Ford says Lincoln MKZ hybrid gets 41 city mpg
DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Motor Co. says the 2011 Lincoln MKZ hybrid will get 41 city mpg and 36 highway mpg when it goes on sale this fall.
Ford said Wednesday the EPA-certified rating makes the MKZ hybrid the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan on the market. It tops its nearest rival, the Lexus HS 250h, by 6 mpg in the city and 2 on the highway.
Ford first unveiled the MKZ hybrid at the New York Auto Show in March. The company hasn’t revealed pricing, but the non-hybrid 2010 MKZ starts at $34,225.
Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz also offer luxury hybrids, but sales have been modest.
Shares of Ford slipped 4 cents to $11.66 in midday trading.
