2017 Lincoln Continental vs. E300

The 2017 Lincoln Continental and the Mercedes-Benz E300 are two of the most talked-about luxury sedans in the area, but which one will deliver the power, performance, and features you need to enjoy cruising through Anaheim, Long Beach, and Cerritos? 

Check out this 2017 Lincoln Continental vs. Mercedes-Benz E300 comparison provided by Norm Reeves Lincoln to find out.  

Luxury Performance 

The 2017 Lincoln Continental is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine with twin turbochargers. This engine is expected to deliver an impressive fuel-efficient performance and up to 400 horsepower. An available all-wheel-drive system is featured as well to further enhance stability and overall performance.  

But above all, the 2017 Lincoln Continental includes the innovative Lincoln Drive Control system. With this, you can select three suspension options and steering adjustments to customize the performance to your exact preferences. Other performance features for the Lincoln Continental include Auto Hold, which maintains brake pressure even after you've removed your foot from the pedal.  

The Mercedes E300 sedan has a 2.0-liter engine that's capable of producing an efficient performance. Unfortunately, it can't provide great levels of power. This engine only generates 241 horsepower. On top of that, it doesn't come with a similar system like Lincoln Drive Control.  

Infotainment and Safety Options 

Both luxury sedans are equipped with advanced technologies to enhance your overall driving experience. The 2017 Lincoln Continental has SYNC® 3. This newly designed and upgraded infotainment system features a user-friendly interface and an updated voice recognition system for easier operation. In addition, this infotainment system includes smartphone integration technologies so you can use apps, makes calls, and read texts safely and easily when you're behind the wheel.  

The Mercedes-Benz E300 also has an advanced infotainment system. This allows you to make calls and play your personal playlists while you're traveling. It can't, however, let you read texts or use mobile apps because it doesn't come with the same technologies offered in the SYNC® 3 system. It can also be more difficult to use since it wasn't upgraded to feature a more user-friendly interface and voice recognition system.  

These two sedans do share some common ground. Both are equipped with helpful driver assist technologies for your peace of mind and safety for everyone on board.  

Interior Comforts 

As luxury vehicles, you can expect each sedan to come with a variety of interior amenities designed to make your rides comfortable. For example, the 2017 Lincoln Continental is equipped with an advanced climate control and a spacious interior.  

It also offers the new Perfect Position Seats. These can adjust 30 different ways and can conform to your body's shape and weight to keep you comfortable even during the longest car rides. On top of that, it offers additional options like a massaging function and thigh extensions for extra comfort and support.  

The Mercedes-Benz E300 offers climate control systems and comfortable seats as well. Unfortunately, its seats don't provide the extra support and comfort options needed to help you enjoy your rides.  

Which Luxury Sedan Is Right for You? 

The Mercedes-Benz E300 is a decent option for drivers in Anaheim, Long Beach, and Cerritos. But if you're looking for something with more power, innovation, and overall comfort and convenience, consider the 2017 Lincoln Continental.  

The 2017 Lincoln Continental will hit showrooms in the fall of 2016. Those interested in learning more about this new model's features and performance can call Norm Reeves Lincoln today!
