2007 Lincoln MKX - Has Arrived
Overview
The new Lincoln MKX (pronounced Mark ex) 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-litre 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 your generation of luxury.

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.
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.
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 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.
Removable dividers in the centre console let customers adapt their storage space for anything from laptop computers to handbags and CDs. The centre 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.
Vista Roof™ features a large forward sunroof with a one-touch-open switch for vent and tilt-and-slide operations. Dual power sunshades operate concurrently when the driver wants to block out glare. Meanwhile, the fixed rear moon roof gives rear-seat viewers an outside view, too.
