New for this year is a six-speed autobox featuring SelectShift, electronic manual-mode shifting. This provision allows much more driver input and participation in the driving experience, which was missing previously.
This drivetrain duo is rated at 12.6 and 8.3L/100km city and highway driving respectively. Although its fuel efficiency is bound to improve once fully broken-in, according to my tester’s onboard computer it wasn’t faring so well at 15L/100km. Okay, you’ve got me; my driving style may have a causal affect.
MKZ wrapped
The 2010 Lincoln MKZ may not be the hotrod Lincoln of lore but it’s a refined, entry-level luxury sedan that offers outstanding comfort and driving satisfaction plus AWD traction at an attractive price.
Although my completely loaded tester was tagged at $49,279 due primarily to a Navigation Package and a Sport Appearance package, a well-equipped base MKZ with AWD heads out the showroom door for a reasonable $41,699.
Given its many inherent pleasures and the upgrades for 2010, the new MKZ AWD shouldn’t be overlooked by value seekers in the premium sedan market.
