan, and the pilot is 188,200 yuan cheaper than it.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Lincoln Aviator are 5080 mm, 2022 mm and 1759 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3025 mm. For reference, the length, width and height of the domestic BMW X5 are 5060 mm, 2004 mm and 1779 mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3105 mm. Overall, the Lincoln Aviator is larger in size, which has more advantages in length and width, while in terms of height and wheelbase, it is not as good as the domestic BMW X5.
power, its 3.0T V6 engine has a maximum power of 355 horsepower, and the maximum torque of is 553 Nm. It is measured in 6.18 seconds and has a 100-plus power output, which is more than enough to meet the general household needs. However, its 10AT gearbox is not so satisfactory in terms of smoothness. There is a little bit of a jerk when shifting gears at low speed, and there is a delay in shifting gears, which affects the comfort experience. The car is equipped with four-door double-layer laminated glass and ANC active noise reduction, and the sound insulation effect is pretty good. However, during the test drive, when the speed reaches 80-90km/h, tire noise and wind noise are very obvious.
In terms of interior, Lincoln Aviator's materials and workmanship are good. The center console and door panels are mainly soft decorative materials, and the leather cover and solid wood veneer are added, which reflects the luxurious atmosphere.
The car is built on the CD6 longitudinal rear-wheel drive platform. The chassis adopts a structure of double wishbones + multi-links with rear. The chassis adjustment style is no longer the "flashing" feeling of American cars before, and it can be clearly felt that the suspension becomes tougher and can provide stronger support when cornering rapidly. It is worth mentioning that the car is also equipped with a simulated sound wave system. When you drive and get stuck in , do you feel energetic when you turn on the simulated sound wave system?
For Lincoln Automobile, the "ancestral" button-type gear shifting mechanism is indispensable. The flyingman's gear shifting mechanism is located under the air conditioner outlet panel, and the left side of the P gear is a one-click start button, which is different from the original imported models. As you can see, there are many physical buttons in the car, so it is still easy to get started.
There is a mobile phone wireless charging panel on the front floor. On the right side of the panel is a cup holder with a cover. If you close the cover, the front floor will look very regular.
The entire series of this car is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel and a 12.8-inch floating central control screen. The display effect of the instrument panel is relatively boring and lacks playability. The clarity of the central control screen is pretty good, with a built-in SYNC+ smart internet system, which supports satellite navigation, voice recognition control, 4G vehicle networking and OTA upgrades. The second-top and top-end models (Executive/Presidential Edition) are also equipped with a 28-speaker Ruiwei speaker with air suspension.
Although the body size of the Aviator is not small, the interior space is not that spacious. The third row of seats "tugging back legs" are the third row of seats. It has a low sitting position, short cushion, straight backrest, and cramped leg space, making it uncomfortable to ride. The ride experience of the second row of seats is pretty good, but the middle platform is bulging very high, so why not design it as a flat floor? In terms of sales volume, if you compare the sales volume in 2021, Lincoln Aviator's sales in 2022 are showing a downward trend.Why? I think it is related to the domestic products of BMW X5, Audi Q6 and Infiniti QX60. In the past, you could not buy many domestic luxury mid-to-large SUVs. Now there are suddenly three more competitors, and it is not surprising that you can erode the market share. In addition to domestic luxury mid-to-large SUVs, among the luxury mid-to-large SUVs of more than 500,000 yuan, there are Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 "eye at it". One of them has better brand attributes and the other has stronger safety. For Lincoln Aviators, the current "life" is not easy. From its discount of 10,000 yuan last year to a discount of 20,000 yuan this year, and its sales have declined.
See this, do you think the Lincoln Aviator is worth it?
