What Changed

The MKZ wears updated styling on the inside and out. Exterior changes include a new front end with a more pronounced grille. The revised rear styling features larger LED taillights and a new trunk lid. Revisions to the interior include a new instrument cluster, new center stack, new door trim, updated leather and color choices. The output of the 3.5L V6 remains the same, but changes to the six-speed automatic reduce shift times and acceleration. A new sport package features 18-inch wheels and revised suspension settings.
