Also thanks again to the nice people over at Hines park Lincoln for lending this vehicle for me to review for you all. As always thanks for watching

[@AvgJoeWatchReviews]

Nice job. I own this car with the 3.0T. It’s so fast and it never gets old. I’ve had the car for about 5 months now and it’s simply, as you said, one of the biggest sleepers you can buy.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Avg. Joe Watch Reviews thank you

My wife just bought a 2019 MKZ twin turbo AWD, I know your review is years ago but I appreciate it and you did a fantastic job, this Lincoln is bad ass and has great reliability reputation, if you don’t want to buy German or Japanese because of real concerns about reliability and parts availability/supply issues, AWD 400HP 400Lbs torque luxury and good looks, I been buying muscles cars all my life and hot rods, this is the ride I want my wife safely riding in! Or me, but its her’s, I just give her tips on keeping it clean!

I picked up my MKZ Black Label AWD 3.0 TT in Chicago two days ago and drove it home. It was a fantastic drive, I didn't want it to end. I'm grinning from ear to ear.

[@Dropsum2112]

What price and mileage ??

[@paulg390]

You are spot-on about this car!! The Lincoln MKZ is an amazing vehicle!! It’s SHAMEFUL that they don’t make them anymore!!!

[@alexmotts]

Yeo got a 2018 one. And it flies. Way faster than i expected. People definitely sleepin on this car. Yes pun intended

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

I bought this exact car a year ago (certified w/ 29K miles), and I am one happy camper. It can easily average 24 mpg with mixed hwy/city driving even with a heavy foot. It looks good and people don't realize how strong the engine is. It takes a lot of power to make an AWD car chirp the tires... I will say that the rear seating is tight (I'm 6'3" so anyone sitting behind me is cramped), but that's the may most sedans are going these days - sloped roof lines & large trunks eating into rear leg room. In the end, it's a blast to drive...

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Jason Rubery yea man thinking of getting one myself after my mustang. I’ve had a fwd car and now I have a rwd now I want a 400hp+ awd car

[@joshuaa61]

Same here, identical.

[@Corkoth55]

I see a certified one with similar mileage near me. you had any trouble with yours? not too many reliability reviews still. too new I guess?

[@Rubberduck-tx2bh]

@@Corkoth55 No issues at all. Still loving it 15 months after purchase!

[@Corkoth55]

@@Rubberduck-tx2bh glad to hear that! woo!

[@keithbowers5255]

Lincoln is back!!! Great review

[@Guy_de_Loimbard]

Very seriously thinking about buying one of these before the end of the year. They've experienced massive depreciation curve and you can pick up a 3-year-old model AWD 3.0T with 35-40K miles for less than 20 grand.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

DroverChicago yes and they’re stopping production soon also

[@esqueue]

Where? I am currently looking for one in Southern California and they are in the Mid $20,000 range.

[@nickfizzle1234]

They are more in the mid 20s. If you get driver's package and pano roof it's high 20s

[@Corkoth55]

yeah the prices are really good.. I kinda want to jump on one.. that would be a stellar daily driver I bet.

[@ginnynims7595]

I bought a 2017 MKZ 3T in Jan, 2020 and I love it. It had 25000 miles on it and I have the Reserve model which is just one step down from the Black Label. I have fun at times taking off against Cameron’s and Mustangs. They see an old lady driving a Lincoln and ignore me until they are way behind me. Great laugh.

[@rjvisualz]

400HP??? .... Would of never guessed! RT challenger has 375 this is definitely a sleeper 💪🏼💪🏼

[@vonvlogstv8738]

RJ Visualz and it’s awd

[@KlipschHead281]

I ran an SRT Hemi at GLD in my '17 MKZ 3.0 AWD 4 times, her best was a 13.2 mine was a 12.7, she was not happy losing to a 4 door Lincoln.

[@ParentsOfAking]

Niice Review My Boy! I’m Also A Fan Of The MKZ 3.0T, Keep Pushing Bro!!!

[@bobr.6312]

You did an A+ job reviewing this car. I have one with the 4 cylinder...but otherwise, it is the same...and no slouch either...Thanks for a great review.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Bob R. No problem more to come

[@fehnraal9144]

I've got a 2014 MKS 3.7 and I am thinking about selling it to get myself into a turbocharged MKZ (2017 - 2020). The MKS is quick enough at 304hp and a 6.2s 0-60, but it's too long and heavy to really have fun in.

[@luken7451]

I'm debating the 2020 MKZ reserve 3.0. They look clean and it's the last year of them

[@RC-jg2fz]

Hey man I just picked one of these up 4 days ago. Identical to the one in this video, same year, color, same interior, but with the panoramic roof and adaptive cruise. They offered me a great deal on my V6 Camaro, and this was only 4k more with the same miles. Price new on mine was 57k, and got it for 28k with 38,000 miles. Not bad considering the inflated prices now. I'll throw up a video soon after I get it waxed and tinted, so stay tuned. We were talking about the Fusion Sport a few weeks ago, but loaded ones were similar priced to this MKZ, so this ended up being a much better value all said and done

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Nice man let me know how you like it

[@bmshaven]

I got a Reserve last year for 23k with 32k miles on it. My timing was quite good as well.

[@Bausjeudisdh]

Upload that video man! I’m in the market for an mkz

[@terrymott8581]

I bought my 2017 MKZ 3.0T AWD w/28k mi for $24.5k. Now I have about 64k mi on it. It's a blue one.. I drive 86 mi a day round trip. Some would say why have it you're just wearing it out. I love this car, you feel the acceleration in your stomach at times. It still has the original brakes. I did have to buy tires, and I think because of the AWD they tend to wear faster. It's great in the snow. I leave it in sport mode all the time. I like messing with the other brands at times, as far as take off. Funny story with the 600 hp Caddy CTS-V, he tried getting away from me, as we were on the highway for quite a while, he would accelerate, I would accelerate, just playing, not flat out racing, I know he went home that day saying what the hell was that thing.

[@ernestojanniere76]

JUST NEED DAT PANAROMIC SR!!!! BUT STILL DOPE AF!!

[@bigtreesfall]

Good review. 🫡

[@shawnp8672]

Good review. Im definitely buying one!

[@chee6547]

Just picked one up. Have mustang week coming this summer..should be fun :)

[@ernestojanniere76]

YUP BEEN PEEPING THIS ONE OUT. LUXURIOUS AND MASH ON DA GAS!!!!! PLUS EXCLUSIVITY!!!

[@rondell2329]

Considering this or the kia stinger and suggestions?

[@twinforce_fusion6560]

Yup, that 3.0 is an awesome engine. Perfect for the Ford Fusion Sport swap..

[@vonvlogstv8738]

If you do what parts would you not be using

[@twinforce_fusion6560]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/onekaGuHepd1ias Not sure exactly, but it's a %100 bolt on swap, the only thing you need is a proper tune (From Unleash or TunebyJames). I personal took the engine from a 2019 MKZ and bolted all my OEM stuff and powertrain parts on it. I only purchase the engine from LKQ, not the transmission, or axles, etc. But, you could do and entire front clip swap if you want. Also, all the aftermarket parts that exist for the Fusion Sport, (down pipes, MKZ turbos, etc) are actually for the 3.0 and not originally for the 2.7. It's a good swap, because it makes the Fusion a more refined car.

[@skaileep]

[@hakimwhite1999]

Ive been thinking about getting a infiniti g37 for a show car which is priced around 18k but I think you just changed my mind. I can get a 400 hp tt with great fuel economy pfff shoooottt. Plus the luxury feeling! Great Vid man.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

hakim white thank you. I agree the g37 is a nice platform for a stance build. Also the fusion sport is also worth checking out

[@michealchavez186]

Debating a Infiniti Q50 vs the mkz. Can I ask what you decided?

[@vonvlogstv8738]

3.0t is faster with a race box tune but with the unleashed tune for the mkz 3.0t it moves also

[@Theeeeea]

@@michealchavez186 I would say a q50 or q60, more sportier looking

[@danielcrivatu7151]

Ma Goddness!!! Can i buy one of these in Europe!! I want this badass sleeper!!

[@okeuwechue9238]

thnx for the engine's horsepower info, but more importantly, what are its torque figures?

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Oke Uwechue 400hp and 400tq

[@farmageddon2978]

this car slaps, i couldn't find a v6 awd 3.0 in a 200 miles radius under 35k, but i did find a 2017 v4 2.0 turbo select fwd with only 2900miles on it! i paid 25k not to bad around 260hp

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Farmageddon hit up livernois Motorsports they’ll make it even better

[@desi4lyfe379]

It is a matter of time when these cars will start making creaking, clunking and banging noises. Other than that, this car is a beast.

[@redetroitwing]

Like to see if a tune and maybe e85 would put those numbers on the ground , and then full bolt ons would be knocking on 500hp

[@vonvlogstv8738]

dusty fleissner I’m sure. Driving this made me want to get one and build it

[@USDM_Jesus]

Only realistic competition to this car is probably the q50 rs500

[@christopherwiley01]

I own this bitch. Twin turbo foo shoooo

I want to go back to this or a fusion sport not going to lie

[@AMoose454]

I’m picking up my MKZ reserve 3.0 end of this month. All black. First thing first I gotta put 5% tints on it all around. How do you feel about the performance on it? I’m upgrading from a 2018 fusion sport that had the 2.7 twin turbo.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Alex Moose make sure you hit up livernois Motorsports for a tune

[@AMoose454]

VonVlogs Tv yeah I think they’re located here in SE Michigan. I’ll def do that.

[@vonvlogstv8738]

Alex Moose yea that’s who tuned my mustang

[@joeblo4519]

The 3.0 TT is based on the 2.7 Turbo, I own one looks just like the one in the video, but with panoramic sunroof. Had her about 6 months, and put about 10k miles on it. Fun, luxury cruiser, and that 3.0 surprises you with its torque.
