Lincoln MKZ Engine Lineup & Performance
Drivers of the Lincoln MKZ have three distinct engine options to choose from. The base level 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine comes outfitted with the 6-speed SelectShift® Automatic transmission with Paddle Shifters and can generate 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The next engine in line is the Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter V6, which comes paired with the same 6-speed Automatic, but propels the vehicle's abilities further to 350 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. However, when configured with AWD, the vehicle can actually push its horsepower to 400.
The final engine option in the Lincoln MKZ lineup is the 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle 4-cylinder Hybrid engine and a Permanent Magnet AC Synchronous Motor. The engine and motor come paired with the Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission. The combined force of the engine and motor allow this Lincoln MKZ model to deliver 188 net horsepower.
Lincoln MKZ MPG & Fuel Efficiency
You're now aware that the Lincoln MKZ is capable of some impressive feats when it comes to its performance and output. However, each of these engines has a specific fuel economy that varies. The base level 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo engine achieves an EPA estimated 21/31/241MPG city/highway/combined with FWD, and 20/28/23 MPG city/highway/combined with AWD.

The Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter V6 delivers the strongest performance of the bunch, but drops the vehicle's fuel efficiency to 18/27/21 MPG city/highway/combined with FWD and 17/26/20 MPG city/highway/combined when configured to AWD. The 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle 4-cylinder Hybrid engine, on the other hand, has the highest Lincoln MKZ MPG with 41/38/40 MPG city/highway/combined. This vehicle also features EcoSelect, which is a feature that lets you get the most out of your fuel by altering the performance to be more efficient, as well as reducing the power to certain systems in order to use up less fuel.
