CarHub · Lincoln
The Lincoln MKZ is a genuinely American take on the mid-size luxury sedan — a quiet, comfortable four-door that was rarely, if ever, sold in Germany, which is exactly why importing one from the USA is appealing to buyers who want something different on the road here.

Model profile
The MKZ replaced the short-lived Lincoln Zephyr for the 2007 model year, so the first generation (2007–2012) is effectively the Zephyr evolved, sharing the Ford Fusion/Mazda6 (CD3) underpinnings. The second generation (2013–2020) moved to the newer Fusion (CD4) platform and brought the brand's split-wing grille, a push-button gear selector and a dramatic available retractable panoramic roof.
Powertrain and equipment
The US MKZ offered a broad engine menu. The first generation used a 3.5-litre Duratec V6 (around 263 hp) with front- or all-wheel drive.
The MKZ was always a four-door sedan. US trims evolved over the years but centred on well-equipped Select, Reserve and Black Label tiers in the later run, with the hybrid available across most of them.
Vehicle selection
The MKZ sold steadily across the US, so supply of clean, moderate-mileage cars is good, particularly second-generation examples.
An imported MKZ suits a buyer who wants a quiet, softly sprung American luxury sedan that stands apart from the usual German choices — whether that is a frugal MKZ Hybrid, a smooth 3.7 V6, or the potent 3.0 twin-turbo AWD.

Pre-purchase review
For the Lincoln MKZ, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on battery condition, charging interface, warning messages, software status and accessible high-voltage and cooling-system components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US MKZs run amber rear turn signals, have no rear fog lamp, and read in mph. Headlight aim follows US standards and may need adjustment or replacement.
Typical approval work includes fitting a rear fog lamp, adjusting or replacing headlights for European aim, handling side markers and confirming the odometer reads correctly.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
No, the MKZ was a North-American model, which is exactly why importing a used one from the USA gives you a distinctive luxury sedan here.
The 3.7 V6 is a smooth all-rounder, the hybrid is the economy pick, and the 3.0 twin-turbo AWD is the performance flagship. The 2.0 EcoBoost needs a careful coolant history check.
Possible 2.0 EcoBoost coolant intrusion, early MyLincoln Touch/SYNC glitches, panoramic roof seal maintenance, and door-electronics checks.
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
Yes, once it passes individual approval, with battery health and lighting confirmed as part of the process.
Typically several weeks from purchase to registration, mostly set by ocean freight and the TUEV/approval schedule.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
