The MKX is a five-passenger utility vehicle similar to the Nissan Murano, and Lexus RX. The MKX is closely related to its corporate sibling the Ford Edge. A 305-bhp 3.7 L V-6 mated to a 6-speed automatic drives the MKX. Both FWD and AWD versions of the MKX are available. The MKX's chromed grille is flanked by adaptive HID headlights that swivel to illuminate around curves. The luxurious interior combines wood trim, leather seats and polished metal accents. A new instrumentation approach from Ford incorporates all information and controls in to the large center mounted screen in the instrument panel as well as the configurable displays the flank the speedometer.

What Changed:

The MKX receives a mid-cycle makeover for 2011. A new split-grille adorns the front end of the MKX. Further changes to the wheels, wheel arches, rocker panels, and tail lamps update the styling of the MKX to match the latest products from Lincoln. The new interior features significantly upgraded instrumentation with electronic displays flanking the center mounted speedometer. The larger navigation screen incorporates more vehicle functions than before but includes new touch sensitive buttons on the instrument panel. A new 3.7l V6 engine provides more power while increasing fuel economy. Improvements to powertrain NVH and sound deadening should result in a quieter interior. Suspension and brake changes promise a more confident and refined ride.
