| Lincoln MKZ Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
I have been averaging 37.8 combined mpg in warmer months, and averaging 35.2 combined mpg in colder months. I do have to drive with a light foot to achieve these numbers. |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
I wanted a hybrid. I didn't want a Prius. I wanted a more dashboard |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
Good economy for performance trade off. |
