* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.
- Reliability (4)Lincoln vehicles, including the MKZ, generally have a good reputation for reliability, with average to above-average scores in most consumer surveys.
- Maintenance (3)Maintenance costs for the MKZ are generally in line with other luxury sedans. Parts and labor can be more expensive than non-luxury brands, but not excessively so.
- Technology (3)The SYNC 3 infotainment system is user-friendly and responsive, but some of the advanced driver-assistance features are optional and not as cutting-edge as those in newer rivals.
- Comfort (4)Comfort is a strong suit for the MKZ. The seats are plush and supportive, and the cabin is well-insulated from road noise, making for a very relaxing experience on long drives.
- Dynamics (3)The 2018 Lincoln MKZ Select offers a smooth and quiet ride, but it lacks the engaging driving dynamics found in some competitors. The handling is competent but uninspired.
