Lincoln Vehicles
Luxurious and distinct

The Lincoln MKX is a luxury vehicle model that offers one of the least repair headache costs, according to Smart Money magazine.

The magazine said the bumper is situated just right to prevent damage to such pricey parts as the radiator and headlights. The widespread availability of aftermarket parts also helps lower the repair tab.

The vehicle is evolutionary in design with a distinct chrome grille and graceful, flowing lines. Yet, it is broad and athletic.

The interior is inviting and stylish, as well. Wood and chrome are mixed for great accents, and seats are soothing and comfortable.

MKX uses an innovative aluminum 3.5-liter Duratec V-6, delivering a potent 265 horsepower. The ride is powerful but smooth.

Estimated fuel economy is 16 miles per gallon city and 24 on the highway.

Included among the six airbags are the ones in the safety canopy system, which help protect the driver and passengers in the event of a rollover or side-impact accident. The system includes rollover protection and side-curtain airbags. The seat-mounted side-impact airbags deploy from the outboard seatback to ensure extra protection to occupants no matter how the seat is positioned.

MKZ

Lincoln MKZ also has an assertive, confident stance and crisp, clean lines.

Inside is a white light-emitting diode instrument panel, stylish center console, standard genuine wood trim in maple or ebony and sophisticated satin-nickel accents.

The vehicle has an ultra-quiet haven that utilizes thick side-front window glass and one-piece enhanced door seats, absorption padding under the carpet and layers of sound-deadening materials.

MKZ offers Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, providing confidence in all conditions. When wheel slippage is detected, power is automatically transferred to the wheel with the most traction, allowing the MKZ to enhance its grip on the road.

MKS

MKS

Lincoln MKS is a sedan with dual polished chrome exhaust tips.

Details set it apart. Shielded from the hot sun by an available rear window power sunshade, exquisite materials fill the interior of this sedan. From the precision cuts and hand-crafted stitching of the nearly seamless dash and center console to the selection of the ornately grained genuine olive-ash or sustainable fine-line ebony woods, every interior surface is created with harmony of style in mind.

Cooled front seats are a nice feature for summer and in the winter, even the rear seats are heated. The cool air flows through the seating perforations, channeling the air directly to the seating surface and providing relief from heat.

The intelligent all-wheel drive system constantly monitors driver and vehicle input to actively transfer torque to the wheel or wheels with the best traction.

The S.O.S. Post Crash Alert System unlocks the vehicle doors and activates the horn and emergency flashers in the event air bags are deployed.
