The 2011 MKZ Hybrid makes use of a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and an electric motor producing a combined output of 191HP. Lincoln's first-ever hybrid model has received an EPA-certified 41 mpg rating in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway, and can reach speeds of up to 47 mph (75 km/h) in pure electric mode.
Lincoln won't be subjecting buyers to a premium price for fuel-efficiency when its 2011 MKZ Hybrid hits showrooms this fall as the hybrid sedan will be offered at the same base price as its conventional V6 gasoline sibling, with an MSRP starting at $35,180 including destination and delivery.
