The Lincoln MKZ will be utilizing Ford Motors new hybrid powerplant following the paths of the Mercury Milan and the Ford Fusion. The car has a 2.5L 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine that works in combo with an electric motor to give out 191 horsepower.
The first ever hybrid unit of the Lincoln fleet is expected to return a fuel mileage of 41 mpg while snaking through the city streets. Switching to pure electric mode, the car can cruise on a decent 47 mph or 75 km/hr.
The American car manufacturer wants to stress that the figures of the Lincoln MKZ are a lot better than its closest competition the HS 250h from Japanese luxury brand Lexus which has a 25 mph performance in battery-only configuration and has a fuel mileage of 35 mpg in the city.
The Lincoln MKZ will go on sale this fall in the United States.
