Overview
The 2013 Lincoln MKZ is a midsize sedan offered as a standalone trim with a base MSRP of $35,295. For that price, it mainly competes with the Buick LaCrosse, the Hyundai Genesis, and the Lexus ES 350. That said, the 2013 Lincoln MKZ sedan offers 2 engine options. The base engine is a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 capable of making 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.7L V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic. The MKZ reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.2 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.7 seconds with the 3.7L V6. Depending on the powertrain, the MKZ can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 22 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the MKZ comes in really pull you towards itself.
