Just getting my new 2017 MKZ Hybrid broke in but after 4700 miles my lifetime mileage is 42.3 MPG (actual mileage, not what the car's computer.) This included one 1200 mile highway trip at 70-75 MPH which puts a significant hit on mileage. My normal commute of 18 miles one way on two lane highways and city streets is ideal for a hybrid. My best tank so far has been 46.6 MPG and the lowest was 36.1 MPG. My driving style is mostly engage ACC at the posted speed limit and sit back and enjoy the ride. My previous car was a 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and my cumulative mileage when I traded it at 63,000 miles was 45.7 MPG.

Thanks for the welcome. My profile does not show 2017 as the year for my MKZ as the drop down menu for that entry only goes to 2016.

Good overall review. I just recently purchased a 2017 MKZ Hybrid. My previous car was a 2013 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid so the transition was rather painless as the drive train and hybrid displays are quite similar if not the same. . Loved the FFH but the MKZ is much nicer. Really like the Adaptive Cruise Control that brings you to a stop and then starts again in stop and go traffic although it took some getting used to to trust it was really going to stop! Haven't tried the Lane Keeping system yet but will shortly. Had it on my Fusion but seldom used it. Sync 3 seems to be more responsive and easier to use than the Touch system in the FFH. Cooled seats are new to me and quite nice this time of year.
