5 reasons to buy the 2015 Lincoln MKZ

1. Premium sound

The standard premium sound system has a CD player, 11 speakers, and a satellite radio receiver.

It sounds great, but look for the Preferred trim if music is your life. Standard here is the THXII^® Certified sound system with 14 speakers, and a 700-watt amplifier. If you see the power retractable roof, the MKZ has this upgraded sound system. 

2. Power retractable roof

Available on Select and Reserve trims is the power retractable roof that you have to experience to believe. This 15.2 square foot all-glass panel quietly slides back at the push of a button, offering a convertible-like experience of open-air motoring and unrivaled views. If it starts raining, push the button and in ten seconds you have closed the top. Far more than just a sunroof, this option completely transforms your ride. 

3. Powerful V6 engine

The 3.7L V6 makes a full 300 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the standard six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, the 2015 MKZ runs zero to 60 in 6.7 seconds when new. This same engine and transmission with the available all-wheel drive has more grip and sprints from zero to 60 in just 6.4 seconds when new. Merging into heavy highway traffic is no problem for the MKZ.  

4. Reserve trim

If you are going to buy a new car, you might as well get it with all the features, right? The top-level Reserve trim in the 2015 MKZ has standard blind-spot motoring, LED accents, a voice-activated navigation system, a 110V power outlet, and an embedded modem for a WiFi hotspot.

Also standard is a heated steering wheel, heated/cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and a choice of 19-inch alloy wheels. 

5. Variety of options

Spice up your daily driver with the available features in the 2015 MKZ. The available power trunk raises and lowers with the push of a button. Power rear sunshade keeps the UV off your rear passengers. Multicontour front seats are comfortable on their own, but the massage feature takes it to another level.
