![]() ![]() Lincoln did not release official dimensions for the Star, but its overall length feels similar to the three-row Aviator. Designers said it was long enough to accommodate three rows of seating, but they instead opted to make the second row more of an executive space. ![]() Both the front and rear cargo areas have split openings, with the lower rear cargo opening doubling as a seat for two for enjoying the outdoors. It darkens when parked to hide cargo that may be stored in the frunk. The hood itself is electro-chromatic glass, which is clear when driving to allow light to enter the front footwells of the interior. The most prominent lighting signature is the wide daytime running light that sits atop the grille and stretches up the hood, which also hides projector headlights behind it that are invisible when not in use. Small geometric cutouts fan out from the logo so that light patterns can be showcased as well. The grille (and Lincoln designers insisted on calling it a grille) is completely flat and spreads across nearly the entire front of the vehicle, with the logo actually sunk in as a cutout that’s backlit so the surface stays smooth. There’s nary a bit of chrome to be found on the Star, it instead uses creative lighting to brighten up the exterior and features a sharply raked roof with a high point at the top of the windshield. Stylistically, the Star concept is a departure from the current Lincoln SUV lineup that features more upright styling with flatter roofs and plenty of creases/chrome accents. This mid-size platform offers both rear- and all-wheel drive setups, hence the flexible part of the name, but Lincoln did not offer any details on the Star concept in regards to battery chemistry or motor technology, leaving those to be filled in later. The Star concept rides on what Lincoln calls its “flexible battery electric architecture” that it shares with Ford, one of two EV platforms that Ford announced it was developing last year.
