Lincoln launches first China-made sedan

Lincoln has launched its first locally produced sedan, which is the fourth model the United States' premium marque is manufacturing in China.

The model, called Zephyr, is produced just for the Chinese market, but it is the result of Lincoln's teams in the US and China, said the carmaker.

Among other eye-catching features is a 1.1-meter display. Lincoln said its Co-Pilot 360 2.0 System offers driving assist capability at Level 2 and above.

The sedan, available in seven variants, has a standard 2.0-liter gas powertrain with an 8-speed transmission.

It measures 4,982 mm in length, 1,865 mm in width and 1,485 mm in height, offering extra seating space and legroom for passengers in the second row.

Lincoln sold 91,000 vehicles in China last year, up 48 percent from 2020, as one of the fastest-growing premium marques in the Chinese market.
