Lincoln Continental Concept

Reinterpreting the concept of "quiet luxury", the Continental Concept blends technology with exquisite craftsmanship to offer drivers more comfort and passengers more relaxation.

Signaling the arrival of a new face, the concept car is powered by a Lincoln-exclusive 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost engine which is complemented by Drive Control and Adaptive Steering.

New technology is a hallmark of the vehicle, with innovative new features appearing from the powerful LED matrix headlamps with laserassist high beams to signature full-width tail lamps. Inside are the brand's sensual materials, including Venetian leather seats and door panels, Alcantara seat inserts and armrests, rose gold trim and a shearling wool carpet.

The rear seats are designed for greater privacy. From the position of the passengers, who can move front-seat passengers forward with the touch of a button, to the SPD SmartGlass which allows rear-seat passengers to instantly tint the windows (and block 99 percent of UV rays).

Lincoln MKX

The new MKX further strengthens Lincoln's position in the global medium-large sized premium utility segment, complementing the MKC introduced in late 2014. Inspired by the beauty of modern aircraft, the sport utility vehicle has a contemporary exterior design and well-balanced proportions.

The spacious SUV boasts class-leading dimensions and interior cabin space, including unparalleled rearseat legroom and headroom. The exclusive Revel audio system, used for the first time in an auto, leads a suite of new available features and technologies designed to enhance and personalize the luxury experience. Two engine options are offered, to deliver 250kW of power and 542Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with push-button shift and SelectShift.

The body structure, chassis components, and the integral link rear suspension make this new model the best-handling, best-riding and quietest Lincoln MKX ever. The MKX is now available for pre-sale with list prices ranging from 479,000 yuan ($77,229) to 689,000 yuan with vehicles scheduled to arrive in Lincoln Stores in the second half of 2015.

Lincoln Navigator

The Navigator has long been one of the brand's most iconic models, embodying the world-class design and intuitive, innovative technology that sets Lincoln apart. The sleeker front end of the newly unveiled Navigator includes a newly designed hood while the interior of the vehicle seats up to eight people comfortably and delivers segment-leading cargo volume.

A new 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged EcoBoost engine can deliver torque of up to 582Nm. The Lincoln Drive Control provides a smoother ride and electric power-assisted steering improves handling.

With the debut of this full-size luxury SUV, the entire family of Lincoln SUVs has now been introduced to China. The Navigator will arrive in China in the latter half of this year, once again reinforcing Lincoln's commitment to providing luxury automobiles to Chinese consumers.

These three all-new vehicles will be showcased at Auto Shanghai 2015 alongside the entirety of the Lincoln lineup, including the Lincoln MKC, Lincoln MKZ and the Lincoln Presidential Series that were introduced last year.
