The value-oriented Select model has been deleted from the lineup for 2020, which now includes just three trims: Standard, Reserve, and Black Label. The mid-range Reserve and top-spec Black Label both come with a power liftgate as standard. In addition, the Reserve can now be had with the Lincoln Co-Pilot Plus package, which adds adaptive cruise control with lane centering, a 360-degree exterior camera system, evasive steering assist, and a self-parking feature.
Pros Cushy ride, refined powertrains, spacious and well-equipped interior.
Cons High-end models cost a pretty penny, dinky 8.0-inch infotainment screen, probably too cushy.
Pros Beautifully sculpted bodywork, delightfully athletic and equally refined, decidedly more premium than competitors.
Cons Non-turbo engine needs more oomph, can only tow up to 2000 pounds, unremarkable cargo capacity.
Pros Classy cabin Sporty ride Lots of standard safety features
Cons Below-average cargo space for the class Cramped rear seats
