2021 Audi A7 vs. 2021 Lincoln Continental
The 2021 Lincoln Continental is definitive proof that Lincoln can design a luxury car capable of competing with and even surpassing many of its European counterparts. Its prestigious appearance, ultra high end interior and impressive V6 engine is almost irresistible. But what happens when it goes up against the 2021 Audi A7, an elegant and high performance vehicle that is considered by many to be one of the best in the world?
Design & Style
The Audi A7 uses a fastback style roof with a dip toward the tail. A spoiler automatically activates at seventy five miles per hour, which is a nice touch. The cabin is relaxing and spacious yet fully loaded with state of the art tech. The seats are swanky and comfortable and the digital screens close and disappear when not in use. The Lincoln Continental displays the perfect blend of classic design touches combined with a modern accent. The headlights are shaped like the brand’s logo and the door handles are fully integrated within the chrome. The interior is covered darkened blue leather with glossy wood and chrome in all the right places.
Technology & Safety
The Continental has done exceptionally well on every crash test thrown its way. This has resulted in it receiving a five star NHTSA rating and Top Safety Pick award from the IIHS. Just a few of its safety features include lane control, blind area monitoring and high beam automatic headlights. Luxuries within the cabin include remote start, keyless ignition, ambient lights, and Bluetooth and climate control. The Audi A7 also received a Top Safety Pick award, has successfully passed every crash test and is equipped with all the features found in the Lincoln, including a camera with surround view and driver assist. Its cabin perks include dual touchscreens, heated seats, climate control, Apple CarPlay, and dampers which are adaptive.
Performance
The Audi A7 is powered by a dual turbo V6 that is 3 liter and capable of generating 335 horsepower. A dual clutch seven speed automatic transmission is used to transfer power to each of the four wheels. This allows it to cruise from zero to sixty in just 5.2 seconds. The Lincoln Continental is also outfitted with a V6 that is 3.7 liter and capable of generating 305 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A7 and Lincoln Continental are both so well designed that they’re almost tied, almost. Unfortunately for the Lincoln, its engine is not as powerful, its six speed automatic is sluggish and it has inferior fuel economy, making the Audi A7 the winner.
