1 Answers
Lincoln is a luxury car brand under the renowned American automobile company Ford. Here is more information about Lincoln vehicles: 1. Lincoln was founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, and the brand is named after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. 2. Since 1939, starting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lincoln cars have been selected as presidential vehicles by the White House due to their outstanding performance, elegant design, and unparalleled comfort. The most famous model is the parade car used by President John F. Kennedy. 3. As a premium automotive brand, Lincoln currently offers only five models in the Chinese market: the Lincoln MKZ and Continental in the sedan category, and the Lincoln MKC, MKX, and Navigator in the SUV segment. 4. Lincoln's sales in China have been growing rapidly, but in 2018, the brand faced a setback. Data shows that Lincoln's cumulative sales in China for the first quarter of 2018 reached 12,710 units, a 10% increase year-on-year. In comparison, Audi sold 154,270 units (up 41.9%), and Cadillac sold 55,079 units (up 39.7%). In the luxury car market, Lincoln ranked near the bottom in both sales volume and growth rate. 5. In April 2018, Lincoln issued two recall notices within a week due to steering wheel and automatic transmission issues, recalling a total of 17,959 Lincoln MKZ vehicles. Data indicates that from 2015 to 2018, Lincoln issued nine recalls in total. While the frequency is not extremely high, it is certainly not low in the domestic automotive industry, raising concerns among Chinese consumers about Lincoln's quality standards.
