2020 Lincoln MKZ vs. Its Competition

2020 Lincoln MKZ
Brian León Brian León Contributing Writer

The Acura TLX is as similar to the MKZ as you can get: a front-wheel-drive sedan with a sleek design and plenty of features.

Audi’s A4 is a similar story, but with more brand cachet and a much higher top end, not to mention better quality.

The Chrysler 300 offers big American car comfort with the option for Hemi V-8 power at a discount.

Lexus’s ES is sneakily popular and looks and drives better than ever since a redesign.

The Volvo S60 is the best-looking of the bunch and can also be had in a wagon variant.
