Lincoln is the luxury arm of Ford Motor Company, and is strategically positioned to compete with Cadillac, the luxury brand of General Motors.
Having only a handful of current models like the Aviator, Nautilus, and Navigator, Lincoln has shifted away from car production and is focusing solely on the SUV market since the 2020 model year.
