The Lincoln MKZ was first introduced in 2006, but it had a different model name then. It became known as the first 'MK' vehicle for Lincoln in 2007, and since then it has led the way as Lincoln has begun re-establishing itself as a luxury brand.

In the first year it was on the market, the MKZ was called the Lincoln Zephyr, but that only lasted a year.

Under the Zephyr name, the MKZ only had one trim level and one powertrain option. Now the MKZ has a completely redesigned exterior, the second generation MKZ offers two trim levels and has three powertrain options, including a hybrid one.

Fun facts:

- Originally named the Lincoln Zephyr
- The MKZ Hybrid was the first hybrid to be priced the same as its traditionally powered counterpart
- Has been Lincoln’s best-selling vehicle since 2008
- Release of the second-generation MKZ was pushed back from November 2012 to January 2013 so Ford Motor Company could make sure there were no quality issues
- Was completely redesigned in 2013, which was debuted at the 2012 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS)

I remember sitting in this thing at the autoshow at the time and telling myself how nice the interior was.

lincoln does a good job at making interiors that feel and look comfortable, even ride quality is on point, it's like riding on air.
