虽然林肯在今年的纽约车展发布了Aviator，但这实际上是一辆概念车。上月，林肯设计主管DavidWoodhouse证实，量产版与纽约车展亮相的概念车几乎一样。最近谍照记者拍到的照片证实林肯确实在开发Aviator SUV。不过，该车作为2020款车型要等到明年才会亮相，因此林肯还有大量的时间对该车进行仔细打磨。概念车从内到外采用的设计元素已经出现在更大的领航员身上。Aviator 采用了车厂全新的D6平台，未来包括探险者在内的福特家族其他车型也将采用该平台。新平台可容纳包括全驱，前驱和后驱多个行驶机构。不过，Aviator将提供后驱和全驱。虽然Woodhouse证实该车量产版外观与概念车非常相似，但动力传动系统细节目前仍不清楚。概念车采用的是混动系统，涵盖V6双涡轮引擎和一台电机，可提供“比很多超跑还优异的道路行驶性能”。不过，概念车并未提供充电接口，因此量产版很有可能标配汽油引擎。或者，车厂也有可能推出感应无线充电系统。
2020 Lincoln Aviator Spied Wearing Useless Camouflage
While the Lincoln Aviator displayed at the 2018 New York Auto Show looks ready for production; it’s actually a concept. Last month, Lincoln design boss David Woodhouse confirmed the production model is nearly identical to the concept displayed in New York.
These spy photos do more to confirm Lincoln’s continued development on the Aviator SUV than to prove anything new regarding design. With the Aviator not expected to hit the market until sometime in 2019 as a 2020 model, there’s plenty of time for Lincoln to refine its new offering. The concept, both inside and out, features design elements found on its well-received and larger sibling the Navigator.
The Aviator rides on the automaker’s all-new D6 platform, which will underpin future Ford vehicles such as the Explorer. The platform allows for several running gear configurations including all-wheel, front-wheel, and rear-wheel drive. However, the Aviator will offer both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. While Woodhouse confirmed the Aviator would look very similar to its concept, details on the powertrain remain unknown. The concept had a hybrid powertrain, pairing a biturbo V6 and electric motor to make it “mightier than many supercars on the road today.” However, the concept did not have a charge port opening for a plug, so the production version could only come with standard gasoline-powered engines. Or, maybe, the automaker is thinking of introducing wireless charging.
