** Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so.

Powertrain and Efficiency

MKZ Hybrid is projected to get more than 700 city miles on a single tank of gas, making it the most fuel-efficient luxury car in America.*

Lincoln hybrid technology pairs a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery with a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 hybrid engine, providing a combined 191 hp. The vehicle operates in electric mode when traveling up to 47 mph-the best top speed in its class.** The traditional combustion engine takes over once 47 mph is reached, and also steps in if more power is needed at lower speeds.

The Regenerative Braking System captures 94 percent of the kinetic energy usually lost to friction and heat, and uses it to recharge the high voltage battery. When brakes are applied, the traction motor is turned in reverse, which generates electricity and concurrently slows the vehicle down without applying the brake pads. In addition to recharging the battery, this action also helps reduce wear on the brake pads.

*Based on EPA combined cycle data. Projected 41 city/36 hwy/39 combined mpg, FWD, 17.5- gallon tank. Ford preliminary data. Pending EPA certification. Actual mileage will vary. Excludes diesels.

**Class is Luxury Midsize Hybrid Sedans vs. 2010 competitors.

Bridge of Weir Leather

Bridge of Weir is regarded as one of the most eco-conscious leathers available. Its organic chromium-free tanning process ensures that the leather can be recycled, and creates environmentally sustainable by-products along the way. Even better? Bridge of Weir leather comes standard.

Genuine Wood Trim

The walnut swirl and olive ash wood trims have more to offer than exceptional beauty: They also have eco-friendly qualities. The veneers come from well-managed forests, as defined by strict environmental, social and economic standards, and from other rigorously controlled sources.

SmartGauge™ with EcoGuide

This innovative gauge cluster provides enhanced real-time feedback on fuel efficiency and driving performance. Two high-resolution, full-color LCD screens display your choice of four data categories, while steering wheel-mounted controls make it easy to manage information. All categories can indicate instant fuel economy, fuel economy history, odometer, engine coolant temperature, plus trip data, including current and time-elapsed fuel economy and miles to empty.

The display shows leaves that grow or fade in real time according to how efficiently you are driving. Long-term fuel efficiency is indicated through the growth of flowers. The more efficiently you drive, the more flowers appear. It's a beautiful way to monitor your footprint.
