There are many excellent reasons to buy a Lincoln — the luxury car brand is prestigious, has above average residual value, and is long-lasting because of incredibly high manufacturing and maintenance standards.
Of course, when you shop for new Lincoln vehicles — you have many options, especially at the right dealership. While you can’t go wrong with any Lincoln, the Lincoln Continental remains one of the top choices for any fan of luxury sedans for the following reasons.
1. Prestigious Design
The modern Lincoln Continental is indeed faithful to the brand creator’s wishes in terms of aesthetics. When Henry Leland launched the Lincoln luxury car brand back in 1917, he wanted to develop a car fit for a President.
And there’s something very presidential about the Lincoln Continental. The vehicle’s potent yet elegant looks come down to its Lincoln Signature Grille, classic contours, dual-chrome exhaust tips, gorgeous fenders, and LED lights.
2. Comfortable Ride
The Lincoln Continental uses advanced adaptive suspension technology to give drivers a choice. Whether you want a sporty drive or a comfortable one, you can switch things up.
Speaking of comfortable rides, the Lincoln Continental features a class-leading cabin in terms of quietness. The car uses Active Noise Control technology and sound-deadening materials to reduce the noise from the road, wind, and the powertrain.
The vehicle also offers a remarkable amount of rear and front legroom and headroom. In fact, this luxury sedan can comfortably fit five adults, or perhaps four if they play for the NBA.
3. Powerful Engine
The Lincoln Continental’s 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 engine coupled with a 6-Speed SelectShift Automatic makes for a powerful and responsive drive on the city or the highway. The 3.7 V6 generates a whopping 305-horsepower and 280-lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough for most drivers.
4. Awesome Handling
Unlike other luxury vehicles that use Part-Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD), the Lincoln Continental features Full-Time AWD. While Part-Time AWD sends torque to two sets of wheels, front or centre, Full-Time AWD powers all four, putting it nearly on par with Four-Wheel Drive (4WD).
Thanks to Full-Time AWD, the Lincoln Continental handles remarkably well on dry roads. Meanwhile, in icy, snowy, or muddy conditions, the Lincoln Continental has the additional traction for safer and more self-assured driving. When you take the Lincoln Continental out for a test drive in the winter, you’ll notice how much better it drives than many other luxury sedans.
5. Amenities
The Lincoln Continental, like other modern Lincoln vehicles, offers a host of amenities that make it the envy of other drivers. For one, it features the cutting-edge Revel audio system for an excellent sound stage in a luxury vehicle. It also offers many connectivity options such as a Wi-Fi hotspot, Waze Navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and more. In addition, the sedan uses the latest safety technology to keep your driving experience as luxurious, secure, and stress-free as possible.
In an age where crossovers are rising in popularity, the Lincoln Continental holds its own with an elegant design, powerful engine, modern engineering, and several futuristic features.
