2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid – Most Fuel Efficient Luxury Sedan in America

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid was honored with the title of being the most fuel efficient luxury sedan in America, promising 41 MPG when it hits the city streets in the fall of 2010.  The recognition comes with great engineering and in a market that is extremely competitive when it comes to saving gas in a luxury vehicle.

Many of the most fuel efficient vehicles are not desirable to the luxury buying segment because of their size and focus on being more economic than comfortable, and are usually not what one would consider luxury.

The Lincoln brand has been widely known as a high end luxury vehicle that has always been about comfort and style.  Even back in the days of the Mark VII’s they were in a class of their own with the roomy leather interior and functionality that most cars wouldn’t dream of having.

The Lincoln MKZ is a culmination of years in the making and it seems appropriate that this vehicle should earn such a title due to the extreme reliability and focus on providing not only a comforting driving experience, but one that is technological in almost every regard.

Lincoln has always been ahead of the rest it seems from their interactive dash board and more interior controls and features than one could ever learn about.  The engineers were truly passionate about this brand and the merging of great technology, innovation, and luxury.

In addition, the automakers are becoming more competitive in trying to win over lifetime customers who are loyal to the brand so expect that if you become a Lincoln owner, you’ll have a hard time finding something as luxurious and affordable at a suggested MSRP of $34225.

The 2010 Lincoln MKT Defies Expectations

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Lincoln seems to have created a paradox with the 2010 MKT. How can a luxury crossover with three-row seating blend such high performance with efficiency, such immense interior room with handling agility and such supreme luxury with compelling value?

When Car & Driver magazine road testers got the chance to compare the all-new Lincoln MKT with 3.5-liter EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive to the Audi Q7 V8, they came away mightily impressed – with the MKT. Said Car & Driver in its July test drive, “…on Ford’s undulating ride-and-handling course and five-mile banked oval, the MKT exhibited reassuring composure and had more than enough grunt to outrun the V8-powered Audi Q7 on hand for comparison.”

The 2010 Lincoln MKX Is Crossover Excellence

Friday, December 11th, 2009

The first glance at the 2010 Lincoln MKX brings to mind Lincoln luxury, from the retro grille evoking reminders of the 1960’s Continental to a distinctive rear strip of LED taillights. The MKX is available in one trim with an impressive list of standard features that are optional in other luxury crossovers.

The competition in the luxury crossover category is intense, and the 2010 MKX is up to the challenge. This five-passenger vehicle comes equipped with 18-inch wheels, rear parking sensors, a power liftgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seating, a tilt-and-telescope steering column and heated and cooled power front seats. Interior cabin design is luxurious, but not overstated, with real wood and satin-nickel accents and easy-to-read gauges.
