Lincoln goes chasing the Lexus RX

Overview Information

Although it is a replacement for the slow-selling Aviator, the new MKX is a very different vehicle. Although commonly referred to as a CUV (Crossover Utility Vehicle), the MKX is really a tall station wagon. The MKX is powered by a 250-bhp 3.5L V-6 mated to a 6-speed automatic. FWD and AWD versions of the MKX are available. Properly equipped, the MKX can tow up to 3,500 lbs. The MKX's chromed grille is flanked by adaptive headlights that swivel to illuminate around curves. A luxurious interior features a choice of two types of wood trim, leather seats, and polished metal accents. The front seats are heated and cooled. Audiophiles will appreciate the 600-watt THX(R) II stereo with 14-speakers and dual subwoofers.

The 2009 Lincoln MKX is strength and elegance perfectly blended in a refined yet dynamic design. With features like the six-speed automatic transmission, available all-wheel-drive, standard heated-and-cooled front seats and available heated rear seats, the Lincoln MKX is poised to meet the demands of discriminating customers. Since its debut as a 2007 model, the Lincoln MKX has defined Lincoln's presence in the fastest-growing premium crossover segment with its elegant exterior design, award-winning interior and third-party recognition...Read.
