Today’s Chinese car market can be described as a "two-fold sky of ice and fire". On the one hand, the sales of new luxury brands such as Ideal and Ask World have risen one after another, and on the other hand, the sales of traditional luxury brands such as Lincoln and BMW have declined. According to the latest sales data, Lincoln sold only 4,260 cars in China in August. Although it has increased slightly compared with 3,916 cars in August last year, it is still at a low level.

From January to August this year, Lincoln’s cumulative sales in China were only 35,299 vehicles, with an average monthly sales volume of less than 4,500 vehicles. Compared with the sales in January to August last year, the sales volume fell by 11.8% year-on-year. According to this trend, Lincoln’s sales in China this year will experience three consecutive declines, casting a shadow over the development prospects of the entire brand in China.

This sales situation has made Jia Mingdi, the new head of Lincoln Motor in China, much questioned by the outside world. Jia Mingdi succeeded Zhu Meijun as president of Lincoln China in April this year. Before that, he had been working for SAIC Motor Group, and successively served as the general manager of SAIC Volkswagen Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and the general manager of SAIC Audi brand business department. Jia Mingdi once led SAIC Volkswagen to become the first car company in China to break through 2 million sales, and won the title of passenger car sales in China for four consecutive years. It can be seen that its ability is not too big a problem.

During this year’s Chengdu auto show, Jia Mingdi told the media: "Lincoln pursues high-quality sales, does not rely on sales figures to determine success or failure, and does not participate in price wars." Such a statement was interpreted by the outside world as being unable to recover sales. After all, as the head of the company, Jia Mingdi is responsible for sales and profits. But the problem of Lincoln’s car is not a day cold. Jia Mingdi has only been in office for more than four months. Even if he takes a strong medicine, it may not be effective immediately.

Lincoln Motor is actually an old friend of Chinese consumers. It has entered China through parallel imports as early as the 1980s, but it withdrew in 2008 due to dismal sales. Lincoln Motor made a comeback in 2014, just in time for the growth boom of China’s auto market. In 2016 and 2017, sales reached 32,600 and 54,100 vehicles, respectively, an increase of 179.95% and 66.24%. In 2018, Lincoln Motor took advantage of the heat and established a joint venture with Changan Automobile to establish Changan Lincoln, officially starting the process of domestic production in China.

In the next few years, Lincoln’s sales in China continued to grow, climbing from 55,300 in 2018 to 91,600 in 2021. But in 2022, Lincoln suddenly encountered Waterloo, and the annual sales fell sharply to 79,300, a decline of 13.43%. This is not the end. In 2023, Lincoln’s sales in China further declined, only 73,000.

When Mao Jingbo was president of Lincoln China, through a series of marketing and product planning, Lincoln’s car sales in China achieved continuous growth, but with Mao Jingbo’s departure, Lincoln’s car sales immediately declined, and the new coach Zhu Meijun failed to stop the decline, and then Jia Mingdi took office. From the current situation, Jia Mingdi is quite a firefighter, but today’s Lincoln cars can be described as "difficult to return", Jia Mingdi’s prescription has not yet worked.

Lincoln Motor’s current sales difficulties in China have a lot to do with its product structure. Although it is undeniable that the rise of new power car companies has taken a part of the traditional fuel vehicle market share, the more intense the competition, the more you can see the strength of a car company. Lincoln Motor itself has many shortcomings, which no one can detect when it is downwind, but when it is downwind, these shortcomings will accelerate the decline of Lincoln Motor.

Lincoln’s current models on sale have been around for some years, and they urgently need to be improved in terms of product strength. Moreover, Lincoln is currently selling mainly fuel vehicles. Today, with the popularity of new energy, Lincoln still does not have a pure electric model that can be played, which is somewhat incredible. Compared with traditional car companies such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volvo, Lincoln’s transformation speed is relatively slow, let alone compared with Chinese car companies.

Jia Mingdi’s past record is very good, and his ability has long been proved, but at Lincoln Motors, there is no sign of making a big deal. As for the reason, as outsiders, we have no way of knowing, but from Jia Mingdi’s "I also want to open" statement, it is not easy to change this long-established traditional luxury brand.

　　On November 6, the 2022 Beijing Marathon was successfully completed at the Olympic Park. Although this year’s North Malaysia did not invite foreign elite runners to participate, it still attracted tens of thousands of marathon enthusiasts to participate, and the excitement was not reduced at all. Friends familiar with the marathon know that this is a very popular long-distance running event in the world. It requires not only speed but also endurance. Only by combining both can you achieve the desired results.

　　If marathons test people’s speed and endurance, then long-distance travel tests the comprehensive strength of the car. Especially in today’s high oil prices, a vehicle with excellent fuel economy will definitely save you a lot of car costs and make your long-distance travel a good mood. So, in today’s car market, is there such a "luxury car" with both power and endurance? The answer is yes, it is FAW Toyota Crown Land Rover.

　　Crown Land is the first SUV after the renewal of the FAW Toyota Crown brand, positioning the flagship seven-seat SUV of static luxury and dynamic. Built on the TNGA-K platform, it is equipped with Toyota’s world-leading new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, which allows it to achieve a perfect balance between strong power and economical fuel consumption, while also bringing a driving experience that is completely comparable to a fuel car.

　　When it comes to Toyota’s HEV hybrid system, I believe many people have heard the saying that "there are only two kinds of hybrid in the world, one is Toyota and the other is other". Although many people believe that Toyota has only one hybrid system, no matter how the model changes, its essence will not change, but it is because of this essence of "unchanged for ten thousand years" that it has achieved the perfect combination of power and economy.

　　According to statistics, from the first generation of Prius in 1997 to the present, Toyota’s various electrified models have sold more than 20 million vehicles worldwide, and for 25 years, Toyota’s hybrid Sandian technology has been stable and reliable, and still maintains a record of "0" battery accidents. So, what are the technical advantages of the new generation TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system carried by the Crown Land Display?

　　Extreme hybrid, efficient and fuel-saving

　　With the support of the TNGA architecture, the Crown Land Amplifier is equipped with a new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, which integrates small, lightweight, and high-efficiency technologies, greatly improving fuel economy and power performance. At the same time, it efficiently integrates the engine, motor, and battery to work together, achieving improvements in acceleration response, tranquility, and other aspects, resulting in smooth driving control and a comfortable driving experience.

　　Among them, the TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine, through the use of laser cladding valve seat technology, D-4S high-pressure direct injection cylinder, low-pressure manifold injection system composed of hybrid injection system, VVT-iE intelligent electric variable valve timing intake system and other technologies, achieved a world-class 41% thermal efficiency, can provide 141 kW/192 horsepower maximum power and 238 Nm peak torque, at the same time, the front motor can provide 134 kW maximum power and 270 Nm torque output, making the system comprehensive power can reach 183 kW, the power performance of the whole hybrid system is quite outstanding.

　　And to match it is a new generation of E-CVT continuously variable transmission, the power output is more linear and smoother, bringing surging power while further reducing fuel consumption. According to official data, the crown land-mounted four-wheel drive version has a comprehensive low of 5.8L/100km, and the two-wheel drive version is only 5.3L/100km. This fuel consumption performance is enough to make your car have super endurance like a sweaty BMW on a long journey – "travel thousands of miles a day without going to the gas station".

　　Of course, the core technology of Toyota’s hybrid is the PSD (Power Split Device) known as the "hybrid artifact". This technology has established Toyota’s dominance in the hybrid field since it was patented in 1997. Compared with other hybrid systems that use the clutch structure for power transmission, the PSD can adjust the different rotational speeds of each component through the precise control of the PCU to achieve infinitely variable speed and power output input. The flexibility of smoothness and transmission is difficult to replace with other hybrid systems.

　　Quiet and smooth, the driving feeling is comparable to that of a car

　　In daily driving, this hybrid system provides two driving modes, namely EV (pure electric) and hybrid drive. In the start-up and urban congestion stages, the intelligent hybrid system will take the lead in using electricity to drive the vehicle, that is, EV pure electric mode, resulting in a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

　　As the vehicle speed increases, when the vehicle enters the economic cruise mode, the hybrid system operating mode is turned on, and the traditional gasoline power is involved at the same time. When the engine runs at high speed, the output energy may be excessive, and the motor in the system can convert the excess energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery, leaving the most fuel-consuming stage to the motor to complete, and the fuel consumption will naturally drop significantly.

　　When you need some excitement, Crown Land is not stingy with its own power. A total of three electric motors on the front and rear axles work at the same time as the gasoline engine to output maximum power. At this moment, the acceleration of Crown Land is like a sports car, with a continuous stream of linear and powerful power output, which is full of movement.

　　It is worth mentioning that the Crown Land Displacement uses a new type of E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system. Compared with the traditional four-wheel drive system, the Crown Land Displacement uses a rear axle independent motor for more direct power transmission, and has absolute structural advantages in terms of fuel economy, control accuracy, power distribution range, and space utilization.

　　In addition, the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system equipped with the Crown Land Rover significantly increases the rear wheel output torque while driving, increasing the rear wheel torque distribution ratio (front and rear torque 100:0~ 20:80), achieving more accurate power output ratio control, allowing users to experience the ultimate driving pleasure.

　　Of course, in addition to the pleasure of driving, the Crown Land Release also provides users with a comfortable and quiet driving environment. The 5-meter-plus heroic body makes the Crown Land Release have a comfortable and spacious cockpit that exceeds the same level, especially the sliding distance of 180mm in the second row of seats, which allows the second and third rows to have more abundant adjustment space, allowing the Crown Land Release to easily cope with the riding needs of different families.

　　In terms of tranquility, the front windshield and main and passenger windows of the Crown Land are made of soundproof glass, which greatly reduces the noise transmission during driving. At the same time, polymer vibration-absorbing and sound-absorbing materials are used in many parts of the body to maximize the blocking of noise sources and provide a more quiet driving environment for the occupants in the car. Plus the new generation of Toyota Safety Sense standard in the whole series, Toyota Smart Safety allows you to enjoy a worry-free ride.

　　Write at the end

　　In summary, the 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system carried by the Crown Land Range has many advantages over competitors in both power and fuel economy. The blessing of the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive allows it to have better handling and high-quality driving texture. Coupled with a quiet driving environment and a spacious and comfortable riding space, it is indeed a high-quality and cost-effective choice worthy of hybrid model consumers.

Recently, Geely Galaxy L6 conducted its first performance test at the IDIADA China Proving Ground in Zhaoyuan, Shandong. In six subjects such as 100-kilometer acceleration, high-loop speed, and wetland control, Geely Galaxy L6 relies on the high-performance and high-control genes given by the e-CMA intelligent electric hybrid architecture, the new generation of Raytheon electric hybrid engine B-Plus and the 3-speed variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro, and integrates the leading technical advantages of electrification and intelligence. It has achieved excellent results such as 6.3 seconds 100-kilometer acceleration, 247km/h high-loop speed, and 80km/h wetland emergency hedging. The overall mechanical quality and driving performance far exceed the joint venture of the same level, which is comparable to the 300,000 luxury car, demonstrating the high-quality driving control strength of the "new generation of all-purpose electric hybrid sedan".

100 kilometers acceleration of 6.3s, high ring speed of 247km/h, power performance far exceeds the same level

Geely Galaxy L6 is equipped with a new generation of Raytheon hybrid engine B-plus, which has achieved the highest thermal efficiency of 44.26% mass production, with a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 255N · m.

Matched with the new generation of 3-speed variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro, it has the strongest global three-speed structure technology in the same class and the advantages of P1 + P2 dual motor overclocking drive, bringing high torque, high integration and high efficiency. The transmission efficiency is as high as 97.5%. The comprehensive maximum power of the system reaches 287kw, and the comprehensive maximum torque of the system is 535N · m. The overall performance level is comparable to that of the 300,000-class "B B A" luxury car.

In the actual acceleration test, the electric hybrid system of Geely Galaxy L6 accelerates quickly, responds quickly, and has strong explosive power. When starting, it matches the large speed ratio of 1st gear, and the starting acceleration capacity enhancement is 50%. When deeply stepping on the throttle, the P1 motor can assist the drive, and can also realize the ejection start. 0.11s can produce a sense of push back, and 0.26 seconds can output the maximum torque of the electric drive, releasing more kinetic energy reserves. The measured 0-100km/h acceleration is only 6.3s, surpassing the German luxury sedan in the same field.

In the 80-120km/h acceleration test stage, the 3-speed variable frequency electric drive DHT Pro equipped with Geely Galaxy L6 is the only one in the world that can achieve full-speed domain parallel connection. At speeds above 20km/h, you can enter the full-speed domain parallel mode. At speeds above 80km/h, you can switch from 3 gears to 2 gears, releasing 2680N · m wheel torque. The on-site measured 80-120km/h acceleration achieved an outstanding result of 3.7 seconds, far ahead of the on-site joint venture and German luxury cars.

In the high-speed subject test, under the blessing of Geely’s original "global third gear", Geely Galaxy L6 can output strong power at full speed. The new Raytheon hybrid engine B-Plus releases all power reserves, making Geely Galaxy L6 the first to enter the 49 ° inclination bend with a super-predecessor position. During the continuous acceleration process, Geely Galaxy L6 with an ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.26cd broke through the speed limit again, entering the fourth lane of the outer ring at a maximum speed of 247km/h, leading the German joint venture products of the same level from beginning to end. With such a sensory intelligent electric hybrid high-texture driving experience, Geely Galaxy L6 is a unique existence in the electric hybrid market within 200,000.

The wetland emergency avoidance performance reaches 80km/h, which is comparable to the luxurious high-quality driving control of the German department

As we all know, the Elk test is an important subject that tests the comprehensive performance of the vehicle chassis, and it is an important manifestation of the vehicle’s risk avoidance ability. Therefore, the test has high requirements for steering sensitivity and chassis stability. This time, Geely Galaxy L6 broke the routine and chose a higher standard and more difficult wetland emergency risk avoidance test. Finally, it passed the best 80km/h in the audience, demonstrating excellent driving control quality and chassis skills.

The reason why the Geely Galaxy L6 has the strength and confidence to challenge higher difficulties is due to the top professional deep chassis adjustment in China and Europe, which can maintain good tracking in the process of dynamic obstacle avoidance. Coupled with the exclusive tires developed with a new concept, it brings excellent tire grip, which makes the Geely Galaxy L6 more stable in the body posture during the actual measurement process, more confident in driving control, and shows a higher level of driving control strength. At the same time, the Geely Galaxy L6 also has the strongest 29100N · m/deg torsional stiffness in the same class, higher driving stability, and is equipped with a more advanced DP-EPS power steering system with speed. It has the advantages of high transmission ratio, high responsiveness, and more accurate operation. It takes into account the light steering at low speed and the smoothness at high speed.

In addition, in the NVH + bumpy test, Geely Galaxy L6 once again demonstrated its exquisite driving control quality. The optimization and adjustment of the Central European team strives for excellence, suppresses noise generation from the source, optimizes the silent performance of starting, idling, accelerating and uniform speed all working conditions, and effectively filters and optimizes vibration on undulating and bumpy roads to ensure driving comfort. The NVH performance of the whole vehicle exceeds that of first-line luxury brands. At the same time, Geely Galaxy L6 also has track-level braking strength with fast braking, more linearity, strong strength and low attenuation. The braking distance of 100 kilometers is only 36.5m., which is not only ahead of the joint venture car of the same level, but also better than the 300,000 luxury car.

With the appearance of 150,000-200,000 A-class cars, comparable to luxury driving control, Geely Galaxy L6 makes the ultimate power performance and high-quality driving control within reach. Through six dynamic tests, Geely Galaxy L6 demonstrates the hardcore strength of the "new generation of all-round electric hybrid family sedan" with extreme power performance and excellent driving control quality, and redefines the new generation of driving control experience standards that "high speed is really high, strong risk avoidance is really strong, fast cornering is really fast, stable filter shock is really stable, and excellent filter noise is really excellent".
