The Car Guide rating 80%(view ratings)
Ever since it first launched, the MKX has been compared to the Ford Edge. These vehicles share the same general design and engine. For 2012, however, Lincoln has made a point of infusing the MKX with a personality all its own. The front and rear sections feature some of the brand’s classic traits and the sole engine is now a 3.7L V6. FWD equips the base version, but AWD is available on option.
