For years Lincoln experimented with an awkward split-wing front-end design and three-letter nameplates like MKZ, MKX, and MKT. The Lincoln Continental comes with a four-year, 50,000-mile warranty. And Lincoln stands by the power-train for six years or 70,000 miles. Buyers who indulge on the Black Label trim also benefit from a four-year, 50,000-mile premium maintenance plan, service pickup and delivery.

The eight-inch touch-screen embedded in the center stack runs Ford’s familiar Sync 3 infotainment system. At least it’s fairly easy to navigate.

Sync 3’s learning curve is gentle.
Lincoln offers the Continental with three different engines. The entry-level unit is a 3.7-liter V6 rated at 305 horsepower and 280 pound feet of torque. Next up is a twin-turbocharged, 2.7-liter V6 that produces 335 hp and 380 lb-ft. of torque. Finally, the range-topping unit – which our test car came with is a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 tuned. which is intended to deliver 400 hp at 5,750 rpm and 400 lb-ft. of torque at 2,750 rpm.
