Yeah, they seem to love old American brands. Buick is also doing well in China.

My guess is this is a Lincolnized version of the Bronco?

No I believe this is the Lincoln sized version of the explorer.

MKX/new Nautilus is the Edge, Navigator is Expedition sized, MKC is Edge and this should be explorer. Who knows for sure though.

MKC is Escape...no?

I think it is:
Navigator > Expedition
Aviator > Explorer
Nautilus > Edge
MKC > Escape

 

[jason05gt]

MKC is built on the same platform as the Ford Escape.

Sorry mistype on my phone - yes MKC is escape

Quick article from motor trend that was on my news feed this morning - specifically they saw it at the New York auto show with some more pictures:

Lincoln Aviator Concept: Five Things You Need to Know - Motor Trend

Tons of pictures in the link - https://jalopnik.com/the-2020-lincoln-aviator-has-sleek-lines-and-450-hp-1830708063

The Aviator is Lincoln’s newest mid-size, three-row SUV offering that will slot below the Navigator. Power comes from a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V6 engine. Mated to a 10-speed automatic, it makes 400 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque.

But if you get the Aviator Grand Touring, that 3.0-liter then becomes part of a hybrid powertrain. Lincoln estimates this version will make 450 HP and 600 lb-ft of torque (!) The SUV will come with a host of different drive modes (Normal, Conserve, Excite, Slippery and Deep Conditions) as well as two additional ones for the hybrid version: Pure EV and Preserve EV.

That sucker should giddy-up with the 10-speed and that motor, even without the hybrid. Wonder if you'll be able to run the electric motor as a boost to the gasser...that would be killer

Limo fleets are gunna eat this up.

 

[jason05gt]

Lincoln has been making some nice SUV's as of late. The Navi and Aviator look great both inside and out.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

OK this thing looks gangster, not sure how I missed this thread. Infinity-eqsue front and x5/rover side profile (only longer)...love it. I'm just curious how bad the depreciation will be

 

[Mook]

Front looks like a Jag, side looks like a Rover. I dig it.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

You're right, the side does look more rover than x5

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Looks awesome, interior looks stunning, and...RWD based AWD with 600tq! Amazing!

From Lincoln site - which is now live:

Electric 600 ft pounds of tq? And pretty sweet headlamps, looks a lot like what the new Audi's have

: "ADAPTIVE PIXEL LED HEADLAMPS
Shedding a little light on the situation. The Adaptive Pixel LED Headlamps apply a number of ground-breaking technologies to appropriately place light both on and off the road. At highway speeds, Speed Dependent Lighting is designed to shine light further into the distance and at slower speeds, the light array widens helping drivers to detect pedestrians and potential hazards. Adaptive Dynamic Bending Lighting uses camera technology to read road signs and lane markings to pre-illuminate where the road is heading."

28 SPEAKER REVEL STEREO - WHAT?! My wife has the 2017 Lincoln MKX and the 19 speaker revel ultima stereo is fucking amazing with something like 1,500 watts. Sometimes I just sit in the garage for a couple extra minutes...so I can't imagine this.

REVEL® ULTIMA® 3D AUDIO SYSTEM

Immerse yourself in sound. Lincoln and Revel Audio sound engineers worked together to map the cabin of the Lincoln Aviator and placed 28 speakers throughout the interior so you can enjoy a true 3D audio experience. The end result is an acoustic masterpiece that will have you experiencing sound in a new way.

Lincoln recently confirmed finalized outputs for the base and Grand Touring Aviators, and the numbers are seriously impressive. The standard V-6 Aviator makes the same 400 horsepower, but its torque number has been bumped to 415 lb-ft. The hybrid model now makes 494 horsepower—just one horsepower off the new mid-engine Corvette—and a massive 630 lb-ft of torque. That's more than a Ferrari 812 Superfast.

Thats fucking awesome!!

Now this is some hybrid tech I can agree with!

I hope the new Ford/Lincoln SUVs eat GMs profit and segment share.

So we were both kinda right on earlier discussions. Lincoln is still getting an exclusive powerplant (those power stats are impressive btw) while the 3.0tt gets trickled down to the Explorer.

 

[jason05gt]

Oh and I laugh at Cadillac's competitor the XT6. I wasn't 100% sure when Lincoln kind of did their own thing vs following the Germans, but it seems to be working very well.

 

[GG Allin]

Like most things Lincoln, they'll be $4500 in no time.

Or not....

This is a no-brainer, but a lot of the information seems to be far fetched. I don't buy the 3.0 rumor as the current gen has the old version of the 3.5L Ecoboost and the new version makes just as much power, but a lot more torque as compared to the 3.0 TT.

It will be the 3.0...

Ford will likely go with the 2.7 lol

The 3.5 is the most logical choice as it's Ford's newest and most powerful EB motor.

I don't believe the RWD packaging either.
