Overview

Cars like the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid 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 MKZ Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a single motor hybrid system and a 1.4-kWh battery to produce 188 horsepower. This gives the MKZ Hybrid a 0-60 of 8.9 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 40 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the MKZ Hybrid competes with the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Kia Optima Hybrid, and the Toyota Camry Hybrid. It offers 4 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $35,170.

Buying Advice

Our pick is the second-in-line Select trim with the Technology Package and the Climate Package. These packages collectively add adaptive cruise control with stop & go, pedestrian detection, heated rear seats, auto high beams, and more.
