Many automakers are pursuing the growing entry-level luxury segment. As Toyota offers the Camry as the more upscale Lexus ES, Ford offers a Lincoln variant of the Fusion sedan. The MKZ offers clean exterior styling with modern lighting, a highly styled interior with a standard power leather seats, and upscale interior trim appointments. Unlike its sibling the Ford Fusion, the MKZ offers just two powertrains: a 263-bhp V6 and a four-cylinder gas/electric hybrid.

What Changed:

A gasoline/electric hybrid model joins the lineup. The hybrid pairs a 2.5l four-cylinder engine with a small electric motor and CVT transmission. Ford estimates the fuel economy as 41/36 city/hwy.
