In the form of a 16-second clip, Lincoln officially teased the debut of its upcoming fully electric concept car.
An SUV In A Cloak
The only thing Lincoln confirmed in their press release was when Lincoln will take the wraps off this new concept – that day being April 20, 2022. However, that doesn't mean the 16-seconds of glory doesn't tell us anything else.
Lincoln appears to be taking notes from the Mercedes camp because the concept sports a bunch of illuminated Lincoln logos. In the midst of illuminated logos, it seems quite obvious that the concept will debut as a 2022 electric SUV. And more than likely, it will be based off of the Mustang Mach-E.
It's especially likely it will take inspiration from the Mustang Mach-E because Lincoln called off its deal to produce an electric SUV based off of Rivian's platform in 2020.
The teaser clip showcases a sloped roof-line, which is a key design-feature of the Mustang Mach-E. Yet again, we are pointed in the direction of a Mach-E based Lincoln SUV.
One Of Many Electric Lincolns To Come
The electric Lincoln SUV would join a dense – yet growing market of electric SUVs. That segment already hosts the Cadillac Lyriq and the Jaguar I-Pace, among many others.
However, Lincoln says this concept will set the stage for all of their future EVs, which suggests that more EVs from Lincoln are imminent. Perhaps we will see the Lincoln Continental return as an EV?
Food for thought aside, we will find out what Lincoln's SUV will look like on April 20, 2022.
