2020 Lexus LS vs. 2020 Lincoln Continental 3.0
Being the flagship of the Lexus sedans, the 2020 Lexus LS comes with a host of features befitting of this class of vehicle. From plush leather upholstery to an array of technological features, the Lexus LS is a car that will ensure you have a luxurious ride wherever you go.
The 2020 Lincoln Continental is also Lincoln’s flagship sedan and the car comes with a similar array of luxury features designed to give occupants a comfortable ride. These luxury features are complemented by a well-insulated cabin that keeps all the noise out. Let us compare these two cars.
Design & Style
When it comes to design and style, the Lexus LS is designed to offer an imposing presence anywhere it goes. Like all luxury sedans in its range, it had a large roomy interior with plenty of leg space for everyone. Owners get to choose from a variety of wood and leather trims. The rich leather upholstery and fine stitching give the interior a luxurious look.
As would be expected, the 2020 Lincoln Continental also comes with luxury features that include leather seats and a large roomy cabin. The body of the car is large and this has implications on fuel consumption. Although this category of cars is not renowned for fuel economy, the Continental is particularly bad, largely due to its bulky design.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to technology and safety, the 2020 Lexus LS offers a variety of features that include Amazon Alexa integration and voice recognition system. Infotainment is managed through a 12.3-inch screen. The graphics and resolution on the screen are excellent and the navigation system is easy to operate.
The 2020 Lincoln Continental features an 8-inch infotainment screen that runs on Ford’s Sync 3 operating system. Other tech features include a 10-speaker audio system as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Performance
The 2020 Lexus LS comes with a 3.4-liter turbocharged engine that is mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission. The engine provides adequate power to not only power this large sedan but to even deliver a thrilling ride on the open highway. Handling is excellent and the car corners surprisingly well for its size.
The Lincoln Continental comes with the option of three V6 engines and two of those have twin-turbos. While the output is excellent, the large size of the car as well as the fact that the Lincoln Continental is front-wheel driven means that this power is not fully felt when driving. While this should not be a problem to everyday driving, drivers looking for something extra from the Continental will probably be disappointed.
The Bottom Line
While the Lexus LS and the Lincoln Continental offer almost similar features, critical differences in engine performance, as well as fuel economy, set them apart. The Lexus LS delivers an outstanding performance whether you are in for a sporty ride or a laid-back highway cruise. This makes the Lexus LS the better of the two cars.
