edmunds TESTED
The 2020 Lincoln Continental has style that lives up to its heralded past. But a lack of refinement and overall value hinder the sedan in a crowded luxury segment. The materials and build quality, even in the higher-priced trims, are no competition for other entries in this space. Two twin-turbocharged V6 engines offer some excitement, but the Continental never feels comfortable in its own skin.

2020 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan AWD (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
Not much has changed from the 2017 Continental Reserve Twin Turbo V6 I purchased new in 2016. It has been trouble free, comfortable, quiet, fast, and fun to drive. It is the best long distance cruiser I have ever owned and I have owned many high end German and Japanese cars. The car is silent and smooth and handles like a dream. I would buy a 2020, but I like the 2017 so well I will … keep it for awhile longer. The car has been trouble free and has been back to the dealer only for oil changes and tire rotations. I love the classic styling and understated elegance of the car. It quietly says "Quality and Style" without hitting you in the face with extreme styling. The "Perfect Position" seats are the best in any car. On a trip, the seat and back massage function makes long days in the car pass pleasantly. If you are looking for a high quality car that is a pleasure to drive, I recommend taking one or a test drive. Consumers Review gave the Continental its highest rating, ahead of all comparable German and Japanese cars.

2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
I am very impressed with the overall performance of this vehicle. The 2.7L 6-cyl engine turbo 6A has a lot of kick to it. I have not experienced any delay or hesitation in acceleration when stepping on the gas pedal like the Lincoln 2015 MKX I owned . Very responsive and the handling is what I expected from a luxury vehicle. Very roomy, quiet, and I love the 30-way seats, especially … the extended thigh seating control which is great for long hours of highway driving. I also enjoy having the smart link which allows me to start, lock or unlock my vehicle with my iPhone. Great car!
i am now an Eleven month owner and I am still impress with my Lincoln. It's a great luxury car, turns heads and is enjoyable to driving.
Car of My Dreams

2020 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
As a kid I always wanted to own a Lincoln Continental. I bought mine at age 70 in December of 2017 and got the absolute top of the line. The black label 3.0 in Ultimate Croma Copper Elite with the Race Horse Thyme Interior. Every option was included and I never had an auto that has brought so many compliments on it's looks. The 3.0 engine offers effortless power that can get you out … of anything driving the interstates. The all wheel drive does it's job in the north country and mountains. If you can't comfortable in these seats stay home. The only thing missing the heads up display that wasn't available until 2018. You can understand why the Chinese like this car because of the spacious back seat that is really like a limo with the back seat package. The revel radio is truly worth the money and I don't believe there is any unit substantially better. During more two years driving I have had no issues and enjoy the outstanding service that Lincoln Black Label extends. I thought I had good service on my BMW and Saab but this is truly special. The yearly detailing is sick for what they do for the car. Every inch in, out under the hood and in the trunk. I bought my first ever extended warranty extending the 4 year 50k to 7 year 75k. This I felt might be worth it as the many electronics in the vehicle my be tested keeping the car this long. I know sedans are on their way out and I am so happy I could fulfil my dream of enjoying my dream car as my time nears.
You have to love it to own it...

2018 Lincoln Continental Black Label 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
It’s easier to identify Continental by what it isn’t rather than what it is. While it’s bigger then an Audi A6 or a BMW 5 Series it isn’t a true Mercedes S Class or BMW 7 Series competitor. While the 400 HP Turbo 6 packs enough punch to leave most cars behind - you’d be silly to toss it around corners like a Beemer or even a Cadillac.
What it is - is a dignified domestic Luxury car … that appeals to your heart rather than your logic. You can go on for paragraphs about this cars features, it’s materials, and it’s driving finesse but it truly shines in ways that can’t be measured. Out west where domestic cars in general are in short supply Continental turns heads with it’s classic styling - almost as much as our Porsche.
We purchased our used 2018 Continental with only 12,000 miles. Mechanically the vehicle has been fairly reliable. My only complaint is buggy electronics and a strut that failed under 40k miles. Our dealer inspected / replaced both free of charge. Lincoln warrants their vehicles for 5 years and 50,000 Miles. With the complexity of these vehicles I recommend that you search for a low mileage Pre Owned model. You’ll reap the benefits of a significantly lower buying price and Lincoln’s stellar dealer service.
Which brings me to my last point. LINCOLN’S DEALER NETWORK IS PHENOMENAL. I’ve owned several luxury branded vehicles and Lincoln has offered me the best service of any dealership I have ever experienced. On demand vehicle loaners, drop off service, no questions asked warranty repair. It’s obvious Ford is looking to boost the image of its premium marquee.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Lincoln Continental, so we've included reviews for other years of the Continental since its last redesign.
