Despite its big horsepower numbers, available all-wheel drive and low and hunkered-down stance, the 2018 Lincoln Continental is not a sports sedan. It’s quick and it can cruise comfortably at 100 mph all day if you bought up the Mojave with your lottery winnings, but driving enthusiasts won’t find satisfaction in the Continental’s cushy ride and isolated steering feel. The Lincoln performs well, but it’s for luxury lovers, not g-force junkies. It cruises effortlessly. Its cabin is quiet and plush. And its overall driving character is relaxed. The Continental does have a Sport mode that livens its steering, suspension and throttle response, however, which does make it a bit more fun to drive, but the Lincoln is best for long and straight highway runs and when used as an isolation chamber in the hustle and bustle of the urban sprawl. Oh, have I been in traffic for the last two hours? I didn’t notice, sitting here in my new Continental with my massaging seat set on “hard.”

LINCOLN PICKUP AND DELIVERY Saving you time and inconvenience should be as much a part of luxury ownership as soft leather and a smooth ride. Lincoln agrees so every 2018 Lincoln, including the new Continental, comes with complimentary vehicle pickup and delivery for all service and maintenance. A loaner car is also part of the deal.   MASSAGING FRONT SEATS The Continental’s 30-way-adjustable front seats are exceedingly comfortable. And of course, they are heated. But they also offer massage and you can even dial in the intensity as it gives your back and buttocks a thorough working. Perfect after a long day at the office, but they also fight off fatigue on long drives.

The days of Lincolns with outdated interiors full of hard plastics and cheap bits are long over. The cabin of the 2018 Lincoln Continental is modern, stylish and filled with upscale materials and precise fit and finish. It’s also spacious with room for five and comfortable with front seats with 10-, 24- or 30-way adjustment with heat and massage. The configurable gauge cluster is digital and minimalistic and the Sync 3 infotainment system is easy to use, featuring an onboard 4G Wi-Fi hotspot and a large touch screen. The Continental’s unique push-button shifter takes a little getting used to, but you’ll acclimate to it quickly.

The new Lincoln Continental looks expensive and draws inspiration from classic Lincoln Continental models from the early 1960s. Just take in that shiny honeycomb grille, the bulging hood, sleek sides and tapered rear. Its size itself makes a statement, living large at over 201 inches in length. Among the Continental's most notable design elements are the E-latch electronic door handles, situated in the beltline just below the windows and sitting stationary. Rather than pulling them, you simply reach and press a button to open. Optional is a feature that gently opens and closes the doors -- just like on a Rolls-Royce.

The 2018 Lincoln Continental comes in four trims: Premiere, Select, Reserve and Black Label. A base Premiere model includes heated and 10-way-adjustable front seats, power-operated steering-wheel adjustment, universal garage-door opener, auto-hold brake system (convenient at stoplights), rearview camera and parking-aid system, dual-zone automatic climate-control system and 18-inch wheels. The Lincoln also includes an 8-inch touch screen and the Sync3 infotainment system that's compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and includes a 4G onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. For around $ 3,000 more, we suggest the Select model, which adds leather interior, hands-free power-operated trunk, self-closing/opening doors, and the ability to add more option packages.

A new Lincoln Continental Reserve model adds navigation, blind-spot monitoring, tri-zone climate control and the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 with 335 horsepower. In addition to more features like Venetian leather and other fancy bits, the Black Label model comes with exclusive services ranging from culinary adventures to complimentary car washes and travel perks. Other goodies include the 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, which makes the Continental one of the most powerful sedans in it class, a rear-seat package with recline function and heat/ventilation, the Revel premium 19-speaker audio system, and active safety and driving aids such as dynamic cruise control, lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking. All-wheel drive is available on all models.

A trio of V6 engines is available in the 2018 Continental. Standard is a naturally aspirated (non-turbo) 3.7-liter V6 with 305 horsepower. Optional are a 335-horsepower 2.7-liter twin-turbo or 3.0-liter twin-turbo with a serious 400 horsepower. The Lincoln Continental is front-wheel drive (FWD), but all-wheel drive (AWD) can be had on all three engines for about $ 2,000 and is exclusive to the 3.0-liter. All use a 6-speed automatic transmission that does a fine job. The big Continental isn't especially thrifty with fuel, with all engines achieving about 20 mpg combined.3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm 280 lb-ft of torque @ 4,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/26 mpg (FWD), 16/24 mpg (AWD)2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 335 horsepower @ 5,700 rpm 380 lb-ft of torque @ 3,500 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27 mpg (FWD), 17/25 mpg (AWD)3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 400 horsepower @ 5,750 rpm (estimated) 400 lb-ft of torque @ 2,750 rpm (estimated) EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24 mpg

The 2018 Lincoln Continental has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at about $ 46,000 for a base model, including the $ 925 destination fee. At just over $ 50,000, we think the Select is a better bet. From there, prices zoom to the mid-$ 50,000 range for the Continental Reserve and about $ 70,000 for the Continental Black Label models. A loaded Black Label can kiss $ 80,000. At these prices, this full-size luxury sedan is more comparable to slightly smaller rivals like the Audi A6, Volvo S90, Acura RLX, Lexus GS, Mercedes E-Class, Cadillac CTS and BMW 5 Series. As much as we appreciate a fully loaded 400-horsepower, all-wheel-drive Black Label model, the Continental's best value is nearer its base price. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying. The Lincoln Continental's resale value is predicted to be only marginal.

2018 Lincoln Continental Future Generations

Lincoln Continental Overview and History

After 15 years of absence, the Lincoln Continental made it back in 2016 as a huge luxurious sedan, boasting with elegance, power and technology. Revealed in 1982, the seventh generation Lincoln Continental was the last of its kin to use a rear-wheel drive configuration.
Lincoln sprung as an independent luxury-car producer in 1917. Founded by engineering whiz Henry M. Leland after his departure from Cadillac, which he had helped co-found, the company was named Lincoln as a reminder of the admiration Leland bore for the now defunct state-leader. In a macabre coincidence, president JFK was assassinated just like Abraham Lincoln was. At the time of  his death, JFK was being driven in a Lincoln Continental limousine.

However, before such drama occurred, Lincoln was a fairly small company that supplied Liberty aircraft engines for the Army during WWI. Having teamed up with son Wilfred, Leland converted his factory to manufacturing luxury automobiles right after the war. Despite Leland's skill and potential of his vehicles, the factory encountered several design-related obstacles and financial trouble that could not be overcome. Forced into bankruptcy, Leland sold his company to Ford in 1922 for $ 8 million.

Soon after the Ford takeover, Lincoln's first series of automobiles would enter mass production. Under Ford, Lincoln's styling problems were solved as were the financial issues  experimented before. Little changes or none were made to Leland's original engines. Coupled with production cost cuts, this would allow the company to toll out some 5,500 vehicles in December, 1922.

As of 1923, newer body styles appeared, many of them having been the result of partnerships with coachbuilders such as Fleetwood and Brunn. This lead to the appearance of  a diversified range of vehicles comprised of large sedans and limousines that could accommodate as many as 7 passengers. Despite the fairly big price tags these special coach-built vehicles came with, Lincoln sales did not plummet. They did just the contrary, registering a spectacular 45% increase over the previous years with 7,875 vehicles sold.

The 1924's brought forth the release of the famous Flyers that were extensively used by US Police Departments. The cars premiered some features that weren't introduced on private models until 2 years after. Two wheel disc breaks, weapon racks, armored windows and Police whistles were among the many 'accessories' Flyers came equipped with.

Probably the most famous car ever made by Lincoln sprouted in 1932  Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie's drawing board. The later release of the Zephyr in 1936 smashed open the gates for the release of the Continental. The latter was actually a modified 1938 Zephyr Coupe whom Gregorie had sectioned and added a vertical tire mount to. The car became so successful that it sold in over 5000 units until production halted in 1948.

However, the Continental would not go down for good. It was later resuscitated  through the Mark II model. By 1955, the Mark II could be purchased for a stunning $ 10,000, as much as a Rolls Royce cost those days.

Later designs, such as the Town Car and the bulky Navigator, aided Lincoln in becoming the best sold luxury car brand in the US by 1998. After a brief change of ownership between 1998 and 2002 when Lincoln belonged to the Premier Automotive Group, the company returned on Ford premises where it can still be found today.

Despite its tradition as a luxury car manufacturer and presidential limousine supplier, the company has experienced a severe setback in the last few years, having lost against Asian and European imports. This is mostly due to the lack of new models, issue that Ford hopes to solve by reinventing the brand. Lincoln's ascension is still unspooling through the release of models such the MKZ and MKX.

"The Lincoln Continental 2019"
I totaled a 2018 Continental. I went in a drainage system. It flipped on its side.They had to use the jaws of life to get me out. I came out without a scratch. I now have a 2019 Continental. It has just about everything at the cost of $ 81,500. It is a solid a car for safety. It is a true luxury car for its price.

"After three years, I still am impressed"
This is an update to my original review. My Continental Reserve 2.7L is a wonderful car. In the three years since new, it has only been back to the dealer for oil changes. everything works perfectly, just as it did in January 2017 when I took delivery. The car is extremely quiet and comfortable. The quality of the car is exceptional. The 2.7L twin-turbo engine is very powerful and is a pleasure to drive. The car is smooth, quick and responsive. I love the Optional Perfect Position cooled and heated seats. They are extremely comfortable on trips, especially in the heat of summer. I also like the massage feature of the seats. Lincoln's Sync navigation system is excellent and very easy to use. The best I have ever used. I can go on about how satisfied I am with the car, but to make this short, the Continental is an outstanding luxury car that is a pleasure to drive. I was pleased to see Consumers Digest recently gave the Continental the highest rating of all full-size luxury cars, including many that are priced much higher.. I have owned many other high end luxury cars and the continental is the best I have ever owned.

"Lincoln Continental very poor choice"
Poor mileage. Inconveniently placed buttons and dials. Poor radio as far as tuning. Radio does not hold presets. Gas tank too small for this size car. I’ve had Camrys and Accords for many years and will return to those makes. I feel both are superior to the Lincoln Continental and hold their value much better. Very disappointed in my Lincoln.
