The MKZ is this American luxury brand’s entry-level sedan, and it’s back this year unchanged. Updated last year, the front end features the manufacturer’s new signature design, much like the Continental. The MKZ offers identical engines and equipment packages to the 2017 version. There’s an optional 400-horsepower, 3.0L V6 available exclusively for the Reserve variant. The hybrid is still available.
