All-New Lincoln Continental Earns Top Safety Pick+ Award

The all-new Lincoln Continental has earned the highest award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety due to its available crash prevention system, along with the good rating achieved on crash tests and its optional adaptive LED headlamps.

2017 Lincoln Continental


Here's why the 2017 Lincoln Continental, Lincoln's flagship sedan, has secured the coveted Top Safety Pick+:

  • Available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection system earned a superior rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. 
  • Lincoln's luxurious sedan secured a good rating for its optional adaptive LED headlamps 
  • Good ratings on all five crashworthiness tests secured the vehicle's Top Safety Pick+ which is the agency’s highest award. 

Available Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection 

The Lincoln Continental, equipped with Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, avoided collisions in track tests at 12 mph and 25 mph. The system’s forward collision warning component also meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criteria.

The system, which is designed to reduce the severity of and, in some cases, even eliminate frontal collisions – including those involving pedestrians – uses radar and camera technology to provide a collision warning to the driver. If the driver does not respond in time, it can automatically apply the vehicle brakes.

Optional adaptive LED headlamps 

The car’s available adaptive LED headlamps earned a good rating, providing ample lighting on a straightaway and on most curves. The headlamps use high-beam assist, a feature that automatically switches between high beams and low beams, depending on the presence of other vehicles.

Good ratings on all five crashworthiness tests

Vehicles qualify for a Top Safety Pick+ if they have good ratings in five crashworthiness tests – small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints – plus an available front crash prevention system that earns a superior or advanced rating, and good or acceptable headlights.
