Lincoln

With a freshly styled lineup and a host of new innovations, Lincoln is fast becoming known as a progressive brand and a technology leader. As Ford’s luxury division, Lincoln is home to many of the Detroit automaker’s latest advances, including gasoline/electric hybrids and the SYNC voice-activated entertainment system.

The luxurious lineup now includes several sedans and utility vehicles. The lavish Lincoln MKS sedan features a new Active Park Assist feature that can automatically parallel park the car in seconds. The airy Lincoln MKT crossover utility vehicle offers an optional turbocharged EcoBoost engine that provides the power of a V8 with the fuel economy of a V6. And the well-appointed MKZ sedan now features a hybrid powertrain with best-in-class fuel economy.

Looking back, Lincoln has a rich heritage that includes having built limousines for several US presidents. Other standouts include the elegant 1961 Continental and luxury SUV movement-starting 1998 Navigator.
