Redesigned for the 2016 model year, the Lincoln MKX midsize crossover seats five passengers in spacious comfort. An improved SYNC 3 infotainment system debuted during 2016. Little has changed for the 2017 model year.
Based upon the structure of the Ford Edge, the Lincoln MKX has been the brand's best-selling model, for good reason. Styling is handsome, but restrained. Four trim levels are offered, including a Black Label edition that comes in a choice of four luxuriant leather trim schemes.
Two powertrains are available. Standard is the familiar 3.7-liter V6, developing 303 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. An optional 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 generates 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet. Either way, fuel economy is about average for the class. Both engines mate with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive may be installed on any MKX.
