Lincoln MKX will advance Lincoln's lineup, joining Zephyr in moving into new markets and reaching out to a new generation of Lincoln customers. Lincoln MKX further demonstrates how Lincoln will differentiate itself with design.

" Lincoln is the luxury of the future," says Horbury. "People's attitudes about luxury are shifting, and Lincoln is leading the charge. This is an opportunity for Lincoln to reclaim its rightful place in the American luxury market."



Lincoln Lighting

Distinctive lighting is a hallmark of modern Lincoln design, offering the perfect balance between art and functionality.

An available adaptive front lighting system in the headlamps consists of motor-driven halogen low beams that swivel around curves based on steering-wheel input. When cornering, the headlamps can illuminate a stretch of road up to 36 feet longer than conventional headlights.

"New light-source and headlamp design technologies allow us to create more interesting lighting solutions that look better and help customers see more clearly at night," says Sudhir Sahay, manager, Lincoln SUV and Truck Marketing.

Functional elegance is also the theme for Lincoln MKX's liftgate lighting. The system uses 16 light-emitting diodes (LEDs), eight outboard and eight inboard, flanking the Lincoln star. The result is an edge-to-edge band of illumination across the width of the liftgate.



Quiet, Comfortable Interior

Lincoln 's modern identity is evident in Lincoln MKX's comfortable, elegant interior.


Lincoln MKX boasts the quietest Lincoln interior yet. In addition to conventional sound-absorbing techniques such as a thicker dash pad, laminated windshield and thicker side glass, Lincoln MKX blends unique materials for further reduction in road noise. A constrained-layer barrier is fused to the rear wheel houses, and sound-deadening material is welded behind exterior trim panels.


The interior design is defined by a sweeping instrument panel flowing into a clean, well-organized center stack. Wood and satin nickel accents are carried to the door panels. Interior controls are bathed in Lincoln's cool-white light for a pleasing nighttime cabin experience.

Removable dividers in the center console let customers adapt their storage space for anything from laptop computers to handbags and CDs. The center console also features an available concealed power point - for four in total throughout the interior - and an MP3 audio jack. Phone and MP3 player cords can be neatly organized, as a slot molded into the console provides power-point access.


The interior is surprisingly spaciousness, defying the sleek exterior shape. Front seats have eight-way power adjustment, power lumbar for both driver and passenger, and available heated and cooled features. The second row is sure to make all occupants comfortable with available heated seats, impressive headroom and best-in-class legroom.

In addition, the 60/40-split second row features impressive reclining angles of up to 15 degrees. It also folds and pivots in one fluid movement, either by the seat-mounted lever or a unique Easy Fold remote switch accessible from the liftgate. Lincoln MKX offers 68.7 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seats folded.



Vista Roof Lets in Mother Nature

As drivers face more congested roads, Lincoln MKX's available all-glass Vista Roof brings stress relief through its unique outward view and open-air freedom.
