Comfort
The Lincoln MKZ offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Cadillac CTS with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles.

Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Lincoln MKZ and the Cadillac CTS have similar Destination Charges.

Drivetrain
With similar torque, the Lincoln MKZ and the Cadillac CTS do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.
