Both news media and the industry at-large voted the 2006 Lincoln Zephyr as “Best Premium-Priced Car Interior of the Year” at the 7th annual Automotive “Interior of the Year” awards conducted by Wards Auto World magazine.

Lincoln Zephyr bested other luxury car nominees including the Mercedes S Class, Lexus GS, BMW 3 Series, Audi A6, and Cadillac DTS.

“This award emphasizes how we’re changing the game at Lincoln, building on the world-class interiors that Lincoln is known for,” said Peter Horbury, executive director of Design, North America. “The Zephyr was up against some very reputable competition and this honor is a telling sign of the level of detail we’re pouring into our interiors across the lineup.”

Ford Motor Company vehicles received other honors at the 2006 Ward’s Auto Interiors Show including:

  • Best Instrument Cluster – 2006 Ford Mustang
  • Popular-Priced CUV – 2007 Mazda CX-7
  • Premium-Priced Truck – 2006 Range Rover Sport
