The exterior is fresh and distinctive with an aggressive-looking front grille that gives a subtle nod to the driving capability of this coupe-like model. Seductive lines across the bonnet give it a streamlined look and obvious aerodynamic advantages…and, thankfully, the rear doesn’t disappoint either. However, the interior is where this model shines brightest. That’s not simply because of the ambient footwell lighting. Sleek finishes, including leather panelling and chrome elements, give the MKZ a classy and luxurious feel. What really stands out is the driver-centric centre stack, which houses the state-of-the-art infotainment system. If you’re looking for a luxury ride with an abundance of tech, this could be the model you’ve been waiting for. It boasts standard active noise control, genuine wood trim, full LCD instrumentation and SYNC with MyLincoln Touch. A touch-control panel dominates the centre stack with an impressive screen positioned at the top. From this unit you can access all of the car’s features including climate control, CD, radio, USB, SD card, navigation, mobile apps and Bluetooth. What makes the Lincoln MKZ particularly impressive is how user-friendly it is. Within no time, you’ll be shifting functions like a pro, and discovering features that literally send shivers down your spine. One of the highlights is the air-conditioned seats which ensure you’re sitting cool on even the warmest day. The duel zone climate control means you and your passengers needn’t argue over the temperature. Safety is an important factor; Lincoln has come up trumps with the impressive range of features on this model. The new Lincoln MKZ offers the lane keeping system, a suite of advanced driving aids that helps drivers avoid drifting from their lane due to distraction or fatigue. Consisting of lane keeping aid, lane keeping alert and driver assist, the system utilises a mono-vision camera integrated into the rear-view mirror to read the lane markers ahead. The tiptronic gearbox gives an added element of fun to the drive. Since there is no gearstick, only a selection of buttons to select the driving mode, you can still feel connected by using the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The Lincoln MKZ comes with a 3.7-litre V6 that produces significantly more power than the previous model while improving fuel economy by approximately five per cent. The car also utilises a six-speed automatic transmission. Visit Almoayyed Motors in Sitra to get a closer look at the Lincoln MKZ. Call 17 737-373.
