Toyota Avalon vs. Lincoln MKZ Review

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Lincoln MKZ for a fill-up more often than the Toyota Avalon because of its tank size and fuel economy.

While the front cabin in the Toyota Avalon offers a bit more head room than the Lincoln, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Toyota make it more spacious for your passengers than the Lincoln MKZ.

The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Toyota Avalon to the dealership as the Lincoln MKZ. As far as gas mileage, the Toyota and the Lincoln MKZ don't differ much. The Lincoln MKZ will tax your gas budget considerably more than the Toyota Avalon will. The Toyota Avalon is substantially less costly than the Lincoln MKZ with respect to MSRP.
