Interesting that there is a "Summer Tire Package"???

 

Old news.....

 

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2012/12/edmunds-accuses-ford-of-tricky-tire-switching-with-their-lincoln-mkz-test-car/index.htm

 

 

Auto-information site Edmunds.com recently found that a borrowed 2013 Lincoln MKZ AWD was equipped with high-performance tires and accused the company of gaming the media with their test car. The fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires (245/40ZR19) are more typically found on super-expensive exotica like the BMW M5 and Ferrari 599, not $45,000 luxury sedans.

With those tires, rather than the standard, efficiency-biased Michelin Primacy MXM4 (245/45R18) tires, the MKZ went through their slalom just 1 mph slower than a Porsche 911 and quicker than a BMW M5.

The implication was that these were special tires fitted to the test car. Ford verified to Consumer Reports that these tires are part of a 19-inch summer handling package available on AWD and Hybrid models. Priced at $1,565, the package includes sport-tuned suspension and steering, along with the larger wheels and tires.

EcoSelect? Choose to up the power or up the economy?

 

That's correct. On hybrid models, EcoSelect can be activated to improve economy or deactivated for enhanced performance.

 

Here's a description of the feature as applied to the MKZ's twin, the Ford Fusion:

 

 

 

EcoSelect, standard on HEV – the EcoSelect button located in center console will allow the vehicle to operate more efficiently with less aggressive heating and cooling, softer acceleration, more regenerative breaking, changes in engine behavior and Eco cruise control activation.

Some 2016 MKZ changes that I noticed:

 

Exterior Color

Black Velvet replaces Tuxedo Black

 

Interior

Light dune changed to Cappuccino

 

Ebony cabin environment with Hazelnut seats changes to Hazelnut cabin. . .

 

Functional

EcoSelect added

Any idea when is Job-1 on 2016 MKZ? I was surprised the fuel tank is only 16.5 Gallons. Edited by bdegrand

Question ...I noticed photos of the 2015 MKZ with an antenna on the left rear. Is that only for the sliding roof option? (So it doesn't interfere?)

Answer is the antenna is necessary only when the panoramic roof is ordered. They just increased the rebates on the 2015 MKZ to $4500.
