2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Review with Saturn Killed. 2013 Looxcie 3. La Auto Show Experience.

The 2014 Lincoln MKZ ranks 23 out of 23 Upscale Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Lincoln MKZ, as well as reliability and safety data.

Most automotive critics think the 2014 Lincoln MKZ pales in comparison to its competition due to its lackluster handling, cheap interior materials and confusing infotainment system.

The 2014 Lincoln MKZ comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that reviewers say has decent acceleration. That engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which test drivers think shifts smoothly. The EPA reports that the 2014 MKZ gets up to 22/33 mpg city/highway, which is better than the fuel economy of most upscale midsize cars. A V6 engine is optional, and automotive journalists think that it provides quick acceleration, although several prefer the mix of power and fuel economy that the base MKZ offers. The MKZ Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 45/45 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for an upscale midsize car and fairly good for a hybrid, and reviewers say that it delivers adequate acceleration. Most test drivers agree that lackluster handling keeps the 2014 Lincoln MKZ from being any fun behind the wheel, but they think it has a fairly comfortable ride.

So at the 2013 LA Auto Show they had the Lincoln MKZ 2.0 Hybrid in the Cappuccino lounge. Nice a little Cafe and the Green Room to warm you up for a new car. This was actually a nice looking car. Ford and Lincoln take up half the West Hall at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The had some sexy ladies working and I wish I would of got a video of the Cougar that Straight up was ready for a "drink" with a rock the size of Lucus Oil Stadium on her finger. Girls will flirt with you to try to close you on a car. Look I'm only 33 years old, a Long ways away from needing a Lincoln. This Newport High School Chick just want to get it in. She was Cute but Lincoln, Your cars and your women are not that good. The care was better, But a few nice photos and Infidelity is not how you live Life. I was not Impressed. I will admit if  I was a drinker, Which i'm not today, I would of hit it one time. Just if your going flirt married women, take the ring off. No one cares when they find out after they go to Pound Town.

1. whats your favorite color?
2. Is the Car a new Car?
3. Is it available?
4.Can you read the window sticker?

Many critics say the interior of the 2014 Lincoln MKZ is full of substandard materials, though some still find it attractive. Some automotive writers think the front seats are comfortable, while others think they’re too narrow, but almost all test drivers feel that the rear seat lack sufficient headroom. The gas-only MKZ has good trunk space for an upscale midsize car. Reviewers say the standard MyLincoln Touch infotainment system, which controls audio, navigation and climate functions, is slow and unresponsive, which make it difficult to use. The 2014 Lincoln MKZ also comes standard with leather upholstery and SYNC, which allows you to control your smartphone using voice commands. Options include a panoramic moonroof, navigation, a blind spot monitoring system, adaptive cruise control, a lane-keeping system and a system that automatically steers you into a parallel parking space.

If you’re looking for even better fuel economy, the 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 45/45 mpg city/highway, which is excellent for an upscale midsize car and quite good for a hybrid luxury car. The MKZ Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine to make 141 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).




The Lincoln MKZ and MKZ Hybrid have standard front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is optional on gas-only models. The MKZ and MKZ Hybrid come standard with the Lincoln Drive Control (LDC) system, which can alter suspension and steering characteristics and has Normal, Comfort and Sport settings. Several reviewers say that the MKZ handles fairly well in tight turns, though they stress that it can’t match its German sport sedan rivals. Many test drivers agree that ride quality and handling depend on the LDC setting, with Comfort yielding a slightly floaty, but well-isolated ride and Sport providing a ride that is a firm but well-controlled. One critic thinks that the Normal LDC setting yields a very unpleasant ride that is both sloppy and unrefined. Steering feel changes with the LDC setting, and automotive journalists generally agree that it is slightly numb but accurate. They write that the gas model’s brakes are decent for the class, while the hybrid model’s regenerative brakes are a bit touchier. Still, that’s a common complaint about regenerative braking systems in hybrid cars.
