What are the differences between Lincoln MKZ and Continental?
2 Answers
First, the official price difference is that the Lincoln Continental is priced higher than the MKZ. In terms of body size, the Lincoln Continental also has an advantage. The Lincoln Continental measures 5115*1912*1492mm, while the Lincoln MKZ measures 4925*1864*1477mm. Below are the specific differences between the two: 1. Exterior: The star-style front grille design gives the MKZ a more fashionable feel, and the chrome-plated front grille performs well both during the day and at night. The new LED headlight cluster features adaptive high and low beams on the top trim level, with the matrix LED headlights adjusting according to the steering wheel's direction. A straight waistline runs from the headlights through the entire body, ending at the rear fender, giving the MKZ a more elongated overall shape. 2. Configuration: The Lincoln Continental continues the design style and configuration of the previous 3.0T President Edition, maintaining the materials and craftsmanship expected at this level. The large chrome mesh front grille, paired with the full LED headlight cluster, creates a strong sense of premium quality. The yacht-like body shape looks very impressive, with long and smooth side lines. The door handle integrated with the window trim along the lower edge of the side window is a major highlight of the car, and the E-Latch door handle floating on the door further enhances the vehicle's sense of luxury.
As an automotive enthusiast who frequently studies cars, I believe the biggest differences between the Lincoln MKZ and the Lincoln Continental lie in their size and positioning. The MKZ is a mid-size luxury sedan, more compact overall, with a sportier driving feel, quick power response, making it ideal for city commuting. The Continental, on the other hand, is a full-size flagship, offering massive space, with rear seats resembling large sofas, providing exceptional comfort for long-distance travel, making it more suitable for family gatherings or business occasions. In terms of engines, the MKZ is equipped with a 2.0T or 3.0T, delivering 250-400 horsepower, with relatively low fuel consumption; the Continental comes with a V6 engine, exceeding 400 horsepower, offering stable acceleration but higher fuel consumption. Both have excellent safety features, but the Continental includes more assist systems, such as automatic parking. Price-wise, the Continental starts several tens of thousands more, but if you're pursuing ultimate comfort, it's worth a try.
