2017 Lincoln MKZ Chicago IL

Developed by Ford's luxury division, the Lincoln brand is definitely going to have all the materials you've come to expect from the company. As Chicagoland Lincoln MKZ news suggests, the MKZ is likely to continue sharing the platform along with the Ford Fusion as well as a number of other vehicles, but Lincoln will continue to make themselves stand out from the lower-priced vehicles by upgrading the interior look. In particular, the split-wing grille that drivers didn't enjoy will now be replaced with a single-frame grille, which is something that was once seen on the Continental. Otherwise, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ coming to Chicago Illinois is expected to be a graceful vehicle all around. The most interesting update to the interior so far, however, must be the replacement of the plastic knobs and other buttons. Now there are some new controls designed to work better with the interior while also easier to use for drivers. Be sure to contact Fox Lincoln for 2017 Lincoln MKZ information and updates as more becomes available.

One thing that 2017 Lincoln MKZ review and previews have suggested is that the new vehicle is going to truly rebrand Lincoln and what you've come to expect from it. The real test, of course, is going to be when it's time for Lincoln engineers to start building the new model from scratch thanks to the product cycle lifespan. In the meantime, there is every reason to believe that the MKZ is going to help Lincoln carve itself a secure pocket in the luxury market. There isn't too much new tech for the updated MKZ, though it does add quite a few new gadgets that allow it to catch up where it was previously lacking. For example, now drivers can enjoy a slow stop with the adaptive cruise control along with a careful acceleration when the road becomes clear. Keep in mind that the vehicle will only go as far as 12 miles per hour before requiring the driver to take back responsibility of speed.

Right now, the 3.0-liter V6 engine is replacing the MKZ typically efficient V6 engine. The new base engine will be a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable of hitting 245 horses, and that can be paired with either all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. The hybrid powertrain will include a four-cylinder 2.0-liter engine coupled with a two-motor CVT, and the only option for that is the front-wheel drive. There are no confirmations from Lincoln or any 2017 Lincoln MKZ review about what the overall price is going to be, but the company did say that the hybrid accounted for 30 percent of sales.

Chances are quite good that the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Chicago IL will come with the same engines along with a new choice. In exchange for the new choice, the base engine will likely be replaced. Whether Lincoln is planning to add a hybrid or other EcoBoost V6 engine is unknown, so you'll need to contact Fox Lincoln for 2017 Lincoln MKZ information and updates and other Chicagoland Lincoln MKZ news. In addition, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ coming to Chicago Illinois may even include a brand new 10-speed transmission, which is a serious upgrade to the current six-speed automatic that is standard. In fact, there may even be a new hybrid configuration, but this is currently unknown.

It is expected that the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Chicago IL will feature the same minimum safety features that the previous model did, which included antilock disc brakes, side-curtain airbags, a post-crash alert system, front-seat side airbags, trailer sway control, stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, a rearview mirror, as well as parking sensors in the front and the rear. The previous MKZ received great scores for side- and frontal-impact crash protection tests, so the new model should score similarly. As far as price is concerned, the new MKZ is still a mystery.
