2007-2008 Lincoln MKX: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Lincoln's first car-type sport-utility vehicle was a five-passenger midsize wagon that shared its basic design and powertrain with the new-for-2007 Ford Edge. Not only did the MKX crossover display different styling, but it came with such features as leather upholstery (which was optional in the Edge), and with wood interior trim, which was unavailable in the Edge. Buyers could choose either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the latter without low-range gearing. The sole powertrain was a 265-horsepower V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission. Antilock braking and an antiskid system with rollover sensors were standard. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment also were standard. Black rocker panels accented the standard 18-inch wheels. Options included a navigation system, DVD entertainment, and a panoramic glass roof with integrated sunroof. Also available were heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and steering-linked headlights. Rivals included the Acura MDX, Cadillac SRX, Lexus RX, and Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
