The Navigator Concept shows the brand's vision of bringing 'Quiet Luxury' to fullsize SUV customers.

The Shanghai unveilings came after Lincoln achieved its best quarter since its entry to the Chinese market. In the first quarter, Lincoln delivered 11,731 vehicles in China, more than double the level of the same quarter last year.

Before the launch of the MKZ hybrid, Lincoln had introduced five models to the Chinese market: the flagship Continental, the MKZ sedan and three members of its SUV family, ranging from the new small premium utility MKC and the mid-size premium utility MKX to the full-size SUV Navigator.
