2012 lincoln mkz Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...The Executive package adds upgraded leather upholstery and real wood interior trim. Powertrains and Performance: The 2012 Lincoln MKZ is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that puts out 263 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control is standard. Lincoln offers the MKZ in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Fuel economy is respectable, with EPA estimates of 18 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models and 17/24/19 for all-wheel-drive versions.

2012 Lincoln MKZ OverviewSource: CarGurus...EPA estimates peg the Base trim at 18 mpg city/27 highway and the AWD at 17/24. A variable-valve-timed (VVT) inline 4-cylinder engine teams with a 30-kilowatt electric motor in the Hybrid for 191 hp and 135 lb-ft of torque. The Hybrid has a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and regenerative braking helps to recharge the nickel-metal hydride battery. Fuel cutoff when decelerating and an auto-engine stop/start system combine with all of that to give the Hybrid EPA fuel mileage numbers of 41/36. The V6 provides plenty of power to get the 2012 Lincoln MKZ around, reviewers say. They find... |

2011 Lincoln MKZ Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...However, because the MKZ's automatic is good at what it does, you probably won't feel the need to override it. The MKZ comes standard with front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available for an extra $1,890. It'll also cost you more at the pump, as the all-wheel-drive model gets an EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg city/highway, versus 18/27 mpg for the front-wheel-drive sedan. The Inside I'm not a fan of all-gray interiors, which seem drab to me — even more so than all-black designs — but that's what our MKZ had. Getting past my own preferences, however, let me appreciate a cabin with... |

...All in all, the 2011 MKZ is a decent entry-level luxury sedan, with the new Hybrid trim a potential game-changer. |

2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...On the inside there's a little shine but mostly some luxury-type touches. Like heated and cooled Bridge of Weir leather seats and the wood trim and chrome details I mentioned earlier. With ambient lighting to help set the mood, any journey will be blissful in this hybrid sedan. What I had fun with in the MKZ Hybrid was the instrument cluster, which Lincoln calls the Smart Gauge with EcoGuide technology. This futuristic display with its "Star Trek" readout will dazzle even the most jaded car nuts. Heck, I'm used to futuristic stuff in cars and I'm dazzled. The readout can be set to display a... |

2006 Lincoln ZephyrSource: MSN Autos...Upscale Interior The Zephyr has the nicest interior of the new Ford Motor trio. It's quiet and nicely executed with real wood, high-quality leather and satin nickel and chrome trim. Electro-luminescent lighting illuminates the gauges—although the fuel and engine coolant temperature gauges are so small they almost seem like an afterthought. White lighting backlights controls and switches to make them easy to find at night. Major controls can be easily used, and dual-zone climate control should help keep occupants of the supportive, heated power front bucket seats comfortable. Fairly Roomy... |

Powertrains and Performance: The 2011 Lincoln MKZ is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 263 hp and 249 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic is the only available transmission, but it includes a manual shift control. Front-wheel drive is standard, while the optional AWD system is notable because it can transfer power from side to side as well as front to rear. In performance testing, an all-wheel-drive MKZ went from zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, which is competitive in this premium class. Fuel economy is... |
