The 2009 Lincoln MKZ adds a new level of luxury with a "Midnight Black" special-edition package. Premium leather seating surfaces and contrasting wood inserts help create a unique interior.

Lincoln SYNC, voice-activated navigation, heated and cooled seats, SIRIUS Satellite Radio, a THX II-Certified audio system and a reverse sensing system are among the state-of-the art technologies that provide the enhanced comfort, convenience, performance and safety expected by today's luxury customers. In addition, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control is now standard.

Functionality is as important as form, and the Lincoln MKZ excels at each with the inclusion of the easy-to-use rear 60/40, spring-assisted, split bench seat that allows for greater trunk storage when necessary.

Ford's Duratec 35 V-6 engine delivers 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque, resulting in smooth power and a confident, comfortable ride. The Lincoln MKZ is able to respond readily to its driver's demands, thanks to the premium six-speed automatic transmission.

The Lincoln MKZ possesses an engaging, performance driving character thanks to the careful engineering and calibration on the chassis, steering boost curve, spring rates, anti-roll bars and damping force. The standard 17-inch tires were selected to complement the suspension tuning and for their quiet tread design. Base model estimated mpg: 18/28
