Lincoln MKZ 2013-2020

2013–2020
Overview

The Lincoln MKZ, from 2013 to 2020, represented Lincoln's commitment to modern luxury and design. This midsize luxury sedan underwent a significant transformation, both in terms of aesthetics and technology. It featured a sleek and distinctive split-wing grille, which became a hallmark of Lincoln's design language during this period. The exterior design was complemented by adaptive LED headlights and a retractable panoramic glass roof, enhancing the overall premium experience.

Inside, the MKZ offered a well-appointed cabin with premium materials, including real wood and leather trim options. Technology was a focal point, with the introduction of the MyLincoln Touch infotainment system, which included an 8-inch touchscreen and voice-activated controls. In 2017, the MKZ received a mid-cycle refresh, updating its grille and front-end styling and introducing a more refined interior design. The hybrid variant, known as the MKZ Hybrid, was available, offering a combination of fuel efficiency and luxury. This generation of the MKZ aimed to provide a modern and comfortable driving experience, solidifying Lincoln's position in the luxury sedan segment.
