The 2013 Lincoln MKZ follows a new style philosophy that Lincoln design chief Max Wolff calls “elegant simplicity.” To help distinguish the MKZ in the luxury market, Lincoln gave it an all-glass panoramic sunroof that is 15 square-feet. The interior boasts the MyLincoln Touch system with voice command and steering wheel-mounted buttons to run climate, audio and navigation systems, wood trim and leather seats.

The MKZ also incorporates Lincoln Drive control, which will help adjust the car’s behavior on the road according to road conditions and driver input.
