Standard safety features include dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), traction control, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional features include side airbags, stability control, and a rear parking assist system, providing comprehensive protection for occupants.

Q4

How does the fuel economy compare to competitors?

The Lincoln LS V6 achieves an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, while the V8 achieves 17 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. These figures are competitive with other luxury sedans of the era, such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
