2009 Lincoln MKX Base FWD Automatic

Model Highlights

The 2-wheel drive 2009 Lincoln MKX starts at $37,335 while the 4 wheel drive 2009 Lincoln MKX starts at $39,185. The Lincoln MKX is built on the same platform as the Ford Edge. It features a large front grille as well as other Lincoln-specific design cues. The 5-passenger Lincoln MKX crossover utility vehicle emphasizes on-road comfort and interior space and versatility. The Lincoln MKX combines a contemporary, somewhat sporty exterior look with large 18-inch aluminum wheels, chrome grille and flowing exterior lines, with traditional American luxury styling cues inside. The interior is trimmed in wood and nickel, and there's a 'cool white' theme for interior lighting. The interior is especially quiet and comfortable. The Lincoln MKX has thicker sound insulation than most other vehicles in its class, and both rows of seating are sized for full-size adults. For expanded cargo space, the back seats -- which can be reclined up to 15 degrees -- fold forward easily via an Easy Fold remote switch (which comes as part of the $995 Ultimate option package). There are also several useful smaller storage areas, including a center console sized for laptops. The rear liftgate has a unique lighting system featuring LEDs inside and out, surrounding the Lincoln emblem. And overhead, an available panoramic vista roof allows a significant portion of the roof to be open to the sky. Other notable standard features include satellite radio, heated and cooled front seats, front power lumbar support, a reverse sensing system and a memory feature for the mirrors and the power driver's seat. Ford's Sync system is also standard. The Lincoln MKX includes front side-impact air bags and full-length side-curtain air bags as standard. The safety canopy system for the curtain bags assures protection during rollover situations, while the AdvanceTrac with roll stability control helps avoid those situations in the first place. Anti-lock brakes are standard as well. Heated seats are available for the back. Other standout options include adaptive projector headlamps that turn the beam into a corner with the steering wheel, DVD-based navigation, a rear-seat DVD system with an 8-inch screen and a 14-speaker, 600-watt THXII-certified audio system. There's only one engine available on the Lincoln MKX, a 265-horsepower, 3.5L V6, paired with a 6-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, and an all-wheel-drive system is available. Fuel economy on the 4-wheel-drive Lincoln MKX is good at 17 mpg city, 24 highway.
