TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ

2013 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2013 Seat evaluations are highly subjective. For me, the MKZ's standard front seats are very good, but short of outstanding. Compared to the seats in the Fusion, they're more firmly contoured but have smaller side bolsters. The optional multi-contour seats might address the bolster deficit. But few people are going to drive this car in a manner that requires much lateral support. see full Lincoln MKZ review
2013 Lincoln MKZ Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearComment
Rear seat headroom and knee room are borderline tight in the Ford Fusion. In the Lincoln MKZ they're tighter still. Six-foot passengers might still fit, but not comfortably. Even without sufficient space for toes beneath its front seat, the Lexus ES's rear seat is far roomier. see full Lincoln MKZ review

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

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2013 Lincoln MKZ

2013 Lincoln MKZ Powertrain: Cons
YearComment
Partly thanks to active noise reduction, the Ford/Lincoln 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain is smoother and quieter than the 2.5-liter Toyota/Lexus unit. The sound remaining after the electronic countermeasures is a few octaves lower than the buzz in the Lexus. But the Ford/Lincoln engine is also considerably less powerful. While the Lexus ES 300h can get from a dead stop to 60 mph in a respectable eight seconds, the MKZ Hybrid takes about nine. Though quick by early 1980s standards, a nine-second run registers as sluggish with today's luxury sedan buyer. With either engine, matting the accelerator instructs the CVT to rev the engine to its power peak, then hold it there. Especially in the Lexus, with its louder, buzzier engine, this is not a pleasant experience. I didn't mind the MKZ Hybrid's limited shove because I generally drove it casually. A 118-horsepower electric motor supplements (and often entirely substitutes for) the 141-horsepower gas engine. Their combined 188 horsepower smoothly and effortlessly shunt the car around town as long as you're not indulging any adolescent fantasies. If you want to indulge those fantasies, though, you'd better step up to the MKZ's optional 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6. Or, if you want both power and efficiency, spend the big bucks for a German diesel or an American Tesla. see full Lincoln MKZ review

2012 4dr Sedan 156-horsepower 2.5L I4 Hybrid

The Hybrid system operates flawlessly. Silently it changes to all electric, to electric combined with gas, to all gasoline power, to what seems like endless variations of everything in between. Most changes are not noticed, and the few that are--can hardly be detected. The whole experience seems very refined. see full Lincoln MKZ review

Hybrid is slower than my previous v6 Acura but I was aware of that. I don't feel the need forfast acceleration like I did in the past see full Lincoln MKZ review
