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.
