Lincoln refreshed the second generation of the MKZ for the 2017 model year, and the automaker completely changed the former minimalist interior that made it stand out from the crowd.

The luxurious sedan was unveiled in late 2016 at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and compared to its non-facelifted version, it looked like a completely different vehicle. Nevertheless, Ford tried to impress and get a bigger slice of the mid-size sedan premium market, and not only that it offered the vehicle an upgraded aesthetic, but it also made some changes on the technical side.

Lincoln ditched the former wing-style look of the front fascia and installed a mesh grille that sported the automaker's badge in the middle. It was flanked by redesigned headlights with a less swept-back look than on the 2013 model. In addition, the carmaker offered an option for LEDs, drastically improving nighttime illumination.

Inside, the automaker listened to what customers said about the 2013 model and replaced the formerly used sliding touch sensors for most commands with regular dials. Truth be told, those touch screens only look good in pictures, but they are a nightmare to use in daily driving situations. Still, it kept the buttons for the gear selector on the driver's side of the center stack. One of its main advantages over its competitors was the sliding panoramic roof.

Under the hood, Lincoln installed a completely new turbocharged V6 that replaced the previously used 3.7-liter naturally aspirated unit. Also, for base versions, a 2.0-liter inline-four was available. Both front or all-wheel drive options were on the list.
