Eye-catching comfort and luxury sedan

The 2020 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is a comfortable luxury sedan with seating for up to five driven by a standard hybrid drivetrain. Lane-keep assist is standard for this model year, and look out for the lovely new red, blue, and silver exterior paint colors. However, check out the Monochromatic package for a maximum-impact exterior. With black or white paint, it brings LED headlights and trades chrome for body-color exterior trim, all riding on exclusive black 19-inch alloy wheels. The 2020 MKZ Hybrid is the car that looks great while swathing you in luxury comforts.

5 reasons to buy the 2020 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

1. Hybrid is standard 

Practice is the key to progress, and this final year of the MKZ Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 41 mpg combined.

That’s plenty for bypassing gas stations when you’re running late for work, or maybe arriving early on a road trip since you stopped fewer times. If you run low, no worries about charging the battery, as you just need five minutes at any gas pump. 

2. One trim: loaded 

The 2020 MKZ Hybrid had simplified trim levels consisting of the top Reserve trim as the only option. Effectively, all 2020 MKZ Hybrids are fully loaded with standard features like 19-inch alloy wheels, adaptive suspension with selectable drive modes, and power rear trunk lid.  Want heated seats front and rear? Look for the 2020 MKZ Hybrid. 

3. Raise the roof 

More correctly, retract the roof. Rather than just a rectangular glass, the power sunroof on the 2020 MKZ Hybrid is the entire roof. At the touch of a button, the MKZ needs just 10 seconds to slide the roof back, allowing all passengers to experience unlimited headroom and unobstructed views. If you forget it is open and take an on-ramp, the sunroof automatically closes halfway to reduce buffeting and wind noise at high speeds.  

4. Surround sound 

The standard audio system in the 2020 MKZ Hybrid is an impressive Revel® premium sound system with a CD player, HD radio, and available satellite radio with a subscription.

It has 14-speaker surround sound, plus an embedded modem with available WiFi hotspot capability.
All of this is controllable through SYNC® 3 on the intuitive eight-inch touchscreen or the steering wheel-mounted controls.  

5. Comfort for miles 

As a plush luxury car, the 2020 MKZ Hybrid has a softly-sprung suspension to absorb bumps and cracks in the road, as well as multiple sound-dampening techniques. Standard 10-way power-adjustable seats let you find exactly your right fit, and the optional ventilation up front and heating in the back means everyone stays comfortable. An available heated steering wheel is wonderful in winter, and the optional massage feature melts your stress away as you commute.
