That includes China, where Lincoln currently sells more vehicles than North America. Production is set to start in 2022.Ford may have stopped selling sedans in North America, but in other parts of the world, those types of vehicles are alive and well. The production version of the Lincoln Zephyr may be unveiled on the Guangzhou Auto Show in November, or, if it isn’t ready by then, on the Beijing Auto Show next April. So for now, we expect that the Lincoln Zephyr will do with the same power trains as the Ford Mondeo.
In short: if it was an EV, we would have known much more about it. Ford doesn’t have an EV platform of this size, and they certainly wouldn’t develop an EV platform just for China. There has been some speculation in US media that the Zephyr would be an EV. The China-spec Mondeo is available with 1.5 turbo, 2.0 turbo, and 2.0 PHEV power trains. Hard points, basic design, and size are all the same or very similar, down to the side creases on the doors. However, the Zephyr’s body seems to have quite a lot in common with the Ford Mondeo sedan, also made by Changan Ford. Lincoln didn’t say anything about platform or powertrain. On the Shanghai Auto Show, Lincoln presented the Zephyr Reflection as a design-concept. There are no plans for export the Zephyr is a China-only model. The car was largely designed and developed in China, with the aim of mixing Chinese design and technology with American luxury. The Lincoln Zephyr is aimed at a more youthful customer segment. These are not yet allowed in China so the production car’s mirrors are of the old-school kind. The production car retains most of the concept car’s design. The Zephyr was previewed by the Lincoln Zephyr Reflection concept car that debuted on the April 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. It will be manufactured by the Changan-Ford joint venture and it appears to be based on the Ford Mondeo. The Lincoln Zephyr is a new sedan for the Chinese car market. This is the production version of the Lincoln Zephyr, unveiled by leaked patent images.
