2017 Lincoln Continental Performance and Engine

Twin-Turbocharged V6 Power

Under the hood sits a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, which produces a robust 335 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque in the Continental Reserve configuration. This powertrain was shared with premium Ford and Lincoln products of the era and earned a strong reputation for responsive, confident acceleration that suits the Continental's grand touring character perfectly. The engine is paired with a smooth 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, which allows drivers to take manual control of gear selection when desired without sacrificing the ease of full automatic operation in everyday driving.

This Continental is front-wheel drive, which on a vehicle of this size and weight actually provides excellent traction in wet and snowy Michigan winters. The suspension tuning leans into comfort over sport, delivering the kind of smooth, composed ride that buyers expect from a Lincoln flagship. Whether you're navigating downtown Detroit or cruising along I-94, this powertrain strikes a satisfying balance between effortless performance and fuel efficiency.

Lincoln Continental Features and Interior

Reserve Trim Appointments

The Reserve trim on the 2017 Continental was designed to impress. Standard features at this level typically include Lincoln's signature Perfect Position 30-way adjustable front seats, genuine wood and metal interior trim, a premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power panoramic sunroof. The interior is wrapped in quality materials throughout, with soft-touch surfaces and carefully considered design details that remind you this is a true luxury automobile.

Technology features on the 2017 Continental Reserve include the SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a rearview camera, and available Lincoln Drive Modes that adjust throttle response and steering feel to suit your mood. Safety features include Lincoln's suite of driver assistance technology, including available pre-collision assist, lane-keeping alert, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring — all meaningful features on a used vehicle that help make highway driving genuinely less stressful.

Lincoln Continental Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Lincoln Continental has generally earned positive marks from owners for its ride comfort, interior quality, and powertrain smoothness. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 has a solid track record across numerous Ford and Lincoln applications, and when serviced at recommended intervals, it holds up well over time. Common ownership notes include praise for the quiet, isolated cabin and the exceptional seat comfort on longer drives.

As with any used luxury vehicle, it's worth ensuring the coolant system, turbo intercoolers, and transmission fluid have been serviced on schedule. Buyers who keep up with maintenance on these vehicles are routinely rewarded with a trouble-free ownership experience. At just over 91,000 miles, this Continental is in a range where a pre-purchase inspection can offer peace of mind, and its remaining mechanical life — when properly maintained — is substantial.
