Where is the Lincoln car brand from?
1 Answers
Lincoln is an American brand, a luxury vehicle under the renowned American automobile company Ford. Here is more information about Lincoln: 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 vehicles have been chosen as presidential cars by the White House due to their outstanding performance, elegant styling, and unparalleled comfort. The most famous model is the parade car used by President Kennedy. 3. As a premium automotive brand, Lincoln currently offers only five models in China: the Lincoln MKZ and Continental in the sedan segment, and the Lincoln MKC, MKX, and Navigator in the SUV segment. 4. Lincoln's sales in China have been growing rapidly. However, in 2018, Lincoln encountered a setback. Data showed that Lincoln's cumulative sales in China for the first quarter of 2018 reached 12,710 units, a 10% year-on-year increase. 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's sales and growth rate were nearly at the bottom. 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 shows that from 2015 to 2018, Lincoln issued nine recalls in total. While the frequency is not extremely high, it is certainly not low in China's automotive industry, raising concerns among domestic consumers about Lincoln's quality standards.
