Lincoln Zephyr

The all-new 2006 Zephyr masterfully combines advanced features with abundant creature comforts. From outstanding ride characteristics to an available Navigation System, Zephyr delivers a premium ride.

The 2006 Zephyr masterfully combines advanced technology with a host of comforting features, such as the roomiest interior in its class (Medium Premium Car class). In fact, it was voted the "Best Luxury Car Interior" by both industry and automotive journalist voters (EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy 20 city/28 hwy mpg.). Zephyr doesn't hold anything back in performance, either. It was the first car in its class to have a standard six-speed transmission (Medium Premium Car class) to help increase fuel economy (EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy 20 city/28 hwy mpg.) and deliver a smooth, powerful ride.

Exterior Features
* Exterior Details and Features. The first thing that catches your eye is the prominent chromed waterfall grille and sleek front headlamp cluster. As you view the Zephyr profile, the strong horizontal lines become obvious. Bright trim at the base of the windows combined with chromed sideview mirror caps accentuate the look. Visually arresting Light-Emitting Diode (LED) taillamps and 17" machined-aluminum wheels add a touch of flair.
* High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps. Brighten things up. Opt for the available HID headlamps for more illumination than the standard halogen headlamps offer.
* Power Exterior Mirrors. Power, heated chromed sideview mirrors with security approach lamps have an auto-dimming feature on the driver's side, and memory settings that will recall programmed positions for two different drivers.
* Plenty of Space. Spacious and Convenient. Whether it's a week's worth of luggage or groceries for a small army, the trunk is very accommodating. In fact, with 15.8 cu. ft. of luggage capacity, it's the largest one in its class (Medium premium car class based on passenger volume 96-100 cubic feet.). There are even grocery bag hooks to help prevent bag contents from spilling and being scattered around the trunk.
* Standard and Available Wheels. A. Standard 17-inch split-spoke machined-aluminum. B. Available 17-inch eight-spoke chrome-aluminum

Interior Features
* Heated and Cooled Seats. Standard heated front seats provide three settings. For relief from the summer's heat, select the available cooled front-seat system. Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. This standard feature lets you and your front passenger set the cabin temperature to individual preferences. The system will automatically maintain the temperature for each side. And thanks to extensive use of "soft-duct" technology, fan noise is reduced.
* Interior Details and Features. The cabin combines polished wood (your choice of figured maple or ebony) and satin-nickel and chrome finishes on all buttons, knobs and controls. The instrument panel sports a contemporary look and is easy to view both day and night. As an added touch, there is also an attractive analog clock. ":(Zephyr) has one of the most beautiful cabins in the class, miles ahead of Cadillac and Mercedes." - The Detroit News, February 8, 2005
* Feel the Breeze in Your Hair. Let the fresh air in. The available power moonroof can tilt to a vent position or open wide. If you like, you can leave the glass closed to enjoy the sunlight without a breeze. Or you can slide the shade forward to cover the glass. As an added benefit, you can open the moonroof (and front windows) with the integrated key fob global open/close feature.
* DVD-Based Navigation System with GPS. The most advanced Lincoln Navigation System ever. The available DVD-based Navigation System (Requires available THX (TM) II Certified Premium Sound System.) combines DVD mapping with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, providing turn-by-turn voice guidance with high-quality graphics and touch-screen simplicity. It even gives options such as the shortest route or shortest drive time. You can even customize the display and prompt options for a more convenient experience. NOTE: Navigation System is not available in Alaska.
* Premium AM/FM Sound System. The standard sound system will bring out the best in your music. It includes: Six-disc, in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability; Subwoofer; Speed-compensated volume control to help overcome road noise; Six speakers
* Comfort and Convenience. Seating features include: Leather-trimmed driver's seat with 10-way power adjustment, including lumbar; Standard memory function that remembers the way you and a second driver prefer your settings; 60/40 spring-assisted, split-fold rear seat featuring the convenience of a folding armrest with two cupholders
* THX (TM) II Certified Premium Sound System. When you opt for the available THX (TM) II Certified Premium Sound System, you'll be enjoying one of the most advanced car audio systems on the road today. This system may be combined with the Navigation System, which provides GPS technology with DVD mapping, as well as turn-by-turn voice guidance. The system includes: Fourteen speakers, including two subwoofers; Two amplifiers, and one center front/rear channel; Six-disc, in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability; Radio Data System (RDS) technology that can display the station name and format when receiving signals from a radio station also equipped with RDS

Performance Features
* A Great Performance. Engine features include: Intake Variable Cam Timing (IVCT), which means enhanced low-end torque and high-rpm power; A deep-skirted aluminum block that helps lower powertrain vibration, while the hydraulically lash-adjusted roller-finger followers in the valvetrain help provide quiet operation; The engine block is made of aluminum, which means it dissipates heat faster; 221 hp and 205 lb.-ft. of torque. "...(2006 Zephyr) one of the most affordable entry-luxury sedans. It is cheaper than the CTS and ES 330 and edges them out in terms of horsepower." - The Detroit News, November 2, 2005
* Standard Front-Wheel Drive for Better Traction. Front-wheel drive helps provide a more responsive driving experience. When the road surface is slippery, front-wheel drive can provide better traction because the weight of the engine is on top of the wheels that transmit the power.
* EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy. Lincoln Zephyr 20 city/28 hwy mpg.
* Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) Enhancements. You'll love what you don't hear. From bumper to bumper, engineers came up with a host of features to make the ride in Zephyr quiet and smooth. Features such as thick front door glass, aerodynamic sideview mirrors, special performance tires, an underbody shield, and many more, help preserve the ride quality in Zephyr.
* Four-Wheel Independent Suspension. This system allows each wheel to react independently to road bumps and surface imperfections, helping preserve ride quality.
* Double-Wishbone Design. The double-wishbone design is tuned to provide sporty performance. Understeer is reduced, and better contact with the road is increased for more consistent handling.
* Front and Rear Anti-Sway Bars. This feature helps reduce body roll, even through cornering maneuvers at high speeds.
* Six-speed Automatic Transmission. Zephyr is the first vehicle in its class (Medium premium car class.) to boast a six-speed automatic transmission that maximizes the feel of the engine, thanks to its wide-ratio transaxle. The result is quiet and seamless shifts.

Safety Features
* Traction Control. Just one more way Zephyr helps you feel secure. Standard Traction Control maintains traction on slippery or loose road surfaces by using engine inputs to reduce wheel-spin. Traction Control sensors will detect slippage, and will automatically respond to help you maintain steering control.
* Help in Hard-Braking Situations. In hard-braking situations, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) can help you by electronically pumping the brakes for greater steering control in most driving conditions.
* High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps. Brighten things up. Opt for the available High-Intensity Discharge headlamps for even more illumination than the standard halogen headlamps offer.
* Protection for You and Your Front Passenger. Protection for you. Protection for your front passenger. The Personal Safety System (R) controls dual-stage airbag (Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.) deployment levels and safety belt tension in certain frontal accidents. This standard feature provides enhanced protection for both driver and front passenger.
* Safety Cage Construction. Safety Cage Construction includes: Crush rails that deform progressively to help absorb impact; Rocker panels that provide exceptional deformation ability; High-grade steel (nearly 0.25-inch thick) in the upper section, which helps protect occupants while lower-tensile-strength steel on the bottom helps absorb and manage the force of certain side impacts
* SecuriLock (R) Passive Anti-Theft System. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key, programmed to your vehicle, is used. Its standard perimeter alarm system automatically arms after the key is removed from the ignition and sounds the alarm if an unauthorized attempt is made to enter the vehicle.
* Remote Keyless Entry System. This feature lets you unlock the doors and trunk lid from up to 33 feet away. There is also a panic alarm on the key fob that flashes the headlamps and sounds the horn.
* Keyless Entry Keypad. The user-coded, class-exclusive (Medium premium car class based on passenger volume 96-100 cu. ft.) Keyless Entry Keypad on the driver's door lets you unlock the doors and the trunk lid and activate/deactivate the autolock system.
