An Instant Classic
The 2017 Lincoln Continental sports an elegant stance and subtle design. At the front, the grille has been mildly revised, and headlamps were reworked to be more pleasing to the eye. Go around the back, and you’ll see even more significant changes. Larger openings replace the slender air vents, giving a more aggressive look to the front fascia. To create a more homogenous appearance, designers opted to remove the chrome stripe at the apron.
Continuing to refresh the rear end, you’ll find a conventional trunk lid that reaches the bumper. Tailights are bigger now, complete with a cluster layout, with a slender LED strip connecting the two units. Chrome inserts, a rare sight nowadays, are also added to the lamps. The trunk lid spoiler is subtler, and the license plate has a deeper recess.
A Visual Experience
From the side, black detailing accentuates the window trim. Additionally, the fender badge proudly carries Continental lettering. Power-cinching technology allows you to pop open the doors with a simple touch of a button. To make things fancier, an exclusive lighting sequence has been set to welcome you to the 2017 Lincoln Continental. LED signature lighting brightens up upon your approach, and the headlights follow suit in a fluid motion. All of these together make up a stately sedan, clearly distinguishing the 2017 Lincoln Continental from every other car on the road.
Worthy of the Luxury Badge
Lincoln has gone to great lengths to revive the Continental to its former glory, and it has successfully surpassed that high standard in the cabin. The interiors are warm and welcoming with lighter hues dominating the aesthetic. Genuine wood further heightens the rich look. To guide you inside, mat lights brighten up the pavement near the front doors as you approach. Supple leather is used to wrap the seats, which are aptly called Perfect Position Seats inspired by those found on private jets. To brighten up the cabin, aluminum inserts are strategically placed throughout the interiors.
Deluxe Performer
Finally, expect nothing less than high-level performance from a 2017 Lincoln Continental from Lincoln dealers catering to Baton Rouge. It’s powered by a 3L V6 engine with twin turbochargers, capable of delivering 400 horsepower plus 400 pounds per feet of torque. This powertrain is quiet, smooth, and responsive especially when mated to the All-Wheel Drive system. Everything you’d expect from a luxury sedan is present behind the wheel, rounding out the 2017 Lincoln Continental experience.
