The 2011 to 2012 Lincoln MKZ HEV received a four-star overall rating from NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program for US-market vehicles. In frontal crash testing, the vehicle earned three stars. Side crash protection was rated at four stars, while rollover resistance also received four stars. The side pole test resulted in a four-star rating. NHTSA applies these ratings across model years until a significant redesign occurs, so this assessment covers the entire 2011 to 2012 range.
