2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Priced from $35,180

American manufacturer Ford announced today the pricing for the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in the US (EPA certification 41 mpg – 5.7l/100 km). The starting price for the model has been set at $35,180, including destination and delivery, the same price as its conventional-powered version.

The MKZ will hit the market this fall and promises to become a fierce competitor for the 2010 Lexus HS 250h. Powered by a 2.5l Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine paired with electric battery-driven motors, the vehicle is rated at 191 horsepower.

“Lincoln is about delivering luxury standard,” John Felice Ford and Lincoln Marketing general manager said in a statement.

“Whether it’s our new MKX with standard MyLincoln Touch technology or the no-cost choice of a gas or hybrid powertrain with the Lincoln MKZ, we want to give customers premium amenities with unexpected value.”

The MKZ comes packing all the features the luxury brand has used us to by now, and some new technologies on top of that. Standard features on the model are SmartGauge with EcoGuide, Lincoln SYNC, 10-way power passenger seat, heated and cooled front seats (with memory setting for the driver's seat and Lincoln MyKey.

“Customers are very enthusiastic about the MKZ Hybrid and we think they will be even more excited to learn they sacrifice nothing to be able to go green in style,” Felice added. “We’re launching a world-class hybrid that beats all competitors, and at an introductory price that is sure to draw the interest of new customers to Lincoln.”
