MKZ Engines, Transmissions and Drive Systems

3.7-liter V6 improving fuel economy approximately 5 percent. MKZ also utilizes a six-speed automatic transmission. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost® engine (late availability) will deliver the performance of a traditional V6 along with outstanding fuel economy

Improving grip on slippery roads, the available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system anticipates and adjusts the power delivery to the front and rear axles in as little as 16 milliseconds, faster than the blink of an eye.

The Retractable Panoramic Roof is a new signature feature for Lincoln. The 15.2-square-foot glass panel offers one of the largest openings available on any current sedan. The design maintains the structural strength of a steel-roof vehicle.

The crafted headlamp assemblies include bright, energy-efficient LED lighting. The front headlights turn in sync with the steering wheel, providing enhanced visibility. At the rear, LED technology enables a thin, distinctive full-width taillamp graphic.

Replacing the traditional mechanical transmission shift lever is a contemporary five-button interface. The individual buttons of Push Button Shift engage Park, Neutral, Reverse, and forward gears in two modes, Drive and Sport.

Premium-grade supple leather, responsibly harvested wood and metal-toned surfaces create a luxurious and comfortable interior space.

The standard automatic Lincoln Drive Control delivers balances a smooth ride with confident handling and turns the 2013 model the most refined and engaging MKZ ever.

Standard luxury amenities include an 11-speaker audiophile entertainment system and cabin air filtration, plus heated front seats (with the driver’s featuring 10-way power controls), remote start capabilities and Active Noise Control.

In the silence-enhanced cabin, the available THX® II Certified Car Audio System is a Lincoln-exclusive that features 700 watts, 14 channels and 14 speakers – the result of 200 hours of tuning by sound engineers.

The new MKZ is the only sedan in its class to offer inflatable second-row outboard seat belts, especially keeping in mind the children or mature passengers that usually occupy the back seats.
