Ford's luxury brand Lincoln returned on the market with the Continental name, after dropping the three-letter style that was adopted for several years and, in 2016, it introduced its new flagship.

The Continental name was out of the market for 14 years, but the market didn't forget it. It was the tenth generation and it offered more than any Lincoln before in terms of technology. It didn't feature the biggest engine, but it was the most powerful up to 2016.

One major component of the car was the stance. The tenth generation of the Continental featured a big chromed grille and LED headlights in the front. It didn't have an aggressive styling, but a dominant stance on the road. The three box-sedan was designed with curved and ample lines. The door handles were on a chromed line along with the bodywork and they featured a switch to open the door.

Inside, the luxury interior was designed to match the European competition. The front seats had up to 30 power adjustable ways, including the sides, the hips, the headrest, the upper side, and so on. The infotainment touch-screen was installed on the center stack. The center console resembled an airplane cockpit, but with fewer buttons on it. The instrument cluster was completely digital, with a TFT screen.

Under the hood, there was a choice of engines ranging up to 400 hp from a twin-turbo V6 unit. The all-wheel-drive system was standard for the top of the range model and offered as an option for the less-powered versions.
