The new Lincoln MKX crossover is loaded with comfort and convenience as a modern new choice in the luxury crossover utility vehicle (CUV) market.
Lincoln MKX's elegant design is combined with a sporty stance, powerful engine and quiet interior. It also boasts such technological advances as adaptive headlamps that move with the steering wheel, a panoramic glass roof, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, 14-speaker THX II audio system and DVD-based navigation.
Lincoln MKX is a five-passenger CUV powered by a fuel-efficient 3.5-liter engine with a class-leading 6-speed transmission and fully independent suspension. On sale in late 2006, the new Lincoln MKX builds on the success of the Lincoln Zephyr in appealing to a new generation of luxury buyers and defining a modern vision for Lincoln.
"Lincoln MKX appeals to new luxury buyers who express their success through understated gestures," says Peter Horbury, executive director, North America Design. "Lincoln MKX achieves modern luxury with its confident stance, elegant shape and luxurious, comfortable interior."
Modern Lincoln Design
Lincoln MKX's confident exterior and luxurious, quiet interior signal Lincoln's modern design vision.
The high beltline is defined by a stroke of chromed trim that caps broad shoulders, pronounced wheel lips and short overhangs that give Lincoln MKX its wide, athletic stance. A chromed cap on each side-view mirror adds the finishing touch.
Black rocker panels plant the vehicle to the ground, accentuating the standard 18-inch wheels and tires. Side marker lights cut into the simple, clean fascia and bend around to the side of the vehicle. Chrome-ringed fog lamps integrated into the lower fascia echo the chrome-tipped dual exhausts.
"The new Lincoln MKX crossover and Zephyr sedan give Lincoln strong products in two of the hottest luxury segments in the market," says Darryl Hazel, vice president, Marketing. "We want people to know Lincoln is giving buyers fresh luxury choices."
New Lincolns for New Luxury Customers
Today's luxury CUV buyers want the same style, refinement, fuel economy and carlike ride and handling that they experienced in luxury sedans. While they like the style of the CUV, they don't need all of the extra space and towing capability of traditional SUVs.
"Luxury CUVs are popular because they combine the style and efficiency of luxury sedans with most of the capability and flexibility of larger utility vehicles," says Al Giombetti, vice president, Sales. "Lincoln MKX addresses the luxury car buyer's demands with style, spirit, comfort and efficiency."
