5 reasons to buy the 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
1. Stellar mpg
No one loves to buy gas, right? The 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid can help you out here with its smart pairing of gas engine and lithium-ion battery power. The 2.0L four-cylinder and permanent magnet motor develops 188 horsepower to move easily around town. You will love how slowly the fuel gauge drops, with an EPA-estimated 40 mpg combined.
2. Surprising style
While the beauty of the MKZ Hybrid is more than skin deep, it doesn’t hurt that it is easy on the eyes. The split-wing grille, refined profile, and full-length LED taillamps add to the polished, minimalist exterior design. Standard 18-inch alloy wheels on lower trims complement the exterior, while unique 19-inch alloys add flair to the extravagant top trims.
3. Smart and comfortable interior
The standard 10-way power-adjustable front seats have heat, power lumbar, and memory feature for unbelievable comfort. Available ventilation keeps you cool in sweltering summers, while the optional Active Motion® massage feature reduces muscle fatigue on long drives. The Push-button transmission controls on the dash allow the flowing center infotainment to blend into the center console for a seamless look that maximizes space and storage solutions.
4. Cool tech
The standard eight-inch touchscreen and SmartGauge® driving coach are cool tech, but there’s much more in the MKZ Hybrid. The available MyLincoln™ app lets you set a schedule for startup and climate settings. Your MKZ Hybrid will be ready to go as soon as you get in. Do you drive above-average miles? Look for the optional Technology Package with adaptive cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic high beams, and active park assist to make every drive easier.
5. Retractable roof
The MKZ has a rare optional retractable roof. A glass panoramic roof panel that runs the length of the interior slides back at the push of a button. In 10 seconds you can go from a standard roof sedan to an open-top feel with all the fresh air and sunlight for all five seats. The power roof automatically closes halfway at high speeds to prevent wind buffeting and noise. Think of it as having all the benefits of a convertible with none of the drawbacks.
