Luxury and strength
The 2017 Lincoln Continental is a large luxury car that balances a refined interior with strong engine options. A standout feature is the 30-way adjustable driver’s seat, perfect for long days on the road. The 2017 Continental has four different trims. Even the base trim has lots of standard features, including remote start and synthetic leather seats. From there, the luxury touches expand to include a panoramic sunroof, and heated and cooled seats throughout. There are three engine options available: a V6 or two twin-turbo V6s.
