Overview

Lincoln Z rear

On April 21, 2021 at Auto Shanghai, Lincoln revealed the Zephyr Reflection Concept, which previewed an upcoming China-built vehicle designed to replace both the discontinued North American Lincoln MKZ and Lincoln Continental that were previously imported to the Chinese market.[3] The production Chinese Lincoln Zephyr was revealed on November 19, 2021 at Auto Guangzhou.[4][5][6]

The Lincoln Zephyr went on sale in China as the Lincoln Z in March 2022.[7]

Specifications

The Lincoln Z is powered by Changan Ford's CAF488WQC 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, with an output of 243 hp (181 kW; 246 PS) and 376 N⋅m (277 lb⋅ft) of torque, giving the car a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph). The Z uses an 8-speed automatic transmission. Unlike other large discontinued Lincolns and Ford sedan in North America that were all-wheel drive, the Chinese-made Lincoln sedan powertrain wheels only available in front-wheel drive.[5][8]

Early in 2024, the engine of the 2024MY Lincoln Z was upgraded to CAF484WQC1 to improve the vehicle's efficiency, and the Lincoln Z hybrid version equipped with the CAF484WQH1 engine and HF55 hybrid transmission were introduced.[9]
