林肯在今年三月的纽约车展发布了飞行家原型车。该车搭载一台V6双涡轮增压引擎和插电混动系统并基于后驱平台，不过这辆车只是一辆原型车并未最终量产版。现在，谍照记者拍到了外观更接近量产版的飞行家照片。当然，该车的绝大部分车身被遮盖起来，但仍能分辨出一些线索。首先，该车的基本造型和车身尺寸与纽约车展亮相的原型车差不多，只不过不那么锐利罢了。林肯高管承诺，量产版将与原型车几乎一样。因此在伪装后面的前脸可以看到标志性的林肯车型格栅，这一点无论是更大的领航员还是飞行家原型车都一样。前大灯也与原来的原型车保留了类似的造型和大小。车尾能看到的不多，但仍能看到外延式灯条。至于车厢内，林肯尽量掩盖，但仍能看到与原型车类似的硕大平板式显示屏，其内装的系统可兼容蓝牙、导航、SyncConnect系统，移动APP，甚至更多功能。车厢内其余部分被完全掩盖。目前还不清楚飞行家量产版将于何时发布，但预计不会晚于2019年。该车很可能在明年初的北美车展亮相，随后将作为2020款车型于明年晚些时候上市。

 

2020 Lincoln Aviator Plug-In Spied With Prototype Cues

The Lincoln Aviator was a welcomed surprise when it made its debut as a prototype at the New York Auto Show back in March. The head-turning, high-riding SUV wielded a biturbo hybrid V6 with a plug-in powertrain, and a rear-wheel-drive platform – but was still far from a road-ready vehicle. Now, new spy photos show the upcoming Aviator with a slightly more production-ready look.

 

Most of the body is covered in camouflage, of course, but we can still make out some defining cues. For one, the body retains most of the same shape and size of the original New York prototype – if not a bit sharper. Lincoln execs did promise that the production version would be almost identical to the prototype.

 

Hidden behind camouflage on the front fascia, the signature Lincoln grille found on both the Aviator concept and the larger Navigator appears to carry over. The headlights, too, maintain a similar shape and size to the original prototype. The rear is less revealing, but shows the extended light bar in tow. In the cabin, Lincoln has attempted to hide the Aviator’s features – but no luck. The same massive tablet-style screen is pictured, showing off features like Bluetooth, Navigation, Sync Connect, Mobile Apps, and more. The rest of the cabin, meanwhile, remains covered up.

 

It’s unclear exactly when we’ll see the production Aviator in the sheet metal, but don’t expect it anytime before 2019. The production Aviator will show up next year (we’d wager at the Detroit Auto Show), before going on sale late in 2019 as a 2020 model.
