This is not your grandpa's Lincoln.
The interior, which we only saw by way of virtual reality, has been envisioned to echo the airy, intricate lattice pattern from the exterior. Instead of the team creating the Star from the outside first and then addressing the cabin, designers started with the rear seats and an emphasis on the passenger experience. “We focus a lot on what we call this third space,” says Robert Gelardi, Lincoln’s chief interior designer.
Lincoln’s Star Concept features a strong stance, a dropping roofline, reductive surfaces and aerodynamic enhancements. has long focused on broad, horizontal lines, and the Star is no exception. A single coast-to-coast display screen sweeps across the wing-shaped instrument panel while floating atop simple and pared-down controls. Ambient lighting plays across the dash, side door panels and even the front floor, with its bold stripes of white illumination.
Designers also created three unique sensory experiences, which combine light, graphics displays and scent to help occupants relax or recharge. Although this isn’t a new idea—Mercedes-Benz introduced a similar feature a few years ago on its previous-generation S-Class sedan—it’s a testament to the way manufacturers are thinking differently to incorporate all of the senses, especially in an electrified future where the roar of an engine and the smell of gasoline will be no more.
A single display screen sweeps across the entire wing-shaped instrument panel, floating atop simple and pared-down controls. According to the company, the Star is only a concept and won’t see production, but Lincoln president Joy Falotico says the brand will introduce three new EVs by 2025, with a fourth coming a year later. Along with that, Lincoln is partnering with dealers to grow boutique retail venues in its top markets, including Scottsdale, Ariz., and Bethesda, Md.
Falotico also says that the brand is working toward a fully digital, end-to-end experience and continues to build out its client services, including a mobile-detailing pilot program in Houston, Tex. Meanwhile, this latest concept serves as a beacon for Lincoln’s next chapter. As Curic puts it: “We are going after a different star that’s guiding us into an electrified future.”
