Driving the demand were the Ford Focus and all-new Kuga, the pair accounting for 90% of sales.

        Lincoln brand luxury vehicle sales delivered best-ever quarterly results in China with 19,143 units sold, up 64.8% year-over-year. Sales of Lincoln Corsair reached 11,041 units in the third quarter and set a new quarterly record for individual Lincoln nameplates in China.

        Officials attributed part of the strong result to is continued push of new products in the market, adding they expected it to continue into next year.
