At Tri State Auto, we take pride in showcasing luxury vehicles that balance elegance, comfort, and capability—and few brands deliver that balance quite like Lincoln. Today, I’m comparing three standout sedans on our lot: the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Select FWD, the 2017 Lincoln Continental Select FWD, and the 2015 Lincoln MKS 3.7L FWD. Each has a distinct personality, yet all three embody the craftsmanship and sophistication that define the Lincoln name.

First Impressions That Last

Exterior Elegance in Every Form

Each Lincoln sedan in this lineup wears its style differently. The MKZ Hybrid leans into sleek aerodynamics with a modern, fluid shape that feels athletic and refined. The Continental presents itself with a more commanding silhouette—wider, longer, and unapologetically stately. Meanwhile, the MKS embraces classic luxury cues with a bold grille, graceful curves, and timeless design language. Whether finished in Silver, Black, or White, each of these sedans radiates upscale presence from the very first glance.

The Comfort of a Private Lounge

Crafted Cabins with Quiet Confidence

Lincoln knows how to treat its occupants, and that’s clear the moment you open the door. I’m consistently impressed with how hushed and plush these interiors are. In the MKZ Hybrid, you’ll find high-end materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and an emphasis on efficiency-focused design. The Continental steps things up with more expansive seating, deeper cushioning, and elegant wood and leather trim that invites longer journeys. The MKS, while the most senior of the three, doesn’t fall behind—it offers premium finishes and a cabin that still feels relevant and refined. All three provide tech-savvy amenities and comfort-focused engineering that elevate every drive.

Under the Hood, Over the Top

Powertrains That Fit Your Lifestyle

Each model in this trio offers a unique approach to performance. The 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid delivers 188 horsepower via a 2.0L hybrid engine, providing a smooth, quiet ride while keeping fuel costs low. For those who value efficiency without sacrificing class, this is a standout.

The 2017 Continental Select packs a 3.7L V6 that produces 305 horsepower, offering a more spirited response on the throttle. It blends refined road manners with athletic muscle—ideal if you appreciate power with polish.

Then there’s the 2015 Lincoln MKS, also equipped with a 3.7L V6 and 305 horsepower, providing confident acceleration and strong highway performance. Despite its age, it holds its ground with satisfying drive quality and a solid on-road demeanor.

A Look at the Bottom Line

Pricing with Purpose

Affordability doesn’t have to mean compromise—these three prove that. The MKZ Hybrid is priced at $15,990, making it a smart choice for those wanting a fuel-conscious yet fully luxurious experience. If you’re after a more commanding vehicle with a rich, executive presence, the Continental offers all that at just $16,990, a figure that feels like a steal for what it delivers. And for those looking to stretch their dollar furthest, the MKS lands at $9,990—a rare opportunity to enjoy full-size Lincoln refinement at a fraction of the cost.

These prices reflect real value, and when paired with Lincoln’s legacy for reliability and quality, they offer peace of mind with every mile.

Your Next Lincoln Awaits

No matter which model you’re leaning toward, I can assure you that each of these sedans offers something uniquely satisfying. The MKZ Hybrid is a tech-savvy, eco-conscious daily driver. The Continental blends traditional luxury with modern flair. The MKS offers a classic Lincoln experience with comfort and composure built in. It all depends on what you prioritize—but rest assured, luxury is a given.
