When it comes time to purchase a new car, there are a lot of options to consider, and you might need some help deciding which ones you actually want and need. If you're considering an upgrade to a luxury sedan, you've likely taken a look at the Lincoln MKZ. The vehicle is available in several different trim levels, each offering a different combination of features. But how do you know which is right for you? This review of the Lincoln MKZ trim levels from the team at Norm Reeves Lincoln will help you answer that question by providing an in-depth look at what each trim level has to offer.
Lincoln MKZ: An Overview
The Lincoln MKZ is a luxury midsize car from Lincoln, the perfect size for the average commuter or a small family to travel the streets of Cerritos, Long Beach, and Anaheim in style. The MKZ comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0L engine that produces 245 horsepower and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The base engine achieves an EPA-estimated 21 city/31 highway MPG.
For extra power, you can upgrade to the twin-turbo V6 engine, which pumps out 400 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard on all trims, and all-wheel drive is available with the two gas engines. For no additional cost, you can also opt for a hybrid powertrain in order to save yourself some cash at the pump. The hybrid comes with a 2.0L engine and offers 188-horsepower, and an impressive fuel economy rating of 41 city/38 highway MPG.
