2020 Lincoln MKZ
Luxury within reach - that’s the Lincoln MKZ - a midsize luxury sedan starting at just $36,750. Because maybe you’ve longed for luxury that’s just been out of reach. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Get the look, the fit and finish, the quality, and the features of a luxury car without getting a second mortgage. We’ll show you exactly what you get for your money and why the MKZ is a great deal.
Well-Appointed
You’re probably wondering what all you get for $36K, and the answer is a lot. In terms of tech options, you get a SYNC 3 infotainment system, 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, 11-speaker premium stereo, two USB ports, and Bluetooth. But we’re just getting started. There’s also synthetic leather seats, 10-way power-adjustable front seats, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and MyKey (to help foster those good driving habits with your teenagers). Finally, standard safety tech comes in the form of the Co-Pilot360 suite of safety features, which includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, pre-collision warning and braking system, pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, rearview camera, and automatic high-beam headlights. And that’s just the base model.
Grab the Reserve I trim to get navigation, HD Radio, two rear-charging USB ports, adaptive cruise control, leather-trimmed seats, and power trunk lid. Or grab the top-tier Reserve II trim for 14-speaker Revel sound system, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, moonroof, multicontour massaging front seats, ventilated front seats, front parking sensors, and parallel park assist. Even the top tier starts at only $45,000.
Going Green
Another strong selling point is the hybrid option. Unlike some of its competitors, the MKZ Hybrid comes at no extra charge. In case you’re new to the hybrid world, that’s quite a rarity. This may be one of the easiest ways of saving some fuel costs and going greener. The MKZ’s fuel economy goes from average (20/31 mpg) to awesome, with the Hybrid model getting 42 city miles and 39 highway miles per gallon.
Spacious Trunk
One of the disadvantages of a sedan over a truck, SUV, or hatchback is storage space. However, the Lincoln MKZ gives you a cavernous trunk that bests most of its competitors. We’re talking about 15.4 cubic feet of space. For reference, a paper grocery bag is about 0.4 cubes and the average carry-on luggage is 1.5 cubes. So, you have some versatile storage space here. The 1.4-kWh lithium ion battery pack shrinks the trunk’s size to 11.1 cubic feet in the Hybrid model, though that’s a small price to pay for hybrid technology at no extra charge. Luxury value at an amazing price is what the 2020 MKZ is all about.
