The 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has been named one of Edmunds’ Top 11 Most Fuel-Efficient Sedans. Lincoln of Troy proudly carries the gas-conserving vehicle at its dealership near Detroit, Michigan.

Troy, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/31/2012 -- It doesn't have quite the same ring as a Top 10, but it's an honor nevertheless. Lincoln of Troy proudly carries the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, recently deemed one of Edmunds' Top 11 Most Fuel-Efficient Sedans.

Utilizing a 275-volt nickel-metal-hydride battery and an electronic continuously variable transmission, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid delivers splits of 41 MPG city and 36 MPG on the highway. The EPA's combined estimate is 39 MPG.

Powering the MKZ Hybrid and making that gas mileage possible is a 2.5-liter Atkinson four-cylinder engine paired with a 26 kW electric motor. Working in tandem, this duo produces 191 total horsepower and generates 156 pound-feet of torque.

Luxurious interior appointments ensure that passengers inside the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid enjoy every one of the many miles between fill-ups. Standard features include leather heated seating, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry and rear parking sensors.

Improving upon the 2012 version, the 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is expected to harbor a 2.0-liter 188 hp engine. Early speculation places its fuel economy at 47 MPG city and 44 MPG highway. It will be available at dealerships like Lincoln of Troy later this year.

The 2013 Lincoln MKX has joined the team at Lincoln of Troy in Troy, MI.

Troy, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2012 -- The newest addition to the fleet at Lincoln of Troy in Troy, Michigan is the highly anticipated 2013 MKX, a modern SUV with a penchant for delivering luxury to its drivers.

The MKX features numerous accommodations for drivers, including heated and cooled leather-trimmed seats for both the driver and front seat passenger, as well as heated seats for all second row passengers. Riding with luxury, though, doesn't just mean comfortable seats, so Lincoln included dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control. This feature allows both driver and passenger to pick the most comfortable temperature, while the system maintains that balance automatically.

Technology is at the heart of this SUV, with both center console and gauge cluster displays available. The center console houses an 8-inch touchscreen display which can be utilized to browse pictures, make phone calls, play music, navigate, and even watch videos. Media inputs are also numerous, as the MyLincolnTouch™ system contains CD, HD Radio, USB, RCA Video, and even an SD Card slot.

Luxury is never luxury without performance, and the 2013 MKX delivers with 305 horsepower, a best-in-class 26 Highway MPG, and adaptive cruise control, which uses Radar to sense vehicles in front of the MKX and automatically adjust speed to maintain desired following distance.

Finally, the exterior of the MKX has been optimized to showcase both the tradition of Lincoln and the sleek new look that befits the technology inside. The split-wing grille pays homage to Lincoln's rich history, while the chrome inlays speak to today's standard of luxury.

The all-new Lincoln MKZ is designed with new technologies, great style and an upgraded sunroof to grab attention and regain the brand name.

Troy, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/03/2012 -- The exterior styling of this new MKZ, unveiled earlier this month at the New York Auto Show, is nearly identical to the MKZ concept Lincoln showed back in January at the Detroit auto show.

Perhaps most notable, is the MKZ's grille. It remains split, but now it's narrower than before while boasting chrome bars that run horizontally rather than vertically. The result is a far more sophisticated look.

On the technology side, the MKZ's infotainment includes Ford's Sync and MyLincoln Touch voice and touch system with a 10-inch screen. Standard audio with 11 speakers should be enough for most folks, but available is a THX-certified surround system with 700-watts and 14-speakers.

This MKZ will debut with three drivetrain options: 2.0-liter, 240-hp, EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder that mates to a six-speed automatic with a paddle-shift manual mode; a 3.7-liter, 300-hp, naturally aspirated V-6, which buttons to the same transmission; and a hybrid model with a gas I-4, electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack.

Ford says the new four has the power of last year's V-6, but 20% better highway mileage, at an estimated 22 city, 33 highway with front-drive. Ford says the V6 offers a 5% better fuel economy at an estimated 18 city, 26 highway.

" The new Lincoln MKZ represents the future of Lincoln in both style and substance," says Jim Farley, Ford Vice President of global marketing. "It is proof of our commitment to deliver a new breed of Lincolns for a new generation of Lincoln clients — motor cars that are distinctive, elegant, full of technology and a delight to own."

Look for the new MKZ to arrive later this year at Lincoln of Troy. For more information about the 2013 Lincoln MKZ or to reserve yours when available, visit Lincoln of Troy online at www.lincolnoftroy.com.
