    Most Comfortable, Reliable, Efficient Vehicle.

    Luxury and over 40 MPG made this vehicle ideal for spending 75 minutes commuting to and from work every day. Excellent for long trips too.

    BEST ALL-AROUND CAR I'VE EVER OWNED! ! !

    Before purchasing my 2015 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, I was blissfully nieve. I had thought hybrid cars were sloth quick. I had also mistakenly thought that Lincolns were for Old Geezers. . .WRONG ! ! ! Lincoln redesigned their fleet and their MKZ had become their force to be reckoned with. Sexy styling, quick throttle response, luxurious interior styling, with a perfect meshing of every conceivable creature comfort/option. Having enjoyed 40+ mpg with my Hydrid, I became a believer. If anyone is searching for a a car that will surely alter their perspectives in a most pleasant way, do yourself a huge solid, and check out the 2015 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID (FWD) ! ! TRULY A GAME-CHANGER!

    Best Vehicle I Have Owned

    I bought the car two years ago (2017) with 24,000 miles on it. It now has 53,000 and I have had zero issues. Quiet ride, sensors all the way around, lane changing sensor, back up camera, etc. Nice leather interior and lighting. Zero problems. Averaging 39 MPG which is great for a vehicle this size. A friend has a Ford Fusion Hybrid (same platform) and he has over 140,000 miles with no issues - including the hybrid battery. I plan to drive this car into the ground!

    I feel like a grown-up!

    I moved from driving a Prius..(which I love).. to this totally enhanced experience of a car. It is quiet.. even when hitting less than smooth roads.. It has standard heated/cooling seats and a heated steering wheel. It also comes with a standard factory remote start which is perfect for Chicago weather. As old as I am, I’ve never owned a luxury car, and now I can never go back..I’m a real grownup! :)

    Very reliable at 90k miles

    The car has been. Amazing. I have about 90k miles on it now and not had 1 major problem. The car still drives so Smooth. It’s one of my favorite cars I’ve had. And when buying it preowned it was so much shearer than those other Lucretia cars.

    Dangerous vehicule in hot weather, since 2015, when I want to speed up the engine does not go more than 50km/h. The dealer does not find the problem but many people have the same problem. Nothing is done and nobody helps me.

    Great road car. More features than I shall use. Heated steering wheel a real plus with cold weather. Retractable glass roof is a great option. It's nice to have so many safety features. Sorry I did not buy an MKZ sooner!

    Unbelievable MPG

    This is by far one of the most beautiful cars I have ever owned. This is the hybrid model with FWD. I have owned it for one month now and the more I drive it the better I like it. I drive using the cruise control as much as possible. I'm retired now and am no longer in a hurry. I have been averaging 52 mpg. I have a 14.5 fuel tank and when I fill it up it tells me I have 692 miles to empty. I always do the speed limit except when on the freeway I do 65 mph in a 70 mph zone. I take off by keeping the car in the battery mode as long as possible. My only thoughts are to enjoy the ride and get the best mpg that I can. "Well done Lincoln"

    Quietest Car Ever

    Fantastic packaging with incredible fuel economy. Luxury features like heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting colors, navigation, premium sound and more make this a great ride. Averaging just under 40 miles per gallon. Good size trunk despite the battery taking up part of it.
