Lincoln is the luxury/premium division of Ford, making more upscale versions based on Ford model platforms. There is also plenty of crossover between the two brands when it comes to technology; Lincoln cars feature versions of Sync and MyLincoln Touch.
The smallest car Lincoln makes is the midsize MKZ sedan, which is also available as the MKZ Hybrid for those looking for greater fuel efficiency. The MKZ is closely related to the Ford Fusion, and comes equipped with a 263-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 and your choice of front- or all-wheel drive. There are plenty of standard features to go around in the MKZ, including Sync, heated/cooled/powered front seats, and wood/leather trim.
Looking for great fuel economy and luxury? The MKZ Hybrid and its 41 mpg/city and 36 mpg/highway have you covered. It can also travel up to 47 mph on electric power only.
The flagship MKS sedan offers a choice between two powerful V-6 engines, a base 273-hp V-6 and a 355-hp twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6, which automatically adds all-wheel drive (an option with the base engine). Luxurious features include heated front and rear seats, a THX 14-speaker sound system, self-parking system, and a dual-panel sunroof.
Lincoln also offers a trio of crossovers and SUVs for those who are looking for more utility from their vehicle. The five-seat MKX is a close relative of the Ford Edge, and shares with the Edge an emphasis on technology, with MyLincoln Touch, Sync, and touch-sensitive controls across the dashboard.
If more seating and cargo space are needed, the MKT seats six- or seven-passengers across three-rows of seats. It features the same engine options found in the MKS, and a lowered price for the EcoBoost engine in 2012.
Finishing things up is the full-size Navigator SUV, which comes in a long-wheelbase version as well (Navigator L). The Navigator and its powerful V-8 also comes with plenty of convenience features like a power liftgate, power-folding third row, heated and cooled front seats, and a navigation system all as standard equipment.
