The much loved Lincoln MKZ is back in a new form and design. MKZ has been Ford Lincoln’s best selling product for a long time and the sedan has gotten a makeover. It was unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show and lovers of the car sat up and took notice. The most noticeable change was the new grille design that looks curiously similar to the British luxury brand car manufactures Bentley and Jaguar. Looking at the specs and the design, we at Pines Ford predict that Lincoln MKZ would be the car of 2016.
The General Specs
The MKZ comes with a variety of options but the most important specs of the luxury sedan are listed here:
· A beefy 3.0L, twin turbocharged V-6 400 horsepower GTDi engine with a 400 lb-ft torque for the top-of-the-line model with an all wheel drive.
· A 2.0L GTDi EcoBoost Four cylinder engine with 245 horsepower for the MKZ Hybrid variety.
· Dynamic torque vectoring is a part of the driver’s package that would make taking the corners comfortable and easy.
· A mid-sized luxury sedan.
· 19-inch wheels
· Adaptive and Automatic LED headlights with pedestrian detection and LED taillights
· Dual zone automatic climate control
· Power-folding side view mirrors.
· Keyless entry with a keypad outside and ignition.
There are several other features that we’ve not listed here but they’re worth looking into. From a glance at the specs list at the moment, we can conclude that this car is worth the investment. You’ll get a luxury experience at a highly competitive price.
Great Reviews
The MKZ 2016 version of this car garnered a lot of praise from the automotive community in general. Most experts have recommended that you purchase the car without hesitation. The 2017 model is also being viewed with the same favorable eye. This car will compete with the likes of Mercedes-Benz C-Class, General Motors Co, BMW 3-Series, Cadillac ATS, Daimler AGs, and Audi cars. However, the initial impressions reviews are greatly in favor of the Lincoln’s MKZ.
The current model, the MKZ 2016, offers a six-cylinder engine that offers 300 horsepower, but the new car offers much more at 400 horsepower. The driver’s package will also make the experience of all that power under the hood extremely comfortable.
The Looks
The looks of the new MKZ aren’t markedly different in comparison to its predecessors. But the style is slightly more elegant and understated. This model looks subtly luxurious without being in-your-face. This is a big step away from the obvious and large grilles and blatant badging on the front that MKZ introduced several years ago. Industry insiders approve of this styling choice and hope that it would shape Lincoln’s own identity.
To date, the design choices of Lincoln cars, especially the MKZ series, haven’t really impressed the experts. This subtler form is befitting the modern tastes and design sensibilities. Most notably, there’s no disconnect between the front and the back ends of the design, which blends seamlessly to form a great overall design. In all, this is a good car to buy if you want understated style.
The Driver’s Package
This is also a feature that caught the attention of several reviewers. The idea is to provide the best driving experience. With all that power under the hood, people will want to drive this car.
We already mentioned the Dynamic Torque Vectoring, which would allow the driver to take corners easily. This facility will transfer the power to specific rear wheels according to the turns you take. That would ensure that the corners are smooth and won’t jostle people inside the car easily. There will also be controlled damping in all models that would allow you to fine tune the balance of ride and handling.
There are also a number of safety features, including pedestrian detection headlamps, park assist systems, etc. All of this combined will make Lincoln MKZ a strong contender for the title of 2016’s car of the year. It goes on sale in the summer of 2016.
