Reserve I 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Sedan
2019 Lincoln MKZ
The 2019 Lincoln MKZ mid-size sedan is swift, quiet, comfortable, and most of all, understated. For the 2019 model year, Lincoln has dropped the top-tier Black Label trim level, along with its choice of designer themes. Standard active-safety features now include automatic emergency braking.
Three trim levels are offered: Standard (base), Reserve I, and Reserve II. Both reserve trims are available with a hybrid (gasoline/electric) powertrain.
Lincoln offers a choice of three powertrain options: turbo-4, V-6, and thrifty hybrid. The base 2.0-liter turbo-4 develops a solid 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque, driving a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive an option.
Upgrading to the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 practically turns the MKZ into a sport sedan. All-wheel drive is standard with the V-6, which generates 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet.
In the MKZ Hybrid, a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine works with twin electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack. Combined output is 188 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is the only configuration, but the Hybrid powertrain is offered on two trim levels: Reserve I and II. Fuel economy is estimated at 40 mpg in combined (city/highway) driving. Base pricing is identical for the regular turbo-4 model and the Hybrid.
Crash-test results have been good. The NHTSA gave the MKZ a five-star rating overall. The IIHS assigned 'Good'? ratings in all applicable crash tests. Automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, automatic high-beam headlights, lane-departure warnings, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, and rear parking sensors are all standard for 2019..
