2011 lincoln mkz review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. New hybrid model joins fresh lineup. introductionthe lincoln mkz gets a new hybrid-powered version for 2011, joining a lineup of midsize luxury sedans that was thoroughly updated for 2010. we found the lincoln mkz quite pleasant, with a spacious, understated interior, and a well-balanced combination of ride comfort and easy handling. The lincoln mkz comes standard with front-wheel drive and a v6. The hybrid is priced identically to the v6 model and comes with all the same standard equipment. We found the lincoln mkz hybrid easy to drive and operate. It's smooth, sophisticated and refined. The all-wheel-drive sports model has a driving performance envelope that overlaps that of sporty cars. The standard v6 revs to 6750 rpm and we found engine and transmission responsive when called upon. Also new for 2011 are side mirrors that incorporate a convex section to reduce blind spots. the lincoln mkz looks similar to the mks flagship luxury sedan. Package 101a 2,595) adds a voice-activated navigation system with hd radio, single cd/dvd/mp3 player, internal hard drive for map, 10gb music jukebox, sirius traffic and travel link, blind spot information system with cross traffic alert, and rear-view camera. Package 102a 5,695) combines everything in package 101a with the moonroof, chromed wheels, thx sound, adaptive hid headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and ambient lighting. The executive package 495) adds upgraded leather and real wood on the instrument panel. Also available is a sport appearance package with sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels, which is priced differently with 795) or without 1,295) package 102a. (all new car test drive prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices, which do not include destination charge and may change at any time without notice.) safety features include dual front air bags, front and rear side impact air bags, and front and rear side curtain airbags; advancetrac with electronic stability control (esc); sos post-crash alert; traction control; tire pressure monitoring system; anti-lock braking system (abs); child safety locks (rear) latch car-seat belt system; reverse sensing system: and the new mykey system. Optional safety features include all-wheel drive, rearview camera, blind spot information system with cross traffic alert. walkaroundthe lincoln mkz clearly borrows lincoln design cues from other vehicles in the brand, sharing the strong split-wing grille, high compound headlamps and prominent placement of the lincoln star on the front quarter panels. In the mkz, the grille is slightly narrower, and the lines somewhat more fluid than the more rigidly defined, cast-in-concrete bodywork of its big brother, the mks. The front grille, in particular, is designed to create a distinct presence in the company of other cars; a high belt line adds a look of substance and heft. there is judicious use of chrome on the door handles, fog lamp bezels, moldings, mirrors and exhaust tips. Window glass is solar tinted. Led tail lamps are wide and broad, extending across the rear deck and into the quarter panels, adding further emphasis to a wide stance. All-season radial tires on nine-spoke, 17-inch wheels are visually proportionate to the wheel wells and wheelbase. the end result is a strong lincoln family resemblance both coming and going, and a car that appears modern, technically endowed, and well planted. for 2011, the sideview mirrors incorporate a secondary convex spotter mirror in the top outer corner, which reduces the driver's blind spots. The more sophisticated electronic blind spot information system (blis) is still available as an option. ford and lincoln have begun to introduce capless refueling systems under the brand name easyfuel. We've found it works well and creates one less thing to lose: the fuel cap. interiorthe lincoln mkz interior has a conservative design sensibility, conveying the virtues of simplicity. There is a distinct lack of clutter for a car with a complete suite of convenience features and technology. seating might be the best part of the interior. The seats are generously wide, allowing easy entry and exit, both up front and to the rear seating area. They are 10-way adjustable, with power lumbar, and have heated/cooled seating surfaces as standard equipment. Armrests are wide and well placed, and functional grab handles are located at every door. quality materials are evident. The wood is real wood, the aluminum is real aluminum, and the leather is real leather. Plastic, what there is of it, has been well textured and does not suggest that it will appear cheap two years down the line. Controls and buttons are low relief, within easy reach, and remarkably intuitive. A universal garage door opener is standard. there is also a voice-activated hands-free in-car communication and entertainment system developed by ford and microsoft. The system integrates bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and digital media players for hands-free phone and music selection. It also enables further communications, such as 911 assist and vehicle health report, which are provided with no monthly fees. the standard audio system, with nine speakers and cd/mp3 play capability, will be perfectly suitable for most drivers, especially considering how quiet the mkz is inside. However, there is a 10-speaker thx ii surround sound system that has a 10-gigabite hard drive, enough for 2400 mp3 tracks, and plays dvds with home-theater sound depth. We can attest to the fact that it can play music or movies at very high volume without distorting, and that the sound in the back seat is just as good as the sound up front. With or without the thx sound system, both navigation packages include hd radio. Its operation is transparent to the driver: simply tune in a station, and if the broadcast is in hd the radio automatically senses the signal and switches to digital mode. driving impressionthe lincoln mkz is a smooth and quiet car, whether equipped with the v6 or the hybrid gas-electric powertrain. the cabin of the lincoln mkz is conspicuously quiet with the v6 engine running, which helps create an atmosphere of sanctuary inside. Certain road surfaces bring a little more tire noise through than others, but the mkz is an unusually quiet car, clearly on a par with the best when it comes to noise control. Ride quality was gracious and hospitable as befitting a luxury car. Parking in narrow spaces is easy, a benefit of the turning radius of the mkz. the available all-wheel drive is a tangible handling benefit. We felt it added to handling stability as we powered through corners on southern california's winding ortega highway, with no apparent torque steer or sense of biasing from wheel to wheel.
