  • Lincoln Shows two Restyled Models and a Concept at the Shanghai Show

    Lincoln ConceptThe luxurious and well-known auto brand Lincoln unveiled three revised and restyled models at 2015 Auto Shanghai Show. The models are the medium-sized MKX, a full-sized SUV, named Navigator and the Lincoln Continental Concept. All the three models demonstrate Lincoln’s determination to bring fresh models on the Chinese market. As you know, Lincoln founded eleven stores in nine cities throughout China in late 2014 and since then the brand marks incredible sales increase.

    The first model, the MKX shows a really dramatic exterior design with wonderful proportions. But the exterior isn’t the only eye-catcher. The cabin is surprisingly spacious and comfortable.

    The MKX comes with two engine options. The first one is a 2.0-Liter EcoBoost turbocharged powerplant. The second one is the advanced 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost, that delivers 340 hp (250 kW) and a total of 542Nm of torque. Both engine options are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. There are and some upgrades for the chassis. The latest MKX has some suspension and handling upgrades.

    The Navigator model, on other hand, as one of the most iconic models for the brand comes to demonstrate next-gen technology and a sleek, detailed design. This beauty is geared with a restyled 3.5-Liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine, that provides 582 Nm of torque. Further gadgets and specs include the Lincoln Drive Control, that provides even better performance and smoother ride.

    The third unveiled model, the Lincoln Continental Concept, mixes next-gen technology and craftsmanship, that only the Lincoln team can provide.  The inside is a really comfortable and pleasurable place to be, thankfully to the highest-class materials. The seats, for example, are clothed with Venetian leather and include the Alcantara seat inserts. The rear seats are especially designed for greater privacy and comfort. There is even a special window technology, that could be activated to block almost 100% of the UV rays.

    The heart of the Concept is  a 3.0-Liter V6 EcoBoost engine. The drive system is further upgraded with the Lincoln Drive Contro and Aadptive Steering systems, that bring even more pleasure for the driver.

  • Lincoln Previews the Future of Luxury with Continental Concept

    Lincoln Continental Concept Front and Side ViewLincoln is rarely in our news, but when it does it is because of something spectacular. Whether it is a new advertisement with the Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, or simply a new project, we are always excited to see what’s next for the brand. And today it is the Rhapsody Blue metallic Continental Concept which is a preview of a future full-size sedan that is an example of “quiet luxury”.

    The car is distinguished by a sleek silhouette, typical for a sedan, as well as by a centered chrome grille, which both imply for a brand new front fascia of company’s cars. Also new is the raised Lincoln badge that is surrounded by aluminum Lincoln Star emblems. The door handles are the so called “e-latch” and they open with one touch, effortlessly and quietly.

    In terms of technology, this concept car is filled with cool stuff. First, the lights at the front are LED matrix headlamps that feature laser-assist high beams. Secondly, the taillights are given light-through-chrome technology. Third, the cabin of the vehicle is enchanted by ambient lightning via the soft-gold LEDs coming from the center console.

    The car can also show-off with Lincoln Drive Control ride-enhancing technologies and Adaptive Steering, driver assist technologies such as Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, 360-degree camera and Enhanced Park Assist.

    Speaking of the interior, this Lincoln features Venetian leather seats and door panels as well as Alcantara seat inserts and armrests. Other interesting features inside are the satin headliner and the shearling wool carpet. Rose Gold and bright chrome trims added throughout the interior add further accents. There are some more special features like the 30-way seats, the Revel Ultima audio system, the SPD SmartGlass tinting sunroof and tablet-supporting lap tray, and etc.

    Continental Concept hides under its hood a 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost engine, but there are no official words on output numbers. Riding on those one-off painted-pocket alloys of the 21-inch size, this concept will amaze the visitors of the auto show in New York and there is no doubt in that. Be prepared for more official data very soon.
