The 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, which receives an EPA estimated 41 MPG City, is now available at Sanderson Lincoln of Phoenix.

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 08/18/2011 --Sanderson Lincoln is proud to announce that they are now offering the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. This impressive car is one of the few hybrids among the luxury line and one of the most fuel efficient in America.

The 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid earns a best-in-class EPA estimated 41 city/36 highway/39 combined MPG. Compared to gasoline-powered luxury midsize sedans, the MKZ Hybrid could save as much as 3,000 gallons of gas and 58,000 pounds of CO2 emissions. Even more impressive, the base MKZ Hybrid starts at the same price as its gas-powered counterpart.

Adding to its fuel efficiency is the MKZ Hybrid’s EV mode, which allows it to travel short distances solely on electric power at speeds up to 47 mph. The MKZ Hybrid also uses regenerative braking, which can capture over 90% of braking energy that is normally lost. The captured energy is then stored in the battery pack until it is needed.

In addition to the MKZ Hybrid’s fuel efficiency, consumers will also love the luxurious feel of the Lincoln sedan. Features such as heated and cooled front seats, Lincoln SYNC, MyKey, Easy Fuel, BLIS with cross-traffic alert, SmartGauge with EcoGuide, genuine wood trim, and Bridge of Weir leather trimmed seats truly set the MKZ apart from other hybrids.

Consumers are not the only ones who love the MKZ Hybrid. The luxury sedan was one of the Green Car Journal’s five 2011 green car of the year finalists. It was also ranked as one of the top two luxury hybrid models in the Union of Concerned Scientists’ 2011 Hybrid Scoreboard.
