, this one

cost

s eighty-one thousand six hundred and fifty-five dollars. Spending all day with this incredible car and opting for a Lincoln Continental Black Label will

cost

you eighty-three thousand five hundred dollars now, although that is a lot of money for a car in today's era. In fact, I think it's a little underrated when you compare it to its competition, so in today's video I'm going to show you why the Lincoln Continental Black Label

should

actually cost

more

money and of course we'll start with the exterior because this is a magnificent vehicle that we approach.

The front end of the Lincoln Continental

here

, the new style grille that most Lincolns have now, in my opinion, looks amazing and when you turn on the lights, we have beautiful LED daytime running lights and also headlights, the fog lights as well. They are LED and From the front, the Continental looks like it is supposed to look elegant and luxurious. Now we will talk about the engine alternatives offered by the Continental. There are three, all are six cylinders. The entry level is naturally a 3.7 liter. Aspirated V6 with 305 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, one step up we have the 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that produces 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque;

However, our test vehicle here today, being fully loaded, has the premium engine alternative and It is the 3-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost v6 that produces 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, now coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission and, although front-wheel drive is standard, the one we have here today as an option on all four wheels. -driving system, the side of the vehicle also looks great and has beautiful smooth wide lines, although I mean if I'm going to be critical of something it may be too raked at the rear for my taste, not that It looks bad, but it could be a little

more

aggressive, not that it needs a big wing or anything, but there is just a small spoiler.

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 normal door handles like normal cars just put your hand here if you have the key in pocket. unlocks, we'll 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 Lincoln, you also get the keypad here. each owner receives a five digit code, basically what that means is that you can leave all your belongings in the vehicle, including your key, and you lock the car by holding down zero s

even

, eight, and nine, and then you can unlock it with your code five digits.

Lincoln has a capless fuel tank system, it's also patented by Ford and this tank holds 18 gallons of fuel, so when we get to the back of the Lincoln here, I mean, it's absolutely beautiful, it's got the wide headlights. LED tailgates that give it a very stylish look, it is a very beautiful vehicle, we also have a dual exhaust tip setup, a big Lincoln badge on the tailgate and let's open it up, it has the kick motion, just slide your foot down as long as you have the key in your It opens in your pocket or in your hand, we have 17 cubic feet of cargo space here.

I just have a ton of camera gear, but you can easily fit a couple golf bags, a lot of luggage, or just a bunch of groceries, whatever you prefer, I also have a button right here to close the liftgate. Now this color is platinum white. It is a beautiful metallic color with an incredible shine. I really hope you can see that on camera here there are, of course, several different color options for the Continental, although it looks very, very nice in platinum white. This is the key that you get with the Continental Smart Access Remote, of course, there is no scientific advancement here in the actual remote, we have an unlock button, the lock button, remote start, open the trunk and then now you panic to remote start, press the lock button once and double click now all

lincoln

s have three main trim levels, it starts with the premiere and then the select and then also reserve, if that's not good enough , you choose the Black Label which gives you additional benefits such as a concierge service to pick you up and drop you off when your vehicle needs a service, you can leave it on loan if you wish and also when it comes to the interior you can choose different themes and this one that we have here today. has a track called Rhapsody which is absolutely beautiful, let's check it out now.

This theme is in bloom in Venetian leather mixed with suede and is absolutely beautiful. You can also get a red interior and also a light and leather interior which we'll start with. a door here soft touch leather here for the armrest 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 one has the perfect position seating package, which means you have a 30-way power seat, so when we lift the seat up here you can get a closer look.

I've been in a lot of luxury vehicles, I own one and a Lincoln by far owns the game. Industry wide when it comes to seat comfort, this seat is absolutely amazing. I already mentioned this when I reviewed the Lincoln Navigator for those of you who have seen it, but it's worth mentioning again no matter what size it is. o woman I promise you that you will find this seat comfortable there is a setting just for you and your preference now that 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 Leg. support for your right leg the next button here is of course for your left leg, so just look at this headrest, it comes out, it moves up, it moves down and not only can you adjust your back back and forth, you can adjust the outside of this seat.

Also, needless to say, this seat is amazing, it's so comfortable that I'm not going to go over every single function here because it would take too much time, but of course we have memory settings for our three different drivers and if we just take one look at these speakers we will 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 and to open the door you have a button here now we are. we're going to jump in here and we're going to start the car, which you do here, of course, put your foot on the brake, but before we talk about the driving position and the way this car drives and all the technology that has here, In fact, we're going to jump into the back seat because this Black Label continental, being completely optional, it has the rear seat package that we're going to talk about here real quick because it's amazing in itself, it actually folds down right here. and If we start here, it has cup holders there, it has 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 a rare thing

even

for a luxury vehicle of 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 it is an amazing stereo as I mentioned the Revel Ultima 19 speaker system I think it has about 1200 watts of power here 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 shade and then this button here is for the rear shade but wait there's more the back seat it's also adjustable and this The button here is a massaging rear seat so yeah, I mean this car is fully equipped with so many convenience features even for a passenger that it blows my mind and the entire headliner here is blue Alcantara and I think it's so amazing that Lincoln offers the Black Label with these cool themes, a blue interior is pretty rare these days and this one, which has it all the way to the headliner in blue Alcantara, is yes, it's stylish, but now let's get down to it. the driver's seat with soft close door for the passenger door as well, so the Continental is packed with all the technical features you could want, plus I would add autonomous driving, but here we have adaptive cruise control, it also has Park Assist active, the lane keeping system we use.

In the previous video where I made a POV driving experience video of the Continental, we also have a bliss that means blind spot information system and these side mirrors because of the way they fold and fold every time you close the car as well and most of this can be controlled with the buttons on the steering wheel, then we also have an amazing head-up display which is new for 2018 and you get it with the tech package and again I went over this in the POV walkthrough we did in the previous video but It has incredible, excellent resolution and gives you a lot of information.

Now moving on to the center console of the Continental, this is quite interesting because this is where you have the very different gear selector, obviously you have a gear lever on the right. Here or like many other cars today, they have a rotary dial shifter, but Lincoln chooses to do it on the side of the touchscreen. It's very different. It takes a little 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 excellent, very responsive, full Apple Carplay capability.

We have ambient lighting. Here you can choose different colors, but here we also have the massage seat function. which is great for the driver and passenger. I've reviewed this system in many videos, so I'm not going to go over it in depth, but I wanted to show you here with this button that we have a 360-degree camera with very good resolution and many different features. settings, here's a panoramic view, by the way, and if 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 come down from the touch screen, we have all our weather. controls heated seats cooled seats 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 today have it, but one good thing a Keep in mind that they are air-conditioned seats. not just ventilated seats to really cool you down on a really hot day here and then here we have a cubby with two USB ports, a great little place here for your cell phone and in the middle here also a deep cubby holder there , but when you buy a Lincoln Continental, of course you will spend most of your time driving, so let's see what the road is like.

We have a six-cylinder engine, 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It's definitely powerful. These EcoBoost engines are great. When it comes to power, the Continental weighs in at around forty seven hundred pounds, so of course it is meant to be a large luxury sedan, it is by no means a performance vehicle, so when it comes to handling, it will give you It gives some body roll, that ride is phenomenal, very soft suspension. It feels like a high-end luxury car when we go through a Bentley Continental GT, you need a good suspension. Living in Pittsburgh is a bumpy city.

The roads here are horrible. I quickly mentioned earlier in the video that in my previous upload I did a full driving review. of the Continental actually, this car is here in POV format, so if you want to know my full impressions of what it's like to drive the Continental, definitely watch that video. The Continental definitely gives you that realm of premium luxury and when it comes to comfort, I mean. It's, it's just unbeatable, these seats, I mean, I have no words, they're incredible, these bolsters that are thick and very, very soft, they just give you a lot of support and not in a super sporty way, they give it in a way that's geared toward comfort, as it

should

.

Being in a car like this, I get the feeling that the Continental is some kind of hidden diamond. People don't really know this car, they haven't experienced it and why it is like that. I don't really know, maybe it's Lincoln's fault for not marketing it well enough because this car is amazing, the Continental doesn't get the credit it deserves in the segment among its competitors which are mainly the Cadillac ct-6, theMercedes CLS Volvo s90, to name a few, is definitely up there. exists as one of the best, if not the best, from a driving point of view, just the experience you have 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 they have everything they need back there to find seats, heated and cooled seats, massaging seats, their own entertainment system controls and everything I mean, this is a vehicle luxury now, although this car is great and as I'm sure you can see, I love it, it's not perfect. and I know what no car is the head from a driving position is excellent.

Headroom in the back for someone my height and I'm 6ft 2, that could definitely be improved, but that's probably the only complaint I've been able to find that hurts me. my day with the Lincoln Continental, though, those are just my words. This is a review of this car done by yours truly. You'll have to make your own decision and your own opinion if you're looking for a large luxury sedan and If you don't check out the Lincoln Continental, you should definitely check it out because of its price, as I mentioned at the beginning of the video. I feel like this car deserves a higher price than what it has.

There is one thing I am sure of. But what is this car you get? The best bang for your buck in the segment with the Lincoln Continental Black Label at today's price. The Continental starts at $45,000 and goes up to $83k, so in the future 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 review of the 2018 Lincoln Continental Black Lake.
