The 2012 Lincoln MKZ has the award-winning 3.5-liter Duratec V6, delivering 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque on regular gasoline. The J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Vehicle Dependability Study named Lincoln as the top brand.

The MKZ features Lincoln SYNC, an innovation that provides an omnipresent link to contacts and information. In addition to Bluetooth phone, audible text and MP3 capabilities, Lincoln customers can access Vehicle Health Report and 911 Assist. Available for the first time the MKZ is SYNC AppLink, a software application that gives Lincoln SYNC users hands-free voice control of select smartphone apps.

The Lincoln TXH II Certified Audio System with 5.1 Surround Sound. It features a 12-channel amplifier that delivers 600 watts to 14 speakers and two subwoofers.

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert uses two multiple-beam radar modules. The system can detect when a vehicle enters the defined blind spot zone and illuminates an indicator light on the corresponding sideview mirror.

Available as part of the Ultimate Package are adaptive headlamps that rotate according to speed and steering inputs to allow for greater visibility around turns. Rain-sensing wipers, activated when they detect moisture on the windshield, are part of the package. Integrated spotter mirrors and a Reverse Sensing System also are available.

MyKey allows owners to limit speed and audio volume to encourage teens to drive more responsibly. MyKey encourages seat belt use, provides earlier low-fuel warnings and can be programmed to sound chimes at 45, 55 and 65 mph.
