Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Gets Official EPA Rating of 45MPG

It’s official, the Lincoln MKZ is one of the most efficient cars in its class, having been rated at 45 mpg (5.22 l/100km) combined. The figure is achieved with a 45 mpg city rating and a 45 mpg highway rating.

This means that the MKZ hybrid is 5 mpg more efficient than the Lexus ES300h, which only manages 40 mpg, despite the Japanese manufacturer having considerably more experience in the field than either Ford or Lincoln - it even beats the smaller Lexus CT 200h by 2 mpg city and 5 mpg highway.

However, despite using the same hybrid system as the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Blue Oval’s offering boasts even better figures, managing a combined figure of 47 mpg combined. The MKZ will be a very promising prospect for those in the market for such a car, when it goes on sale later this year.

Jim Farley, Group VP, Global Marketing, Sales and Service said: "The all-new MKZ Hybrid proves that thoughtful customers who prioritize fuel economy and reducing emissions do not need to compromise on luxury, driving quality or advanced technology [. . .] MKZ is our strongest proof yet on what the reinvented Lincoln stands for – beautiful vehicles with compelling and warm experiences that create a clear alternative in today's increasingly competitive luxury marketplace."
