Saying Goodbye to the Lincoln MKZ
Introduced as the Zephyr in 2006, the Lincoln MKZ has been on the market since 2007. It is a comfortable and quiet sedan, so it has plenty of admirers, but the writing has been on the wall for a while, since Lincoln was phasing out sedans in favor of SUVs and crossovers. Then, too, Lincon’s MK naming trend has fallen out of favor, with the MKC replaced by the Corsair, the MKT discontinued to make way for the Aviator, and the MKX becoming the Nautilus. The Continental is the Lincoln MKS replacement, but what will replace the Lincoln MKZ? A more accurate question would be what replaced the Lincoln MKZ, since it was phased out in 2020. The answer? It’s hard to say.
Looking for a Lincoln MKZ Replacement
A classic sedan is hard to find these days, and if you are looking for a sedan, you might want to consider buying a pre-owned Lincoln. However, Lincoln did expand its SUV offerings after discontinuing the MKZ. If you had a hybrid MKZ and that’s the feature you loved the most, there are several hybrid Lincoln options available. In fact, Lincoln has announced that it will have three new electric vehicles by 2025, and intends to go fully electric, possibly as soon as 2030.
Lincoln’s 2024 Lineup
Lincoln’s new lineup includes compact to full-sized SUVs, all built for the utmost in comfort and performance. There’s the Navigator, the Aviator, the Nautilus, and the Corsair, as well as the Black Label options for the Nautilus, Aviator, and Navigator. You really can’t go wrong with any of these options. So, which Lincoln will you choose to replace your Lincoln MKZ?
