• The MKZ Hybrid carries the same price as the normal gasoline-powered MKZ. All other automakers charge a premium for a hybrid choice

• Lincoln MKZ Hybrid customers receive the same key features as Lincoln MKZ gas customers in their respective equipment groups. That means, for example, customers opting for the Hybrid Premiere Equipment Group receive SYNC® with MyLincoln Touch™ with 8-inch touch screen, heated front seats, class-exclusive LED headlamps and Lincoln Drive Control

• Lincoln Drive Control orchestrates the performance of multiple systems (including suspension, steering and noise control) to deliver Lincoln driving quality that is the optimal blend of engaging driving and refined ride

• Push-button shift is a unique execution that replaces the traditional mechanical transmission shift lever with a contemporary five-button interface

• Next-generation lithium-ion batteries save weight and generate more power than the previous nickel-metal-hydride batteries.

• The electric traction motor during launch allows for a smaller gasoline engine and significantly reduces fuel consumption. In addition, when it is used as a generator, it helps recover vehicle energy during deceleration or braking to recharge the battery pack. Total system power is 188 horsepower

• New exterior colors: Luxe, Magnetic, Bronze Fire and Guard

• EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 41 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, 40 mpg combined
