Last year Lincoln revealed the Continental as a concept at the Detroit Auto Show and the production version looks pretty close to the concept, although it’s been toned down a bit. From the front you’ll see Lincoln’s new grille, which has also been applied to the restyled MKZ.

The seats also have a massaging function, in addition to being able to be heated or cooled. Rear passengers also get heated, cooled and massaging seats.
