here

the new style grill that most Lincolns are getting now looks amazing in my opinion and when you turn the lights on we have beautiful LED daytime running lights and also headlights the fog lights are also LED and From the front, the Continental looks the way it's supposed to look elegant and luxurious.

Now, right away, we'll talk about the engine alternatives that the Continental offers. T

are three of them. They are all six cylinders. The entry level is a 3.7-liter, naturally. aspirated v6 with 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque one step up we have the 2.7-liter EcoBoost twin turbocharged V6 producing 335 horsepower at 380 pound-feet of torque however our test vehicle here today is fully loaded it has the premium engine alternative and that is the twin turbocharged 3 liter EcoBoost v6 producing 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque is now mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and while all-wheel drive Front is standard, the one we have here today as the optional four wheel drive -Drive system: The side of the vehicle also looks great and has beautiful wide smooth lines though I want to say if I'm going to be critical of anything , it might be a little too raked at the rear for my liking, not that it looks bad, but it could be a little

aggressive, not that it needs a big wing or anything, but there's just a little wing.

I feel like that would give this Continental a different profile presence now that we have a 20-inch wheel. sitting on 2 45 40 diameter Pirelli PZero tires and take a look at this view right here the door handles are actually integrated we don't have regular door handles like normal cars just put your hand here if you have the key in your pocket it unlocks we're going to take a look at the interior here soon which is actually the best part of this car but i wanted to show you here that it comes with soft close doors a great feature now that it's a

eight and nine zero and then you can unlock it with your five digit code Lincoln has a capless fuel tank system as well this is patented by Ford and this tank holds 18 gallons of fuel so when we get to the back of the Lincoln here I want to say it's absolutely beautiful it has the sweeping LED taillights which give it a very classy look its just a very beautiful vehicle we also have a dual exhaust tip setup big

badge on the tailgate and let's go open it has the kick motion just slide your foot under as long as you have the key in your in your pocket or in your hand it opens we have 17 cubic feet of cargo space in here i just have a bunch of camera gear but you can easily fit a couple golf bags a lot of luggage or just a bunch grocery whatever you prefer I also have a button here to close the liftgate now this color is platinum white it's a beautiful metallic color with an amazing shine I really hope you can see that on the camera here there are of course several different color options for the Continental though it looks very very nice in the platinum white now this is the key you get with the Continental smart key access remote of course no scientific advance here on the actual remote we have an unlock button the lock button remote start open trunk then you panic now for remote start you press lock button once and double click now all lincolns have three main trim levels start with premiere then select then also book if that's not good enough go for the Black Label which gives you extra perks like a concierge service so they pick you up and drop you off when your vehicle needs service they can leave you on loan if you want and then too when it comes to the interior you can choose different themes and this one we have here today has a theme called Rhapsody which is absolutely beautiful let's take a look now this theme is blooming venetian leather mixed with suede and it is absolutely beautiful you can also get an interior red and also a light leather interior we'll start with a door here soft touch leather here for the armrests as well as up here on the actual door panel now the Continental has similar to Mercedes all the seat adjustments on the side of the door here and speaking of seat adjustments this has the perfect fit position seating package which means it has a 30 way power seat so when we lift the seat up here you can take a closer look and I've been in Lots of luxury vehicles I own one and a Lincoln by far owns the game in the entire industry when it comes to seating comfort this seat is absolutely amazing.

I already mentioned it when I reviewed the Lincoln Navigator for those of you who have seen this, but it's worth mentioning again no matter what size man you are. or woman I promise you will find this seat comfortable there is a setting just for you and your preference now as it is a 30 way power seat of course there are millions of buttons here to adjust everything if we start with this one here which is the leg support for your right leg the next button here is of course for your left leg so just look at this headrest that comes out it moves up it moves down and you can not only adjust your back back and forth but that you can also adjust the outside of this seat Also needless to say this seat is amazing it's so comfortable I'm not going to go over every single feature here because it would take too long but of course we have memory settings for our three different drivers and if we just take a look at these speakers we'll talk more about the stereo system here in a minute this is the Rebel Ultima 19 speaker system just look at the speakers they look beautiful too to open the door it has a button here now we are going to jump in here and we're going to start the car what you do here of course hit the brake but before we talk about the driving position and the way this car drives and all the technology that's in it up here I'm actually going to jump into the backseat because this Continental Black Label, which has all the options, has the backseat package that we're going to talk about here real quick because this is amazing in its own sense, it actually folds down right here and if we start here it's got cup holders right here it's got a cubby here and all these controls so for the rear passengers not only do they have heated seats but they also have cooled seats this is really a little weird even for a luxury vehicle today. standard having cooled seats for the rear passengers now you can control the stereo back here never does it justice in a car review but its an amazing stereo as i mentioned revel ultima 19 speaker system i think back here it has about 1200 watts of power and you have your own climate controls as well and then you have some buttons here so one of the buttons will close the sunroof blind and then this button here is for the rear blind but wait there's more the back seat is also adjustable and this here is a massaging back seat so yeah i mean this car is fully loaded with so many convenient features even for a passenger it just amazes me and all the headliner here is in blue alcantara and i think it's so amazing Lincoln offers Black Label with these cool themes a blue interior is actually quite rare nowadays and with this one having it right down to the headlining in blue Alcantara it's just yeah it's classy but now let's get in the door of driver seat soft close for passenger door too so the Continental is packed with all the tech features you could want plus I'd add autonomous driving but we've got adaptive cruise control right here it's got active Park Assist too , the lane keeping system we use. in the previous video where i did a POV driving experience video of the Continental we also have a bliss that stands for blind spot information system and these side mirrors the way they fold up and fold down every time you lock the car too and most of this can be controlled by the buttons on the steering wheel then we also have an amazing head up display which is new for 2018 and you get this with the tech package and again i went over this in the POV ride we did in the video old but it has excellent resolution and gives you a lot of information now moving towards the center column of the Continental this is quite interesting because this is where you have your very different gear selector obviously you have a right hand gear stick here or like many others cars nowadays, they have a twist shifter but lincoln choose to do it on the touch screen side, it's very different, it takes a bit of getting used to, but i like it because it frees up a lot of space. here now the touch screen is 8 inches it's the sync 3 system that's been around for a few years but it's great very responsive full apple carplay capable we have mood lighting here you can choose different colors but here we also have the seat massage function. which is excellent for the driver and passenger.

I've done reviews of this system in many videos so I'm not going to go into this but I wanted to show you here that with this button we have a 360° camera with very good resolution and many settings here is a panoramic view by the way and if you we put it in reverse that's the backup camera and if the rear blind was up when you put it in reverse it goes back down as we go down from the touch screen we have all our climate control heated seats cooled seats at three different levels, in my opinion this is the best feature in the world and obviously lincoln is not the only one that has this most vehicles nowadays have it but one good thing to note is that they are air conditioned seats . not just ventilated seats so they actually cool you down on a very hot day here and then here we have a cubby two USB ports great little place here for your cell phone and in the middle here deep cubby stand too but when you buy Lincoln Continental , of course you'll spend most of your time driving so let's see what it's like on the highway so we've got a six cylinder 400 horsepower 400 pound-feet of torque it's definitely powerful these EcoBoost engines they are great when it comes to power Continental is about forty seven hundred pounds so of course it is meant to be a big luxury sedan it is by no means a performance vehicle so the handling gives you Some body roll, that ride is phenomenal, very smooth suspension. feels like a high end luxury car when we pass a Bentley Continental GT needs a good suspension living in Pittsburgh being the city of potholes the roads are horrible here now i quickly mentioned earlier in the video that in my previous upload i did a review of full drive of the Continental actually this car right here in POV format so if you want my full impressions of what it's like to drive the Continental definitely check out that video the Continental definitely gives you that premium a luxury field and when it's about comfort, I mean. it's just that it's unbeatable these seats I mean I'm speechless they're amazing these bolsters which are thick and very very soft they give you a lot of support and not in a super sporty way they give it in a comfort oriented way that

should

be in a car like this i have a feeling the Continental is some kind of hidden diamond people don't really know about this car they haven't experienced it and why is that i really don't know maybe it's lincoln's fault that they don't market it well enough because this car is amazing, the Continental doesn'tIt gets the credit it deserves in the segment amongst its competition which is mainly the Cadillac CT-6, Mercedes CLS Volvo S90 to name a few it is definitely up there. up there as one of the best if not the best now from a driving standpoint just the experience you get behind the wheel that comfort in these seeds in the premium feel of the interior that alone should put the Continental in the top of its segment and then for the passengers have everything they need back there find heated seats cooled seats massage seats their own entertainment system controls and all I want to say is this is a luxury vehicle now while this car is great and as I'm sure you can tell I love it its not perfect and knowing what the head of a car is from a driving position is great Rear headroom for someone my height and I'm 6ft 2 which could definitely be improved but that's probably the only complaint I could find to hurt my day with the Lincoln Continental, however that's just my words, this is a review of this car from you, You'll have to make up your mind and your own opinion if you're looking for a large luxury sedan and you're If you don't check out the Lincoln Continental, you should definitely check it out due to its price, as I mentioned at the beginning of the video.

I feel like this car deserves a higher price than it has. There is one thing of which I am sure. but what this car is that you get the most value for money in the segment with the Lincoln Continental Black Label at the current price the Continental starts at $45,000 and goes up to $83K so going forward my hope is that the Lincoln Continental can achieve the status it deserves in the large luxury sedan segment and with that said, I hope you enjoyed this 2018 Lincoln Continental Black Lake review, let me know what you think in the comments below if you like. stop for this. channel for the first time and you haven't done it yet please subscribe and see you in the next video bye
