2012 | 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
I love driving in luxury, and this car delivers much of it. From the cooled/heated seats to the delicious feel of the leather seating surfaces, this car offers more than adequate comfort...and it is a luxury automobile after all. I would expect no less from Lincoln. see full Lincoln MKZ review |
