Lincoln

An elegant exterior design, a luxurious interior, exceptional performance and an ultra-smooth, quiet ride: Designers artfully packaged each of these classic Lincoln characteristics together in a premium midsize sedan to create the MKZ. The award-winning 3.5-liter Duratec V6 powers the MKZ, delivering 263 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 249 ft.-lb. of torque at 4,500 rpm on regular gasoline while still projected to remain among the segment leaders in fuel economy with 18 mpg in the city and 27 highway projected for the front-wheel-drive model. A six-speed SelectShift Automatic™ transmission is standard on all MKZ models except Hybrid. The MKZ Hybrid's projected fuel economy tops its nearest competitor by 6 mpg. It also has room for one more passenger, and more standard luxury and segment-exclusive safety features. Industry-leading fuel economy comes without sacrificing power. The combined gasoline engine and electric motor provide 191 net horsepower. Plus, the pure electric mode on the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid extends to 47 mph - compared with the Lexus HS 250h battery-only mode, which reaches just 25 mph.
