Lincoln Introduces Its First EV Concept, the Star
“A guiding star for Lincoln.”
Lincoln has introduced a stunning new EV Concept titled the “Star,” setting the stage for the company’s ambitious electrification plans and introduction of three fully electric zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. The Ford-owned luxury automaker opts for a sleek, aerodynamic aesthetic for the new concept SUV incorporating new thoughtful design details, intuitive features, and immersive experiences. The switch to electric has allowed the designers at Lincoln to opt for an unconventional approach, highlighted by the large electrochromatic front trunk that turns transparent while in motion.
Highlights from the Star concept include transparent 3D-printed metal latticework featured on the A-Pillars and D-pillars that allows for a flood of natural light and the added feeling of spaciousness, and three preset moods — Coastal Morning, Mindful Vitality, and Evening Chill — that build upon natural circadian rhythms and harmonize audio, scents, and lighting for a rejuvenating atmosphere.
Additional amenities include a glass beverage chiller integrated between the back seats, Lincoln Attaché, a digital briefcase concept with a hidden compartment in the rear coach door, and a reimagined rear cargo space that transforms into a plush outdoor seat when put into lounge mode.
“This is a shining example of what happens when we combine Lincoln luxury with flexible electrical architecture to create unimaginable experiences for customers,” said Jim Farley, president and CEO of Ford Motor Company. “We can truly revolutionize how people engage with the brand and scale it across an exciting lineup of products that catapult Lincoln into the digital, connected age.”
