Ive had some premium cars in my life and I've never received so many complements on this ride by all age groups. In its reserve trim with the upgraded wheels and roof it looks slick. The car was a first year production run and if you recall Lincoln had production problems with the MKZ meeting quality standards holding up release several months. Its said Maulally then CEO of Ford was ready to scrap the brand because of it. I say this because the car has interior issues. Ive had several panels fall off, and squeaks and rattles have been a chore for me and my Lincoln dealership to iron out. That said, Ive driven the new ones and I'm confident all those issues have been resolved so buying a new Lincoln is a safe choice and a wise one if you like the look. In fact the new hybrids have been re worked and tuned to use more EV than my 2014 resulting in a quieter more buttoned up ride. Huge strides have been made in the material quality from my 2014 to the current 2016's in leather and interior panels. All that said I'm planning on leasing a new continental when this lease is up. Lincoln has won me over in their customer service. Beats BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus hands down. Lincoln picks up the car for service leaving me with a Lincoln loaner returning my car where ever I am. Essentially you never have to see the dealership for service and if you buy Black Label you just never need to go to the dealer even to purchase. No one else does this and it does make a difference.

Third Ford Corporation Hybrid

This is my third "Ford Corporation" hybrid. First was a 2010 Ford Fusion (great vehicle), Second, a 2012 Lincoln MKZ (another great vehicle) and this one, a 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. I purchased the 2014 Lincoln solely because it has "killer" looks, very eye-catching and the newest battery technology. I've had no problems with ANY of the hybrids and the gas mileage is fantastic. I really like Ford's hybrids because they look like "real" cars, not like "insects" as in the Toyota Prius. There's only a couple of things I would change, one is the CVT transmission (I don't care for the "drone" sound it makes under hard acceleration {although it does perform well at all highway speeds}), the second is a larger fuel tank and the third is the many touch screen prompts (I prefer buttons/switches and knobs). Dealer service is great, showrooms are high class and personnel are very friendly. Additionally, Lincoln does not charge extra for the hybrid edition. A nice feature is when sitting in traffic, the battery pack heats and cools the interior of the car without running the engine and only comes on temporarily when the battery pack needs to be recharged and that only takes a few minutes. Can't buy a better vehicle. One other issue I'm concerned about is the premature wear of the Michelin tires, although the tires are not a Lincoln issue, these tires do not wear as well as other Michelin tires I've had. The tires are rotated and balanced every 5 thousand miles. I purchased a set of Vogue tires and although they are not "easy rollers", they perform much better than the Michelins. I have noticed a slight reduction in gas mileage (MPG) with these tires however, the extended miles of wear and road-feel is a good trade-off. I had to replace the Vogue tires because of tread separation and purchased a set of Pirelli's and those appear to be doing well (the car only has 30K miles on it). Don't understand why the tires are a problem because I have them rotated and balanced every 5K miles. In closing, I can only say this car is terrific and am disappointed that Ford is not gong to manufacture sedans anymore. DUMB move!!

I almost brought a Cadillac until I saw that Lincoln Hybrid was the same price as the non Hyb. I have this car three months and it is comfortable, fun to drive looks good too. The electronics are not at all confusing as some pro reviewers have suggested, nor does it make noise when converting to gas from battery. Study the manual a bit and the electronics will become intuitive. The extra space provided by push button gears and no shift handle is awesome. I have compared this to friends' BMW and Benz and the Lincoln actually has some better features. The audio system being one. THX audio rocks. Crisp and clear sound.

I love the exterior styling on the MKZ and the lines of the vehicle are beautful. I love the look and feel of the handling. The fit and finish is amazing and the sound quility is the best. The ride is what I expected it to be excellent. Sure there are more expensive vehicles out there but I think Lincoln has come a long way with the design and build of the new MKZ.
Superb ride & FABULOUS fuel economy in luxury car-

I purchased this Lincoln MKZ hybrid as my primary business vehicle and LOVE. LOVE, LOVE this car! Its a very comfortable ride, which is important to me as I frequently make trips of 500 mile+ per day in my work. Feel comfortable and relaxed starting out and getting back. The fuel mileage is fantastic and encourage you to make long trips without worrying about huge fuel bill. Trips to the local grocery store often yield 70 mpg! Amazing!! Highway is typically around 38 - 40 mpg. The only thing that's not perfect is the roof height on entry, and that is because my car has the full panoramic roof that opens up all the way back to the rear passenger seat. The roofline is dropped to accommodate the retractable roof. A lot of fun to drive with roof open, feels like a convertible. Just have to "ease into" driver seat paying attention to the lower roof line. A really fabulous car, though, in every other regard. This vehicle is even better at 145,000 miles than when purchased. It rides extremely well, fuel economy has hung in around 38.5 mpg average, and comfort is super. Typical local trips have been running 47-53 mpg which to me is amazing. Changed out tires from original Michelins, seems to not have affected fuel economy or ride. We often use this vehicle for travel between our homes, about 1,000 miles each way. Always arrive fresh and relaxed. LOVE this vehicle!

Previous 3 new cars have been Acura TL's. Loved them but wanted better mileage and to get away from premium gas. I've owned the MKZ for 6 months and put 7,500 Chicago miles on it. Seems winter mileage (mixed city and hiway) 38 to 40. Now, April, running about 42 MPG, Very satisfied with that , but may get even better during summer. Love the lines and ride. Tech controls a bit too sensitive and complex. So far, VERY satisfied.

I previously owned a Cadillac CTS, but I like the MKZ Hybrid much more. I'm glad someone finally recognizes there is a market for this kind of car. I respect that others want high-performance road racing cars, but I prefer a quiet, posh ride. The technology is unbelievable. The reviewers mention the computerized continually adjusting dampening system, but they don't mention that it "learns" along with brakes, acceleration, you driving habits, and road conditions to improve over time. The cabin tech is out of this world--not enough space here to even begin.
love the style

ride levels,one of a kind looks lincoln did an awesome job not to use any ford sheet metal on the outside or interior trim,just love the car,..the my Lincoln touch is easy to use and not complicated like the radio in the xts,too bad people dont know what they are missing,love the ability to set the mood lighting for the surround of the cabin ,when the doors are open the light on the end of the door turns red for greater vissability at night quiet lincoln ride,,test drove a caddy xts before this too loud,dont want people to here me rolling in,if I was in europe i would consider the xts but with the speed limits in the usa who needs all that rumble,the lincoln is just perfect for what I need
Happy purchaser

We traded our A6 Audi for the MKZ hybrid and couldn't be happier. We took delivery in Arizona and after about 300 miles drove it to Minnesota. We find the seating more comfortable than the Audi but we did get the messaging seats because of my wife's back trouble. We averaged 40.2 on the trip and now at 3000 miles it is at 41. We have had two shorter trip gas fills with one at 48 and one at 44, but I have to say that we live in a rural area with a lot of 55 mph roads and we have paid close attention to acceleration and braking. I appreciate the lack of a shifter since they only connect to wires anyway. The interior is very attractive and close to the Audi's quality.

The MKZ Hybrid is an amazing and beautiful vehicle. For me, I average in the city, 56 to 62 miles per gallon and 45 to 50 on the highway. The technology is, at times, unbelievable. Lincoln did a fantastic job with this car. I have had my new car now for about three months, and have absolutely no complaints. My hybrid is fully loaded...the only thing it does not do is tell me hello when I get in...which would be pretty cool :) I have read the review here on Edmunds and was shocked that the complaint was interior space. I do not find this to be true. Also, I like the simplicity mixed with the luxury on and in this vehicle. The exterior is sexy and beautiful...buy one you will love it!
Great luxury for less cost.

I have owned 3 Lincoln Hybrids. A 2011, 2014 & 2017. All sweet rides. No maintenance issues, great gas mileage, comfortable ride with improved trunk space & looks over the years. They are simply the best overall cars i've ever owned.

Great Great Mileage. Not as quick as pure gas models, but very good. Bought used w 18,900 miles. Orig Michelin s lasted only to 30k. Adaptive suspension is awesome! I use comfort mode driving Uber/Lyft and back axle never "bottoms out" regardless of passenger & luggage load. Backseat very comfy. I drive around town over 150 miles per weekday and average 45mpg. Electric mode is on 50% of time. Highway trips average 42mpg due to less electric mode used. Have put 70,000 miles on since purchase and runs perfectly. Only defect is one rear seatbelt latch. Wonderful car. Looks great, runs great, Comfortable. What is to not like? Update: 103,000. No problems. Remote start is the Best for winter!

I bought one with Panaromic roof. Yesterday, a good friend of mine saw this car for the first time and he was in awe with that car. With that note, he was about to get off from the front passenger seat. Since the car has a lower seating and the door was far from him to hold on to, he held on to the top frame of the car with his right hand fingers over the roof that I had just opened to display. With rain coming, I decided to close it with his fingers still on. The glass roof rolled over his fingers just as tight as one can imagine. His 3 fingers are now fractured. Owners of the car with this roof, please be aware that this could happen to you or someone with you.
Great economical Car

I haven't owned a Ford product since 1984 (to me this is more Ford than Lincoln) and have owned no American vehicles since 1996. I have been dying to come back to American cars and this was to have been the triumphant return for me. While I was wowed by the exterior design, it stops for me there. I am 6ft tall and mid fifties. I think the new average buyer's age. I bump my head every time I get in the car (roof too short). Lumbar support is poor, quality of the leather interior is not plush and comfortable (what I consider luxury is a plush interior) and I have never once gotten 40 mpg much less higher. I do not drive over 70 on the highway and am definitely not a speeder.
Beautiful but built like a tank!

It's a large car, spacious, but outward viewing could use a re-design. The front is too low and causes problems - probably should have an autolift at speeds below 5 mph. It has a oddly placed blind spot where the driver's outside mirror sits that should be moved elsewhere. But otherwise this car is amazing and everybody mentions how beautiful it is. Get the front proximity warning.

I have had several Lexus's and was leary when my car leasing company suggested I try this Lincoln. Mine is the hybrid, btw. I not only tried it, but have now been driving it almost 3 years and love it! I love how it looks. Love how it handles. Good on snow. I love the air conditioned seats. The sound system sounds like you are sitting in a concert hall. The moon roof is awesome. Just about everything about it is great. I do, however have two small complaints. The trunk is rather small and the back seat is not conducive to a very large person sitting there. Legroom is fine, but the head room is tight for someone over 6' 2". My lease is up in a couple months, but I am going to keep this MKZ hybrid and continue driving it for at least another year. I love it. Did I mention that I get about 40 mpg in the city?

Disappointed in the mpg. sheet states 45mpg. Dealership rechecked 04/01/2014 for mpg and no problems found to justify why I'm only getting 34.3mpg. I'm going back to Audi,VW,Honda or Toyota. I've own these vehicles before and they live up to their build sheet. American brand name vehicles are flawed and people selling them are either more enterested in selling the car than telling the truth or they don't know enough about the product their selling. Price too high for really what your getting.

Key fob falls apart and can leave you stranded. Never owned a car that had this problem. This from a car the company has the audacity to call a luxury car. I definitely do not recommend buying any Lincoln with such a piece of junk for a key fob. Try a different luxury car company. The transmission was making a noise, car was under warrantee and dealer had a two chances to fix it, did not, so I sold the car.
