The Lincoln Continental is not a sporty sedan, but it can be quick. Unflustered yet rapid freeway progress is the Continental’s strength, and that’s with any one of the three engines available. Naturally, there are selectable driving modes, one of which is Sport (perking up throttle response, transmission shift points and suspension damping), but it can’t raise the Continental to the same engagement level as, say, the BMW 7 Series. As long as a driver gets into this car knowing there won’t be much driving feel or information coming up to the hands or seat of the pants -- but it will be insulating and isolating, pampering and protective -- then the Continental’s talents and the user’s expectations will be more in harmony. The experience is enhanced by the finely adjustable front seats and their massage functions.
LINCOLN PICKUP AND DELIVERY If time is the ultimate luxury, then a Lincoln dealership is an asset. Every 2019 Continental includes free vehicle collection and return for all service and maintenance. A loaner car covers the absence. MASSAGING FRONT SEATS Other car companies offer heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, but no one else matches Lincoln’s 30-way-power adjustment. Virtually every body type should be able to find an ideal position. And after a tough day at work or to remain alert during a long-distance drive, the massage function’s intensity can be dialed up.
This is one area where modern features meet traditional luxury. Amid the push-button gear selector, Wi-Fi, 8-inch infotainment touch screen and digital driver information display are high-quality materials assembled with precision. There’s also plenty of space for five adults in the 2019 Continental, and the front seats are comfortable whether they have 10-way, 24-way or 30-way adjustment.
A luxury car has to look the part and the new Lincoln Continental certainly accomplishes that. From its chromed mesh grille, bulging hood, down its clean flanks and to its tapered tail, this sedan stretches an expansive 16.75 feet. The chrome beltline along the sides is where the E-latch electronic door handles are located; instead of pulling, simply reach and press a button to open. On the options list are motorized doors with a gentle open/close action, the kind of thing found on Rolls-Royce cars.
The 2019 Lincoln Continental comes in base, Select, Reserve and Black Label trim levels. The entry-level model has 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive suspension, dual-zone automatic climate control, 10-way power-adjustable/heated front seats, power-adjustable steering column, adaptive cruise control, CoPilot360 features, 8-inch touch screen, Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, and rear parking sensors. Spend around $ 4,000 more for the Select trim and that will bring leather upholstery, self-open/close doors, hands-free trunk lid operation, and eligibility for a greater number of options.
Going higher up the 2019 Continental’s trim levels to the Reserve model means a bigger engine (but not the biggest), 19-inch wheels, tri-zone climate control, twin-panel moonroof, 360-degree camera system, head-up display, audio system upgrade, and navigation. The top Black Label version goes beyond mere features to include dining opportunities, free car washes, travel perks and a concierge service, but also brings higher-grade leather, 20-inch wheels, and those 30-way front seats. The top two trims can be ordered with a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, making the Continental one of the most powerful sedans in its class. All-wheel drive is available in all versions.
The Lincoln Continental offers a choice of three V6 engines. The base unit is naturally aspirated (not turbocharged or supercharged), making 305 horsepower from 3.7 liters of displacement. The middle-spec engine is a turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 developing 355 horsepower. Or 400 horsepower is available in a turbocharged 3.0-liter motor. The sole transmission is a perfectly suitable 6-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive (FWD) as the default setup or all-wheel drive (AWD) available as an option. The exception being that the most powerful engine only comes with all-wheel drive. From a fuel-economy perspective, all three engines achieve a rough average of 20 mpg and the turbo engines require 93-octane gasoline.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 400 lb-ft of torque @ 2,750 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24 mpg
Add a destination charge of $ 995 to the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) and the 2019 Lincoln Continental starts at $ 47,140. The Select trim, a smarter buy in our opinion, begins at $ 50,940. Then it’s a climb to $ 60,705 for the Reserve, topping out at $ 71,040 for the lavish Black Label model. Even though a fully loaded Black Label with the 400-horsepower engine sounds glorious in theory, the potential bottom line of almost $ 80,000 doesn’t appeal quite so much. The Continental’s best value is in its lower reaches, where it becomes a full-size luxury sedan priced similarly to smaller offerings from rival marques; for example, the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Volvo S90 is a more direct competitor, while the comparably sized Genesis G90 is also worth some research time. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new Continental. Resale values are not expected to be strong.OK, so what's next?I'm interested in the newest version of this car. What's for sale near me?I'm interested in this car, and I'd like to trade in my current car while I'm at it.Then again, maybe I should be thinking about a used car.
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.
