2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid vs 2016* Lexus ES 300h

Since hybrids are turning into a typical sight, it may astound you that there aren't more entry-level luxury vehicle options to consider. Here we will investigate two of those, the 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the 2016* Lexus ES 300h. Not at all like their gas engine luxury models, these two vehicles focus on mileage much more than power, so the performance evaluations of their engines are entirely unassuming. Be this is the normal exchange to achieve over 40 mpg.


What you don't anticipate from the Lincoln is the degree of performance available on demand. While the Lexus is designed solely for comfort, the continuously controlled damping of the Lincoln Driving Control system permits you to select a Sport mode when you want more lively driving. Additionally, the Lincoln comes standard with 18" high-performance wheels and tires. Whenever you like, the Lincoln's active noise canceling can take you back to utter comfort and luxury.


 

More contrasts between the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and Lexus ES 300h

Technology and connectivity are now of prime importance, and the Lincoln is far more advanced than the Lexus. The cutting edge interior of the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid has discarded mechanical levers and handles. Gears are chosen with a button and everything is regulated through the SYNC 3 screen and voice commands. The Lexus, with its Remote Touch interface, feels outdated. It offers a cumbersome controller reminiscent of a computer mouse that is very challenging to use proficiently.


While the two base vehicles have comparable equipment, the price contrast is profound. At the cost of the base model Lexus, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid could be upgraded to the Reserve level, which adds technology and comfort options that the Lexus can't offer. Furthermore, even when fully loaded with options, the Lexus can't contend with the level of customization and refinement accessible with the Lincoln Black Label edition. At base trim levels, in any case, the Lexus just doesn't compete with the Lincoln. The new 2017 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, at a much more moderate cost, is the unmistakable victor. We welcome you to experience it for yourself today at Bob-Boyd Lincoln of Columbus Ohio.


*2016 is the currently available model year for the Lexus ES 300h at time of article.
