Lincoln Continental 2017-2020
Overview
The Lincoln Continental, produced from 2017 to 2020, marked the return of an iconic nameplate in the luxury sedan segment. It was designed to offer a comfortable, refined driving experience reminiscent of classic American luxury cars. The exterior design featured a sleek and modern aesthetic with a bold front grille and signature Lincoln elements, such as the distinctive door handles that integrated seamlessly into the beltline. The Continental came with various trim levels, including the high-end Black Label, which offered premium materials and customizable interior themes.
Inside, the Lincoln Continental showcased a spacious and well-appointed cabin focusing on comfort and technology. The seats were designed for long-distance comfort, and options like massage and heating/cooling were available. Advanced tech features included an infotainment system with a large touchscreen display, smartphone integration, and an available Revel Ultima audio system for a premium sound experience. While the Continental was known for its smooth ride and quiet interior, it faced challenges in a market shifting towards SUVs and crossovers, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 2020. Nevertheless, it left a mark as a luxurious and comfortable sedan in Lincoln's lineup during its brief revival.
