Lincoln’s electrified future is previewed by the Star Concept SUV, a mid-size two-row crossover with a dramatic interior.
The Star should be one of the first of several Lincoln EVs to come to market, probably in late 2024 as a 2025 model. Lincoln says both rear- and all-wheel drive electric powertrains will be part of the package.
The cabin of the concept shows a full-width digital display on the dashboard, sculpted front and rear bucket seats, an integrated beverage chiller, crystal accents, and rose gold colored trim pieces.
The exterior styling looks half Aviator, half spaceship, and a large front trunk area includes a drawer that slides out to access additional storage space.
The Star will be an all-new nameplate for the Lincoln brand when it hits the market but don’t be surprised if some if not all of the concept car’s cool features fail to make it into production. Concept cars are and always have been a place where new ideas are teased but never promised.
While we’re reasonably sure we can anticipate a starting price of around $70,000, we aren’t sure if the Star will follow Lincoln’s current trim structure or if it will go its own way. If it continues on with base Standard, a mid-range Reserve, and a top-dog Black Label models, the midrange Reserve is likely to offer the best mix of features for the price.
