The 2012 Lincoln MKZ is a luxury midsize sedan built by Ford's premium brand. Offered in a single well-equipped trim, its power comes from a standard 263-hp 3.5-liter V6 or a hybrid setup that combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor, delivering 191 combined horsepower. Both engine options are mated with a six-speed automatic transmission while the hybrid version delivers impressive fuel economy. The cabin is highly rated for its comfort with standard amenities like leather seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 10-speaker stereo. The infotainment system comes equipped with Ford's Sync voice command system, satellite radio and Bluetooth. Key safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front side-impact airbags and side curtain-type airbags.
