2011 Lincoln Mkx in Dickson, TN - $0

The all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX, debuted earlier this year at the 2015 North American International Auto Show. The new MKX is designed to attract a wide range of customers in the United States and beyond by offering more technology, engine choices and personalization options.

The exterior design is dramatic, with a modern, contemporary silhouette and well-balanced proportions that bears a family resemblance to the current “face” of Lincoln. Available adaptable full-LED front headlamps are subtly executed as blades, rather than projectors, aligned with the horizontal orientation of the split-wing grille.

New for 2016 is the Auto Hold feature, which relieves the driver from having to press the brake pedal continuously to keep the vehicle stationary in traffic. Auto Hold releases the brakes when the accelerator pedal is pressed. The available LED headlamps include a feature that adapts when accelerating from 0 to 35 mph by adding width to the low-beam pattern through the use of additional LED reflector elements.

Available in Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Black Label trim levels, power for the MKX is generated by the standard 3.7L V6 gasoline prime mover. An advanced 2.7L twin-turbocharged Ti-VCT EcoBoost V6 motor is an available option. The EcoBoost engine delivers 30 more horsepower and 90 lbs-ft of torque more than the base V6. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with push-button shift and SelectShift®. Front-wheel drive is standard, with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive an available option.

The addition of the integral link rear suspension, upgrades to the body structure and chassis components, make the new model the best-handling, best-riding and quietest Lincoln MKX ever. Available Lincoln Drive Control, a suite of ride-enhancing technologies, optimizes performance and offers three distinct modes: Normal, Sport and Comfort. The Lincoln MKX has standard electric power-assisted steering and is the first Lincoln to offer adaptive steering.

Inside the passenger cabin, the interior design language creates an open yet cocoon-like environment that is as quiet as it is beautiful. The push-button gear shift creates a dramatic open suspension bridge that flows from the instrument panel to the center console, providing two tiers of open space. Newly available 22-way adjustable front seats with active motion help reduce muscle fatigue in the upper legs and lower back through six adjustable air bladders in the cushion and five adjustable air bladders in the lower seat back.

Further adjustments can be made through the four-way power head restraint and the power thigh extender. The thigh bolster deflates to make exit easier and reinflates after entry to the previous setting.

The MKX helps occupants maintain a real-time connection with the rest of the world. Always-on, built-in connectivity is provided through an available embedded modem. Via a smartphone app that communicates with the vehicle, the available MyLincoln Mobile™ app gives owners the ability to start, lock, unlock and locate their vehicle, as well as schedule a remote start. A host of helpful driver aids and technologies are also available, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system, cross-traffic alert and a height-adjustable hands-free power liftgate.

Several available technologies, starting with the 360-degree camera help make all kinds of low-speed parking situations easier. The MKX has an ultrasonic sensing system with 12 sensors enabling the full range of available parking-assist features: front rear side sensing, perpendicular and parallel parking assist and park out assist.

The all-new Lincoln MKX also adds pre-collision assist, which may help avoid or lessen the severity some frontal crashes with another vehicle or pedestrian in certain situations and conditions. If the system detects another vehicle or pedestrian, the system will first provide a collision warning and then the system will automatically apply braking if the driver has not taken any corrective action.
