The 2018 Lincoln MKX Crossover

A four-door, five-seat crossover SUV, the 2018 Lincoln MKX distinguishes itself by delivering a solid range of high-tech features coupled to the high level of comfort and style drivers have come to expect from Lincoln-brand cars. Here's a small piece of what you can expect when you slip behind its wheel:

Four Solid Trims. The new Lincoln MKX has four trim levels that offering a varying level of great features: Premiere, Select, Reserve, and Lincoln Black Label. Even the basic Premiere trim offers a selection of features that are bound to make other SUV and crossover drivers envious.

Turbo-Charged Engine Power. The twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 engine option is one of the most powerful available in the midsize crossover SUV class. It's been rated for an estimated 335 horsepower and 380 pounds-feet torque. Push-button shift adds extra options to a driving experience that's already smooth and enjoyable.

Towing Ability. The 2018 Lincoln MKX has been rated for a towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds. It's more than a match for many of its similarly-sized competitors. Maybe you don't need that every day in Beachwood or Middleburg Heights. In those moments, however, where you need a car that can rise to the occasion, the Lincoln MKX has more than enough muscle to handle your utility needs.

Expert Comfort. The 2018 Lincoln MKX invests heavily in the comfort of its driver and passengers. The front seats have options for heated and massage seating, and it provides an exceptionally easy ride. Its sealed interior also keeps out almost all exterior noise, whether you're driving in town or on the highway.

SYNC 3 Convenience. The new Lincoln MKX comes equipped with an 8-inch LCD touchscreen. Coupled with the SYNC 3 media control system, it delivers the benefit of handy media apps like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. SyncApplink also lets you control some of your favorite apps with voice commands.

Top-Tier Driving Assistance Technology. The Lincoln MKX can give you access to advanced driving assistance technologies like Active Park Assist, lane-keeping software, and a 360-degree camera that gives you a full view of your car's surroundings.
