Expert Rating

Unavailable

Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

Overview

Lincoln offers a choice between two gas engines: Ford’s 2.0 liter Ecoboost four-cylinder with 240 horsepower, and a 3.7-liter V6 good for an even 300 horsepower. Both the Ecoboost and the V6 use a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and AWD is available.

As before, there is no price difference between MKZ hybrids and comparably equipped gas-only models. The hybrid's 2.0 four-cylinder and electric motor produces 188 horsepower, and gets an impressive 45 mpg in city and highway driving. While the hybrid is bound to be slower than average for this class of automobile, its gas mileage is tops in the luxury field, and among the best regardless of class. It's a rather stunning achievement for a highly equipped, roomy sedan.
