Lincoln MKZ Hybrid
Promoted by Lincoln as the most fuel-efficient luxury car in
the United States, the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is one part of
a growing class and trend in the automotive industry. The vehicle
rated at 41 miles per gallon (MPG) on the highway, and is part
of an emerging group of vehicle from dozens of makers and manufacturers
that are trending toward a more environmentally friendly future.
Like similar sedans and luxury vehicles, the 2012 Lincoln MKZ
hybrid is taking advantage of emerging 21st century technologies
to make a car that is light, more efficient, more effective
and less reliant on natural fuels and gasoline.
This hybrid is the top of the line hybrid from Lincoln that
can drive as much as 717.5 miles with one tank of gas in the
city, and features a vehicle mode speed higher than that of
similar cars from other luxury manufacturers like Lexus. Advertised
as over 50% more fuel-efficient competing cars, the MKZ average
six mpg more on the highway than Lexus' similar HS250. The car
also boasts a top speed of around 47 mph, which is more than
20 mph faster than the HS250 - the car that the MKZ hybrid is
most frequently compared to.
As a standard luxury vehicle, the Lincoln MKZ hybrid offers
leather trimmed seating and front power seats with a memory
driver's seat setting. With heated and cooled front seats, the
inside is complimented with genuine wood trim and a SmartGuage
within the driver's side dashboard that has an EcoGuide cluster
and environmentally friendly gauges that will sync up with the
car's electric and gas-fueled features.
Safety features include a personal safety system with a number
of interior airbags, a reverse sensing system that offers alerts
when the rear of the car is obstructed by any impediment. Other
safety features include a SecuriCode keyless entry system and
the MyKey technology that allows you to start the vehicle without
inserting and turning your cut key. An easy fuel system and
integrated blind spot mirrors round out the menagerie of luxury
and safety features offered standard on the 2012 Lincoln MKZ
hybrid.
The interior luxury features include a number of eco-conscious
choices, as well as a sync system that owners linked up with
a Microsoft-based system that controls the media that can be
played in the MKZ. The interior offer nine cubic feet of space
more than the Lexus HS250, as well as the most space for a vehicle
in its class. The interior is trimmed in leather and offers
genuine wood trim and swirl or olive ash features - both taken
from environmentally controlled forests around the world.
The sync system is popular among the technologically savvy,
and offers a Bluetooh-enabled phone system, command and selection
playlist capabilities, an MP3 player and thumb drive, traffic
alerts, personalized news, weather reports and the latest sports
scores. These features combine to make the Lincoln MKZ hybrid
a vehicle that competes with the tops in its class, and one
that is both technologically equipped and safe for the environment.
