2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Preview
The new 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is expected to be most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America. Ford Motor Company - America's largest domestic hybrid seller - is further broadening its aggressive electrification plan and second generation of hybrid technology with the new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. While the '11 MKZ Hybrid is essentially a "badge-engineered" model, it offers some excellent unique styling and upscale appointments. The MKZ Hybrid distinguishes itself from the Fusion Hybrid with a host of standard luxury features. These include Scottish "Bridge of Weir" leather seats, walnut trim and an ignition key that can be programmed to limit top speed and stereo volume for parents trying to keep their teen drivers at hold. The new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid was recently unveiled at the 2010 New York Auto Show, and Ford claims it will be "the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America", with a projected EPA city fuel economy rating of 41 mpg. The introduction of the new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid also complements Ford's aggressive global electrification plan.
The Lincoln's hybrid system combines a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine and two electric motors to produce a total of 191 horsepower. The system combines the best attributes of the gasoline engine and electric battery-driven motors to deliver optimal performance and fuel economy. Fuel economy is 41 miles per gallon in the city. The new MKZ Hybrid shares its running gear, including a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gas engine, with the 2010 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan hybrids. The gas engine and electric motor provide a combined 191 hp. Lincoln's first-ever hybrid is expected to deliver at least 41 miles per gallon in the city.. The new premium midsize sedan hybrid joins Ford Motor Company's growing lineup of hybrids, including the Ford Fusion Hybrid - 2010 North American Car of the Year and America's most fuel-efficient sedan - plus the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Milan and Mariner Hybrids.
Lincoln is setting its sights on taking down the Lexus HS 250h as the luxury hybrid sedan to watch, so the MKZ styling will be bold and interesting, at least compared to it's cousins, the Fusion and Milan. The automaker is hoping the MKZ Hybrid will carry enough extra features to significantly differentiate it from a Fusion or Milan with the same powertrain. Luxury-minted customers would be wise to look at this as an alternative option to the HS250h. Another feature exclusive to the MKZ is the Easy Fuel Capless Fuel-Filler, which uses an integrated spring-loaded flapper door to eliminate the need for a fuel tank screw cap. That means no more fumbling to remove and tighten the cap and less fuel odor on a driver's hands at the pump.
Aside from the powertrain, the new hybrid doesn't differ too much from the rest of the MKZ range, besides some new and exciting technology. Plenty of standard amenities are on tap, such as the cool-looking SmartGauge with EcoGuide, a reverse sensing system, heated and cooled front seats, Ford's MyKey system and - of course - SYNC. Lincoln MKZ Hybrid takes SmartGauge with EcoGuide to next level, offering drivers enhanced positive feedback on long-term fuel efficiency and driving performance. The '11 MKZ Hybrid will offer more standard luxury; technologies and segment-exclusive safety features in the new Lincoln MKZ Hybrid help it top its nearest competitor, the 2010 Lexus HS 250h. SmartGauge with EcoGuide - Ford's highly successful interactive technology - provides real-time information to help drivers maximize fuel efficiency, and coaches drivers on how to optimize hybrid performance. Lincoln takes SmartGauge to the next level of engagement by giving drivers enhanced positive feedback on long-term fuel efficiency and driving performance through the "growth" of virtual small flowers on the system's right-most screen. Lincoln's white flowers, inspired by apple blossoms, remain permanently unless long-term fuel economy is reset. Lincoln SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system provides an omnipresent link to contacts and information. In addition to Bluetooth phone, audible text and MP3 player capabilities, Lincoln customers also can access Vehicle Health Report and 911 Assist. The Lincoln MKZ Hybrid also includes standard Bridge of Weir leather seats. The world-renowned luxury leather from Scotland is unembossed, allowing the natural beauty and character of the grain to shine through. The leather is milled for up to 12 hours to ensure a soft hand, and Bridge of Weir uses a chromium-free tanning process, which makes it easier to recycle.
For the 2011 model year, the Lincoln MKZ will offer the award-winning 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline/electric powertrain from the Fusion and Milan hybrids, good for up to 41 miles per gallon in the city. In doing this, Lincoln aims to compete directly with the recently introduced Lexus HS250h, and since the MKZ will net six more MPGs than the HS, it can safely take the title of most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America. What's more, the MKZ is slightly larger than the Lexus. Visit the official 2011 MKZ Hybrid site by Lincoln for the latest updates on this model.
