The differences between Changan Lincoln and Lincoln lie in the size of the central control screen, ambient lighting, and drivetrain. The specific differences are as follows: The size of the central control screen differs: Changan Lincoln's central control screen is 12.8 inches; Lincoln's central control screen is 10.1 inches. The ambient lighting differs: Changan Lincoln does not come with ambient lighting; Lincoln is equipped with 7-color ambient lighting. Additionally, Changan Lincoln has removed the turn signals on the fenders, and the design of the front grille also differs from the overseas models, with changes made to the taillight design as well. The drivetrain differs: Changan Lincoln's drivetrain is front-engine, rear-wheel drive; Lincoln's drivetrain is front-engine, all-wheel drive.

I recently researched the Lincoln brand and found that the main differences between Changan Lincoln and imported Lincoln models lie in production and customization. Changan Lincoln is jointly produced in China, such as the Corsair SUV, typically priced lower with configurations better suited to local needs, like infotainment systems supporting WeChat and Baidu Maps. Most imported Lincolns are originally manufactured in the U.S., offering more stable quality but at a significantly higher price, plus tariffs and longer wait times. There are also design differences—joint venture models have better space optimization, with more spacious rear seats ideal for families. If you're budget-conscious but want luxury, Changan Lincoln is cost-effective, while purists should opt for imports. Overall, the differences boil down to value for money and localization—for daily use, the domestic version is a safe bet.

As an average car owner, I find Changan Lincoln more convenient in after-sales service, with more maintenance points and lower costs. Imported Lincolns require specialized dealership services, and parts take too long to arrive. Price-wise, joint-venture models like the Aviator are about 20% cheaper, with fuel consumption adjusted to better suit Chinese road conditions. In terms of design, Changan Lincoln interiors use more soft materials, but the engine specs are slightly weaker, while the imported versions offer faster and smoother acceleration. My recommendation is that ordinary consumers opt for the domestic version to save money and hassle, while the imported version is better suited for those with deeper pockets.

Changan Lincoln is a locally produced joint-venture vehicle, while imported Lincoln is factory-original from overseas. One is made locally, the other travels from afar – quite a difference.
