Overview

Cars like the 2020 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness 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 and 129 lb-ft of torque. This gives the MKZ Hybrid a 0-60 of 8.8 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 2020 MKZ Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 41 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the MKZ Hybrid competes with the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Buick LaCrosse Hybrid, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and the Lexus ES 300h Hybrid. It offers standalone trim that carries an MSRP of $42,500.

Buying Advice

This is the last chance to get your hands-on the MKZ Hybrid as Lincoln has decided to send it off with the 2020 model year. That said, some standard features offered on the MKZ Hybrid are leather heated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, a 14-speaker sound system, a power moonroof, power-tilt/-telescoping steering column with memory feature, power trunk, adaptive cruise control, enhanced active park assist, and more. Meanwhile, Luxury Package, Elements, Package, Magnetic Package, and Monochromatic Package are also available.
