Many automakers are pursuing the growing entry-level luxury segment. Just 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 MKZ offers just two powertrains: a 263-bhp V6 and a four-cylinder gas/electric hybrid. The 2012 model is the last year of this body style before a major update in 2013.
