You don’t really need all the glitz and glam when you can cruise the road in seamless luxury. The 2017 Lincoln Continental performs exactly how it looks: elegant and upscale. The brand itself calls it a “quiet luxury,” referring to the smooth way it traverses the road while offering maximum comfort and convenience. From interior and exterior design to engine power, the 2017 Continental does its best to continue Lincoln’s increasing sales amid an ever-challenging, luxury-sedan market.
Controlled Driving
The 2017 Continental combines power, speed, and control for confident driving dynamics. With a turbocharged, 3.0-liter, GTDI V6, you derive stunning power from its 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. All of this works well with Dynamic Torque Vectoring that transfers power on demand to the rear wheel, accommodating those moments when agile cornering and comfort are demanded. The Lincoln Drive Control offers a set of drive-enhancing technologies for controlled damping as well as light and responsive steering. As for its dedication to utility, the Continental gets you to your destination no matter the road conditions, thanks to an all-wheel drive capable of traversing rough, rocky, and slippery roads.
Seamless Interior and Exterior Design
Comfort and detailed craftsmanship will greet you once you step inside the 2017 Continental. Bridge of Weir Deepsoft Leather adorns the interior while unique wood trim accents make each vehicle unlike any other. Wood patterns include open-pore espresso ash swirl, jade ash swirl, and brown swirl walnut. The 30-Way Perfect Position Seats provide maximum comfort, allowing you to adjust them to your needs and preferences. Meanwhile, Continental keeps your ride fun with its 19-speaker Revel Ultima Audio System, offering exquisite sound capabilities for those long rides.
The exterior emanates a fresh, unique look with its distinctive, one-piece, signature grille with the Lincoln Star mesh. Adaptive headlamps not only add to the design, but also serve a purpose. They provide greater illumination in the direction of your turn, making for safer night driving. The LED taillamps also lend a smooth appeal as they seamlessly integrate with the trunk lid.
Reliable Safety
A range of technology helps ensure road safety. For one, the 360-Degree Camera lends a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings so that you can easily see the corners and alleys when you’re backing into a tight spot. It also helps you avoid obstacles in low-speed situations. Moreover, a Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Active Braking also reduce the risk of collision. Using radar and a camera to watch the road ahead, it warns the driver when a vehicle or a pedestrian crosses the car's path. If a crash is imminent, the system automatically applies the brakes.
Slick performance, seamless design, and excellent safety measures make the 2017 Continental a top choice in a luxury sedan. Check it out yourself at a Lincoln dealership serving McComb, MS.
