Pros and Cons*
Pros
The comfort level and quiet interior are the epitome of American luxury vehicle know-how. The sophisticated all-wheel drive system and numerous standard features make it a very attractive proposition.
Cons
Complex system controls and a striking physical resemblance to its Ford stablemates in design and name do nothing to help MKX sales.
Price
The MKX, which starts at $47,850, is available in all-wheel drive only. The 100A option package includes heated/ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, Sirius satellite radio, infotainment centre with dual USB ports and SD slot, leather-covered steering wheel with integrated system controls, dual-zone air conditioning and HID adaptive headlights.
The 101A option package brings the MSRP to $51,550 and distinguishes itself with a sight and sound package, navigation system, THX audio and panoramic sunroof.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy ratings are an estimated 12.1 L/100 km city and 8.7 L/100 km highway.
Exterior Styling
Cousin of the Ford Edge, this luxury crossover has its own unique, refined style. The oversized vertical-fin front grille, fluid lines, 18-inch polished-aluminium wheels and rear spoiler reinforce its sporty aspirations.
Drivetrain
The 2013 Lincoln MKX is powered by a 3.7 litre V6 that delivers 305 hp and 280 lb-ft torque which drives all four wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode.
Cargo Capacity
Trunk-only volume is a generous 914 litres, expandable to 1,942 litres by lowering the rear seats.
Safety
This Lincoln is equipped with six standard airbags, a passenger detection system and seatbelt monitor that provide an extra level of safety.
Comparable Models
Acura RDX, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Cadillac SRX, Infiniti FX, Lexus RX, Nissan Murano, Subaru Tribeca, Toyota Highlander, Volkswagen Touareg, Volvo XC90.
