The 2013 Lincoln MKZ enters the midsize luxury segment later this year. With
a sweeping profile, MKZ incorporates one of the world's widest-opening
retractable glass roofs. MKZ is offered with a choice of three powerful,
efficient powertrains, including a next-generation hybrid expected to ensure the
MKZ remains America's most fuel-efficient premium sedan.
MKZ Exterior
A sweeping roofline defines the new luxury sedan's profile. The steeply raked
windshield and lengthened backlight make for a sleeker and more flowing
appearance that is 10 percent more aerodynamic than the model it replaces.
Although strikingly modern, the design retains classic Lincoln design elements
including a more refined interpretation of the split-wing grille, first seen on
the 1938 Lincoln-Zephyr.
Rearview mirrors stand on door-mounted, sculpted pedestals. This fitment enables
the front door glass to extend farther forward to improve visibility and to
allow even more light into the interior.
The crafted headlamp assemblies include bright, energy-efficient LED lighting.
The front headlights turn in sync with the steering wheel, providing enhanced
visibility. At the rear, LED technology enabled a thin, distinctive full-width
taillamp graphic.
MKZ Interior
Design teams created an inviting interior featuring bold architectural elements,
rich natural materials and fine details.
Innovation and technology abound inside the new MKZ. Replacing the traditional
mechanical transmission shift lever is a contemporary five-button interface. The
individual buttons of Push Button Shift engage Park, Neutral, Reverse, and
forward gears in two modes, Drive and Sport.
Push Button Shift gave designers freedom to create a sculptural multi-level
center console with more functional storage areas.
Positioned ahead of the driver, the full-color 10.1-inch LCD instrument cluster
operates with the latest version of SYNC with MyLincoln Touch. The all-new
design combines dimensional indicator rings framing a brilliant and
reconfigurable Thin Film Transistor (TFT) LCD. An equally critical component of
MyLincoln Touch is the nearly flush-mounted center 8-inch LCD touch screen that
displays information clearly in easy-to-reference color-keyed quadrants.
