Earlier, Lincoln released its new successor model Corsair of MKC overseas, and as Lincoln's first model to introduce domestic products, the first model of Lincoln Corsair (internal code name CX483) has recently been launched and ignited at a factory in Chongqing, and is currently conducting road tests in China.

In terms of appearance, there is little difference between Lincoln Corsair domestic models and overseas models, continuing its family design style, the dot matrix chrome-plated air intake net highlights a strong sense of American luxury, and its headlamp group L-shaped arc of daytime driving lights is highly recognizable after lighting. The new car looks like a scaled-down version of the navigator on the overall appearance, but has a different interpretation style.

Lincoln Corsair on the interior is replaced with a new design language, compared with the current MKC, the interior of the new car is earth-shaking, using black and brown double matching colors, and the air conditioner outlet is perfectly integrated into the center console, large floating central control display screen, with piano key shift button, the car interior gives people a full sense of luxury. At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with L2-level self-driving technology, head-up display, wireless charging and ACC automatic cruise.

On the power side, the Lincoln Corsair carries a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine that matches the new eight-speed manual transmission with a maximum power of 250hp and a maximum torque of 373Nm. The new car is also expected to launch a plug-in hybrid model with 1.5L three-cylinder engine matching 48V motor in the future.

In the first quarter of this year, Lincoln sold 11000 vehicles in China, down 9.4% from a year earlier, but Lincoln, an imported luxury brand, has performed well compared with the 35.8% decline in sales of its parent company Ford in China in the first half of this year. In order to reverse the situation that the performance of the luxury brand in China is not as good as that of the top three German BBA, Lincoln has been committed to the localization of his brand in the Chinese market. Can the Lincoln Corsair, as its first domestic model, change Lincoln's decline in the domestic luxury market? Let's wait and see!
