TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 Lincoln MKZ

2014 Lincoln MKZ Available Features: Pros
YearComment
2014 In every one of the price comparisons I ran the Lincoln MKZ had far more features than the other car. If something's available on a competitor, it's likely available here, and then some. Standard features include adaptive shocks, a push-button PRND selector, steering-linked all-LED headlamps, LED tail lamps, reconfigurable LCD instrumentation, illuminated door sill trim plates, real wood trim, and a key that can be left in your pocket. Optional features include a self-parking system, adaptive cruise control, multi-adjustable massaging heated-and-cooled front seats, a 700-watt THX-certified audio system, and a full array of collision warning systems. Lincoln seems especially proud of a huge single-pane panoramic sunroof that retracts over the rear window. Personally, I don't feel this option provides enough of a benefit over the dual-pane panoramic sunroofs offered in competitors to justify its $2,995 price. The huge piece of glass does span nearly the width of the car, but the opening itself is considerably narrower, likely due to the need to package side curtain airbags. A conventional single-panel sunroof is also offered, for $1,200. Perhaps relevant to more people than the big glass roof: the MKZ is easily the least expensive luxury sedan you can buy with massaging front seats. Others in its price range do not offer the feature. Sadly, this option was not on the tested car. see full Lincoln MKZ review
