Sharing more than just an aesthetic similarity with the brand’s flagship model, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ is for those who are on the lookout for something different in the luxury market. From its unique push-button gear selector to a floating center console, it’s the culmination of beautiful form and function.

“Lincoln, from its origins, has always been focused on bespoke cabins built for its passengers,” said Alex Schaeffer, Director, Lincoln Middle East. “This heritage affords us some great inspiration, and allows us to lean into what the customer wants, always remembering that the journey itself is meant to be as rewarding as the destination.”

From a technological standpoint, the MKZ offers a fully retractable panoramic glass roof, a superior Revel audio system, Adaptive Cruise Control, automatic park assist, pre-collision assist, blind spot detection, lane keeping assist, and pedestrian detection, all while flaunting the highest Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) rating.
