Overview
The 2014 Lincoln MKZ is a midsize sedan offered as a standalone trim with a base MSRP of $35,190. For that price, it mainly competes with the Volvo S80, the Acura TL, and the Audi A4. That said, the MKZ offers 2 powertrains. 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. There is also a hybrid engine on offer. 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 22 and 26 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the MKZ comes in really pull you towards itself.
