Ford Motor Co. will unveil a hybrid version of its Lincoln MKZ sedan Wednesday at the New York International Auto Show, The Detroit News reported today, citing  people familiar with the company's plans.


It will be the first luxury hybrid offered by the Dearborn automaker, which was the first U.S. manufacturer to bring hybrids to market in 2004.


Ford already offers hybrid versions of the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan. The hybrid Lincoln MKZ will be built off the same platform.


Other than the gasoline-electric powertrain and different badging, it will be identical to the regular gasoline version of the midsize sedan.


Company sources have told GreenCarAdvisor that details may be forthcoming on Wednesday.
