China stays a profitable marketplace for luxurious sedans. Lots of the world’s automakers not solely supply luxurious saloons within the Asian nation, however in addition they supply China-specific fashions. Lincoln is not any totally different, revealing the Zephyr Reflection at 2021 Auto Shanghai. It’s a modern, fashionable idea that previews the manufacturing model that the corporate will debut later this 12 months. Lincoln designed the car “solely” for the Chinese language market.
The Zephyr Reflection sports activities a well-recognized Lincoln look, although it’s been completely reworked to look wholly distinctive. The Lincoln badge on the entrance is outstanding, sitting in opposition to a brand new grille with a starburst sample that additional accentuates the daring badge. It additionally sits framed between chrome strips that reach to the modern headlights earlier than mixing right into a daring physique line over the entrance fender and down the facet of the sedan. Beneath the brand new face is a sporty-looking bumper with huge (faux?) intakes pushed to the decrease corners.

Inside, Lincoln provides the idea a dash-spanning panoramic display that homes the instrument cluster and big infotainment show. The whole setup consists of three totally different screens. The Zephyr additionally sports activities Lincoln’s new human-machine interface language known as Constellation, which is offered in three themes: Regular, Sport, and Zen. Nevertheless, particular particulars in regards to the tech are scarce for the time being.
The inside is a minimalist’s playground, with the contact button-based gear selector being probably the most outstanding instrument panel characteristic. Beneath that’s the heart console with a modern controller, extra capacitive-looking buttons, and a storage cubby on the entrance.
The idea doesn’t look too wild, so it’s unclear how a lot of the design will change between now and the manufacturing model’s reveal. We doubt it’ll change by a lot inside or out. Lincoln revealed the Zephyr Reflection at Auto Shanghai 2021 alongside the Lincoln Corsair PHEV, which is becoming a member of the corporate’s Chinese language lineup for the primary time.
