Whereas Ford will be revealing the production version of the 2013 Fusion sedan at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday, its premium brand Lincoln will debut a concept of the next generation MKZ sedan.

The current model is heavily based on the soon-to-be replaced Ford Fusion and that won’t change with the new MKZ. What Lincolns promises, however, is that its lowest priced sedan will have a more unique design inside and out.

For the time being, we only have a cropped image of the MKZ showcar that was released by Lincoln and which shows the sedan’s boot that features the ‘Lincoln’ name and a full-width tail lamp strip.

Lincoln has said that the concept not only previews the next MKZ sedan but also the firm’s new design language.
