Lincoln Continental vs. the competition
2018 Lincoln Continental
2018 Cadillac CT6
Lincoln Continental vs. Cadillac CT6
Both of these American flagship sedans boast optional turbocharged six-cylinder engines and available all-wheel drive. Both cars also have feature-packed infotainment systems, but the Lincoln's is a bit easier to use. The Cadillac is a little bigger on the outside, but interior space is very similar for both cars.
Lincoln Continental vs. Lexus LS 500
The larger Lexus is more powerful, and it's also more fuel-efficient. Credit its 10-speed automatic transmission: Those extra gear ratios help this sedan achieve 5 mpg higher on the highway. In general, the Lexus is a more refined and premium luxury sedan. Alas, the LS costs more, such that you can get a fully loaded Continental for about the starting price of the Lexus.
Lincoln Continental vs. Genesis G90
The G90 starts at a higher price, but keep in mind that it has few if any options. As far as engines go, the Lincoln offers an array of six-cylinder engines and tops out with a powerful turbocharged V6. The Genesis starts with a turbo six-cylinder, but you can step up to a 5.0-liter V8. Though the Genesis can cost more, it doesn't offer Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, which are standard on the Lincoln.
