Is Changan Lincoln a Domestic or Joint Venture Vehicle?
2 Answers
Changan Lincoln is a joint venture vehicle. Below is expanded information about Changan Lincoln: Introduction to Changan Lincoln: As the first domestically produced vehicle in collaboration with Changan, the domestic version of the Lincoln Corsair remains largely consistent with its overseas counterpart, with no reduction in specifications post-domestication. The application images reveal that the new car continues to feature Lincoln's iconic front grille and full-width taillights, complemented by a silver chrome trim on the front lip, exuding a strong sense of American luxury. The new car measures 4615/1887/1630mm in size, with a wheelbase of 2711mm, positioning it as a midsize SUV. Configuration of Changan Lincoln: The power application information for the new Lincoln model indicates a 2.0T variant with a maximum power output of 248 horsepower. The transmission system is expected to be paired with an 8AT gearbox, delivering relatively outstanding performance in terms of powertrain configuration. This, combined with the large dual exhaust at the rear, creates a harmonious and enhanced overall effect.
Last year, I bought a Changan Lincoln sedan, and driving it these past few months has been a blast. It's neither purely domestic nor an import—it's a solid joint venture car, meaning it's a collaboration between China's Changan Automobile and the American Lincoln brand. Specifically, Changan handles the production line and local sales, while Lincoln contributes technology and brand design. The advantage is that the price is much cheaper than an imported Lincoln, saving about 20%, and the quality is reliable—it drives smoothly with no issues. I often discuss this in car enthusiast groups; joint venture cars hold a high market share in China, like the Honda-Dongfeng model. If you're considering a car change, these joint venture brands are worth a look—the value for money is genuinely good. The downside might be slightly pricier parts during maintenance, but overall, it's much more cost-effective.
