Troy, MI -- (SBWire) -- 05/31/2012 --It doesn’t have quite the same ring as a Top 10, but it’s an honor nevertheless. Lincoln of Troy proudly carries the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, recently deemed one of Edmunds’ Top 11 Most Fuel-Efficient Sedans.

Utilizing a 275-volt nickel-metal-hydride battery and an electronic continuously variable transmission, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid delivers splits of 41 MPG city and 36 MPG on the highway. The EPA’s combined estimate is 39 MPG.

Powering the MKZ Hybrid and making that gas mileage possible is a 2.5-liter Atkinson four-cylinder engine paired with a 26 kW electric motor. Working in tandem, this duo produces 191 total horsepower and generates 156 pound-feet of torque.

Luxurious interior appointments ensure that passengers inside the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid enjoy every one of the many miles between fill-ups. Standard features include leather heated seating, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry and rear parking sensors.

Improving upon the 2012 version, the 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is expected to harbor a 2.0-liter 188 hp engine. Early speculation places its fuel economy at 47 MPG city and 44 MPG highway. It will be available at dealerships like Lincoln of Troy later this year.
