The initial Lincoln MKZ model launched in 2007 used a 3.5L V6 engine generating 263 horsepower along with a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle reached 60 mph from a standstill in about 6.8 seconds. The dynamic power distribution of the intelligent all-wheel-drive system in this model improved road grip for various driving conditions. In 2011 Lincoln introduced a hybrid variant of the MKZ which made their entry into hybrid technology possible using a four-cylinder engine. The 2013 second-generation Lincoln MKZ employed CD4 platform construction which supported a selection of powertrains featuring a 2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 240 horsepower and its hybrid version utilizing the same base unit. Automatic headlights became standard in all Lincoln MKZ models together with rear parking sensors and a rearview camera to enhance safety and comfort for drivers. All Lincoln MKZ versions received automatic headlights and sensors in both the rear and front areas to boost safety measures while providing driver comfort. All original factory performances of the Lincoln MKZ remain uncompromised through the use of tested genuine parts that pass safety tests before receiving installation authorization. As production ceased in 2020 the Lincoln MKZ left the market but managed to remain a significant force in luxury sedan competition because of its stylish design combined with technologically advanced features alongside robust fuel efficiency.
