It was based on the Ford Fusion and was intended to be a more luxurious and refined alternative to the Fusion. The MKZ was available in four trim levels: Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Black Label. The Premiere trim came standard with a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, while the Select, Reserve, and Black Label trims came standard with a 3.7L V6 engine.
