Overview

Cars like the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid uses its 2.5L Inline-4 engine along with a single electric motor to produce 191 horsepower via a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This gives the MKZ Hybrid a 0-60 of 8.7 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the MKZ Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 39 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the MKZ Hybrid competes with the Lexus HS 250h, and indirectly with the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, and the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It is offered in a single trim, starting off at an MSRP of $34,645.

Buying Advice

The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is an all-new offering to the hybrid segment with a reasonable price tag and commendable fuel efficiency. With just one trim on offer, it features dual-zone climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated and ventilated power front seats with memory functions, leather upholstery, a nine-speaker stereo with a six-CD changer, heated side mirrors, rear parking sensors, and plenty more.

              A car worth buying and here is why.

              Pros - ["Panoramic sunroof", "Multiple seat savings"]

              Cons - ["Gas mileage is only 18 mpg", "Pricey to fix compare to other vehicles"]

              The 2011 Lincoln MKT is a luxury crossover SUV that combines comfort, performance, and advanced technology in a sleek package. It serves well as both a family hauler and an executive transporter. **Exterior and Design:** The MKT stands out with its distinctive split-wing grille and sculpted lines.

              Good family car

              Pros - ["It is very roomy", "It has a third row", "The moon roof is huge"]

              Cons - ["It is a gas guzzler", "It takes premium", "It gets very hot inside"]

              This car has been great for my family but not for my wallet. It is roomy and the kids have many different seating options. But it has terrible gas mileage and also takes premium so a lose lose there. We haven't had to put much work in except for once so it is pretty reliable.
