First China-built Lincoln-branded model available for presale

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- The all-new Lincoln Corsair, the first China-built Lincoln-branded model, has been available for pre-order with prices ranging between RMB248,000 and RMB350,000, according to Lincoln's WeChat account. The new SUV is anticipated to go on sale in the first quarter of 2020.

Inheriting the genes of Lincoln's iconic design, the locally-produced Corsair features curve-adaptive LED headlights and a pronounced Lincoln star centered on the now-familiar grille. At the rear end, the signature but slimmer taillight cluster stretching across the tailgate accentuates the vehicle's width.

The homegrown SUV packs an exhaust layout with a single pipe on each side. Besides, the vehicle measures 4,615mm long, 1,887mm wide and 1,630mm tall; wheelbase length is 2,711mm. It also offers up to 594 liters of cargo space.

In terms of the interior, the China-built Lincoln Corsair stays true to the outgoing model. The most eye-catching facility must be the 12.8-inch console-mounted display which is equipped with SYNC+, an in-vehicle infotainment system built specifically for Chinese consumers. Moreover, the lacquered panel at the leather-wrapped air conditioning area is designed to meet consumers' classy tastes.

The ANC (active noise control) system and the Michelin Primacy SUV tires are standard features across the all-new Corsair variants. Other standard niceties include the heated front seats and cruise control system, etc.

The entire model variants come standard with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that is good for 245PS and 390 N·m of peak torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, part of variants will carry separable four-wheel-drive system (photo source: Lincoln's WeChat account).
