Could have called the video "Did you know you can buy a NEW Lincoln Zephyr in 2022?" because that in itself is the wildest thing. Most people haven't heard of that in decades.
America's flagship luxury sedan available only in China, gotta love it. Not going to stop me from going through the process of getting one shipped and to me in the U.S. and registered. I've worked in customs and it honestly doesn't cost that much compared to what you're paying for the vehicle itself.
Good luck, even if you work in Customs. Unlike Europe where you can import cars and just make minor changes and pay import taxes, in the U.S. you have to do crash tests and homologate the vehicle. You can probably buy a new Rolls Royce for less than the process would cost you.
A lot of Americans im hearing going to do that, whoever got that money. They going to get that car shipped over here. You will see that car on the road here eventually.
All of these videos on this channel are high quality. I love the presentation style and unique models we never get to see in North America. Please keep making more videos. I enjoy watching these a lot. Well done.
That's the nicest interior Lincoln ever made. If only you could add the CONTINENTAL'S multi-way massage multicontour seats and then make the Continental the size of THE MERCEDES S-CLASS. The problem with Lincoln's cars is THEY WERE TOO DAMN SMALL. The MKC, Corsair and MKX easily killed off the MKZ and MKS/ Continental in sales.
Have you seen 80’s and 90’s red interior from Ford and Lincoln/Mercury? Look closely similar.🤮 (Except screen dashboard) . I do Agee with everything else said! 🍻
To be fair the MKZ was getting a little bit old with it being introduced in 2013. This version would have probably sparked more sales because it’s all new.
I enjoy watching your videos, especially when they showcase vehicles from companies that sell cars in North America. I thought this vehicle looked like a last gun Hyundai Elantra from the side. Cheers.
Thanks for the review for U.S. viewers, and count me among those who are perplexed why the American automakers so quickly abandoned this segment. I mean if Hyundai can still sell sedans in the U.S., then why in the world can’t Ford?! Anyway, the Zephyr seems like a very interesting product that would be compelling in the USDM. As a sedan consumer myself, shame on Ford for their shortsighted thinking.
It would seem that Ford can't meet emissions requirements, and make a profit. they would have to spend money on research and development; which is a gamble they chose not to take. Not sure if Hyundai is even making gas only sedans, or if they are just that cheap.
I definitely saw Audi A7 immediately - but the A7 is probably my favorite sedan design ever. So, I really like this Lincoln and I can't help but think that Ford is run by idiots for only selling trucks/SUVs/vans/Mustangs in the US.

Growing up as a kid/teen in 80s&90s my parents always did Ford Lincoln/Mercury products. There was a time that Lincoln seemed to be the quite kid at the Luxury table. Getting strange looks from Audi,BMW,Mercedes, Infiniti, Acura, Lexus,Volvo etc. I do like the look of this, although the back end of the car is giving me KIA styling vibes. I know here in the states everyone is turning to SUV's. Although I drive a 2018 Camry, alot of my friends and coworkers have asked me , if I would consider an SUV. Its almost like a cult following. Coupes are obsolete now, my mother had a '89 Mercury Cougar and my Aunt a '90 Chevy Beretta. Station wagons are insult and don't get me started on Mini Vans. The years of the 80s&90s A-Team Vans are Dinosaurs, here in the States. SUV are the way to go i guess 🤦♂️😄
I am a sedan / Coupe guy ; and it's absolutely insulting that forward and Lincoln in North America are not still building not only the Continental but also the Ford Fusion and the MKZ/zephyr model here. . Ford like It's Detroit rivals should NEVER have Abandoned the sedan market . A Americanized version of the current Ford Mondeo and This Lincoln Zephyr are models that could have still sold well in the states ; there is still a market (Now admittedly smaller) market of buyers who would like and prefer a affordable luxury "Sporty" sedan to drive .. Instead. Of an unexciting uninspiring SUV or Crossover !!!. Yes crossovers and SUVs seem to be the rage nowadays but there are still a lot of people like me who still want an actual car to drive and enjoy. Detroit is clueless.
This is the infotainment design I've been waiting on. At last, the passenger can stop staring at the boring dashboard and at least have some of the wide screen lights and info to look at directly in front of them. I've been wondering who would come up with it first and why it hadn't been done yet. Always thought Lexus would achieve this first but I guess not. Ford/Lincoln it is and not even sold here. Smh
At $37k for a base model to $50k that is an absolute steal for a premium car in the US. Huge amount of leg room in the back. -Huge deal for Chinese market.
I was a Ford Loyalist but Ford & Lincoln disappointed me so bad that I traded in my 2018 Ford Fusion Platinum and went to Honda. I do not want a crossover! Ford/Lincoln really let the US down
It just bites that an American car is only sold in China!! What about Americans -- I own a MKZ and love it but would definitely upgrade to the Zephyr without a doubt!! Why they do their own country like that??
Question, based on theory that sedans haven't been selling well in the US, how come Honda, Mazda, KIA & Hyundai seem to be going full speed ahead with these? I always see plenty of their sedans.I Cadillac is hanging in their with their small & mid-sized CT4 & CT5 sedans, though their Achilles heal remains at the Cadillac Plant, not producing or delivering cars to meet demands. 6 months or longer wait on a new car build is borderline unacceptable. If this is the example, we're our own worst enemy!
Unfortunately Mazda axed the 6. I’ve got a 2018 6, recently had it in the service and was given a 2022 CX-5 signature as a loaner. As I’ve said before a compact SUV is easier to load kids and cargo into, but I wasn’t impressed by the choppy ride the short wheelbase delivered. At the end of the day I was happy to get back into my far comfier and markedly more fuel efficient mid size sedan. Even though I’m back to stooping when I strap in my daughter. Maybe the next one will have to be a Camry.
I always say Lincoln is the quintessential premium Sedan of all cars. Since way back. And fyi Audi coupe jacked the same lines of a Ford Mustang if you ever notice. Ford is humble so luxury brands feel they can take bits and little pieces of how Lincoln wows without being a Benz. If that car comes here tho it will start at 70k flat lol
This car should be sold here. I would have called it the Lincoln Futura (after the concept car that was made into the 1960s Batmobile). The Zephyr name fits more with Mercury than Lincoln.
loved my MKZ sucked that they quit providing it here in the states, had the hybrid which was really good. although I wanted the last gen with the 3.0 awd ecoboost.
Suggestion for a video in case a car like that even exists in China: Any car model that has a solar roof. In Germany we have two models which can be solar charged that will start production in 2023: XBus and Sono Sion. I tried to find something similar on the Chinese market, but couldn't. But i also can't read or write mandarin, so i might just have missed it. If there is anything like that from China, it would be nice to see. It would appear strange to me, if there isn't something like that in China yet, as China is one of the most advanced countries when it's about EVs or solar tech.
the day that you review the new avatr 011, could you please take a ruler with you and measure the ground clearance of that car please? I would be soooo greatful if you can do it, for a couple of reasons!
The Continental would have been successful if it actually was up to the standard of a S class or G90 …. It should have been a BEV with range extender, only LWB with power coach doors
No, it would be more costly to build, and sell even less in China or US because the brand recognition is just not there any more! Even Lexus LS is falling behind to its german rivals in terms of sales number and popularity from what I see here in China.
I think that US market prefers SUV more and more recent years...But Chinese love sudan, most Ford, Cadilac are bought buy Chinese(I bought a Mondeo several years ago,I love it)
They could’ve at least made a select few for the US. Kinda like they did with the coach door editions. This, and the Mondeo I think would’ve sold well in the states
This is a English speaking channel primarily for non Chinese audience. So USD prices make more sense. If Chinese audience want to watch the review of this particular car. Most likely they will turn to the Chinese speaking channel. So USD pricing reference I believe is totally relevant.
@@vincentlu36 it's an English channel reviewing cars sold in China for views in, America?. The prices have been converted to USD which doesn't represent the world and can vary on the exchange rate. My suggestion is, give the RMB as well as the USD, this allows people in the other countries to convert themselves. It's an honest suggestion but ultimately its your channel and you can do as you wish 🙏
Looks nice, but I’m not missing anything.. that grille really lets down the whole exterior design, and that big screen with that steering wheel would have me worried that I wouldn’t be able to see over the dashboard, plus has me worried my arms would be too close to the steering wheel.. aside from all that, it looks very nice, plus side, lots of room in the second row.
Chinese customers dont really care about whats under the hood or anything relate to the mechanical performance of the car. They only care about how comfort it is and how pretty the interior is. This car might look beautiful but the driving experience can be bad
@Zack Smith it’s true. Chinese market has the 250hp version 718. 1.5T version Mercedes C class. 2.0T S class and 7 series. What do you expect from this Lincoln?
I really like the 2017-20 MKZ 3.0t (400hp) Better … The Zephyr is okay.. 4.5/10 Don’t like the full dashboard screens OR the 2.0L sole engine Or Full Frontal LED bar. I’m glad it’s China market vehicle. Even the USA Lincoln Corsair has engine option for AWD 2.3L ecoboost (295hp 310TQ)🇺🇸 {219kw 420NM}
The sleek design is ruined by the fake air vents on the sides below the side-view mirrors.....they absolutely DESTROY the lines. The Mondeo looks far better.
I currently drive a 2015 MKZ and I LOVE it. I've been a loyal Ford customer my whole automotive life. On that note, Ford / Lincoln are doing a lot of damage to their brands by not offering sedans anymore. Now their loyal customers are angry with them and going over to other brands. My next sedan will most likely be a BMW.
I drive a Lincoln MKZ in the US. An excellent car that gets great mileage with the 2.0L Ecoboost. As it gets older and more miles on it, I'm wondering what I might buy to replace it someday. I've seen the new Fusion model sold by Ford in Asia markets. Love it. Want one. But this Lincoln Zephyr, with all the cheap looking black trim ..... I would not buy. I won't pay a premium price for a vehicle that looks like a base model, with trim painted over in black by a high school shop class. I don't care how much gee-wiz tech garbage they cram in it, I don't want to be seen in such a dull looking vehicle. Plus, tail end looks too much like a Chrysler 200 to me, not like a Lincoln.
I set the temperature in my vehicle once and leave it on the auto setting. Someone needs to show these car review people how to do that because I never use the button after I touch it once.
Americans should ask why is this beautiful American car not being sold here. I love Japanese cars but this is really weird speaking about Lincoln’s in China same with Buick.
What a shame that they pulled sedans from the US market. This is a great looking car.
Lincoln’s cars were too small, too expensive, and were being outsold by crossovers.
This is just a Ford Fusion, but like $14K more expensive than a Fusion....

Is there a reason you guys don't give the prices in RMB? USD is useful but having the RMB price would be helpful. Just a suggestion.🤝
This is a English speaking channel primarily for non Chinese audience. So USD prices make more sense.
If Chinese audience want to watch the review of this particular car. Most likely they will turn to the Chinese speaking channel. So USD pricing reference I believe is totally relevant.
@@vincentlu36 it's an English channel reviewing cars sold in China for views in, America?. The prices have been converted to USD which doesn't represent the world and can vary on the exchange rate. My suggestion is, give the RMB as well as the USD, this allows people in the other countries to convert themselves. It's an honest suggestion but ultimately its your channel and you can do as you wish 🙏
It’s a damn shame we can’t get this in the US
Looks nice, but I’m not missing anything.. that grille really lets down the whole exterior design, and that big screen with that steering wheel would have me worried that I wouldn’t be able to see over the dashboard, plus has me worried my arms would be too close to the steering wheel.. aside from all that, it looks very nice, plus side, lots of room in the second row.
Wish I could have this car in the states.
Reminds me of the Toyota crown
great looking car.
Thanks for the feedback

50k usd sounds a bit too high for this car. why not go for a bev if confort is the goal?
Yep,In China,I would choose Audi A4
30万人民币，这个价位林肯很尴尬，这个价位奔驰C，奥迪A4，不过咋说呢，喜欢林肯的不在乎
Just lifted one inch or two put some body cladding and it's American Market ready
I can't shake the Kia look of it.
I'll be wearing my sunglasses during night drive.
Looks better than MKZ!!
Maybe I'm nitpicking, but at 1:53 and 2:02 I see misaligned panel gaps and accent parts that don't look great on the likes of a Lincoln.
If you have owned a lincoln you would know not to slam the trunk. linconls are either self closing or soft closing. We need this model in the U.S.
Chinese customers dont really care about whats under the hood or anything relate to the mechanical performance of the car. They only care about how comfort it is and how pretty the interior is. This car might look beautiful but the driving experience can be bad
@Zack Smith it’s true. Chinese market has the 250hp version 718. 1.5T version Mercedes C class. 2.0T S class and 7 series. What do you expect from this Lincoln?
No
some angles it reminds me of the arteon! that’s good!
Ford Zephyr we did get in limited numbers .
Literally looks like a Ford Focus sedan frame. Could see why. The old towncars still looked more stately and respectable.
Lincoln’s problem is they can’t differentiate from Ford but, bringing the zephyr to the US would’ve solved that problem.
There's a lot to like about this car, but I'd like to see that screen go away when it's not being used. Just have it display some lovely wood.

I really like the 2017-20 MKZ 3.0t (400hp) Better …
The Zephyr is okay.. 4.5/10
Don’t like the full dashboard screens OR the 2.0L sole engine Or Full Frontal LED bar.
I’m glad it’s China market vehicle.
Even the USA Lincoln Corsair has engine option for AWD 2.3L ecoboost (295hp 310TQ)🇺🇸
{219kw 420NM}
The sleek design is ruined by the fake air vents on the sides below the side-view mirrors.....they absolutely DESTROY the lines. The Mondeo looks far better.
The front - Skoda Octavia (2022)
The back - Peugeot 508
The bottom - 4 wheels
Sheesh! This is a beautiful car.
This needs to be a 2 door in the states
Same with Buick, I think they have a couple passenger cars for there but not here. I think I would rather have a Cadillac CT 4
I would still buy a 2020 Continental Lincoln
Why in China
The back is flat out stolen from Audi. Yeesh. But great review, buddy. Great review.
Seeing a lot of kia K5 in the profile! Thx
I currently drive a 2015 MKZ and I LOVE it. I've been a loyal Ford customer my whole automotive life. On that note, Ford / Lincoln are doing a lot of damage to their brands by not offering sedans anymore. Now their loyal customers are angry with them and going over to other brands. My next sedan will most likely be a BMW.
Ford now is a Ford Ranger company at least in Australia where Ford Ranger almost accounts for 90% of its total sales.
2:54 Looked cheap too!
I don't want a Lincoln SUV/CUV. I want a proper Lincoln touring sedan/coupe. Damn you China/Ford
I heared it is only for china market
Lincoln-Zephyr becomes Chinese market-only car.
Looks like an Audi 4-series with Audi 7-series (or Peugeot, for that matter) taillights.
I drive a Lincoln MKZ in the US. An excellent car that gets great mileage with the 2.0L Ecoboost. As it gets older and more miles on it, I'm wondering what I might buy to replace it someday.
I've seen the new Fusion model sold by Ford in Asia markets. Love it. Want one.
But this Lincoln Zephyr, with all the cheap looking black trim ..... I would not buy. I won't pay a premium price for a vehicle that looks like a base model, with trim painted over in black by a high school shop class. I don't care how much gee-wiz tech garbage they cram in it, I don't want to be seen in such a dull looking vehicle. Plus, tail end looks too much like a Chrysler 200 to me, not like a Lincoln.
I set the temperature in my vehicle once and leave it on the auto setting. Someone needs to show these car review people how to do that because I never use the button after I touch it once.

Americans should ask why is this beautiful American car not being sold here. I love Japanese cars but this is really weird speaking about Lincoln’s in China same with Buick.
How do I drive from China to the US?
Just import it from China 🇨🇳.
Can an American buy this in China and have it shipped to the States?
Yeah
Nope!
No the United States has a 25-year minimum import law.
…I kinda like this car
Add a Hybrid and look out Lexus … What are they thinking !??? OH , that’s right … They are not !
If the US market ever got a Lincoln like this, it would sell. Lincoln gave us boring looking cars, which is why buyers went to the competition.
Peugeot 508 by lincoln
In design
It's disgusting that Lincoln sells sedans only in China.
The hell with Lincoln.
I'm buying a Cadillac CT 5
