Lincoln MKZ
Freshened up for 2017, the Lincoln MKZ is now much more aligned with the brand's new direction. Several engines are offered, from a turbocharged, 2.0-litre four to a twin-turbo V6 to a hybrid version. A six-speed automatic transmission is matched to the gasoline-only versions, while the hybrid gets a continuously variable automatic, and all-wheel drive is offered. While it isn’t as sporty as its German rivals, the MKZ is very comfortable, just as well equipped, and less expensive.
