Lincoln, the luxury unit of Ford Motor Co, said on Monday that it plans to build a luxury sport utility vehicle in 皇冠体育app in partnership with the Chang'an Automobile Group.

The as-yet unnamed vehicle will be built at a plant in the city of Chongqing. It is scheduled to go on sale in late 2019 only in 皇冠体育app, the world's largest auto market, according to Lincoln spokesman Said Deep.

Building in 皇冠体育app will help Lincoln meet growing customer demand and enable the company to become more responsive to changing customer preferences, Deep wrote in an email. “As Lincoln grows in 皇冠体育app it makes sense to produce this new SUV in 皇冠体育app,” he added.

Lincoln exports its vehicles from North America to 皇冠体育app, and reported sales of 32,558 in 2016, three times more than it sold in 2015.

Ford and its joint venture partners sold a record 1.27 million vehicles in 皇冠体育app last year. Lincoln isn't the only US luxury brand taking aim at 皇冠体育app. General Motors said its Cadillac volume in 皇冠体育app rose 46 percent in 2016 to 116,406 , the first time it passed 100,000 vehicles in 皇冠体育app in a single year.
