2007 Lincoln MKX
DVD and THX Innovation
Lincoln's newest available DVD-based navigation system features a 6.5-inch-wide screen and text-to-speech technology that recites travel directions in English, Spanish or French.
Rear passengers can enjoy the available DVD entertainment system with a drop-down 8-inch screen. The available THX II-Certified® surround-sound audio system has 14 speakers, including two subwoofers with 600 watts of power and a sophisticated processor that inputs bandwidth, peak audio levels and coverage uniformity. Lincoln also offers optional factory-installed Sirius satellite radio.
Powerful, Refined and Efficient
The all-new 3.5-litre DOHC V-6 and 6-speed automatic transmission debut on Lincoln MKX, specifically tuned for effortless performance as needed on long drives or city driving. The powerpack was designed as a cohesive unit for refined performance, enhanced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) characteristics and good fuel economy.
The advanced 6-speed automatic transmission uses a wide 6.04:1 gear ratio, helping deliver 7 percent better fuel economy on the highway than a four-speed automatic. Multiple clutches are used for smoother, refined shifts.
Tuned for Corners and Comfort
Lincoln MKX is Lincoln's best example yet of effortless driving performance thanks to its wide stance, four-wheel independent suspension and the brand's well-honed driving dynamics DNA.
Lincoln MKX’s unibody construction provides a strong foundation for the four-wheel independent suspension. The MacPherson-strut front suspension is mounted to an isolated subframe that uses hydro-bushings to reduce unwanted steering wheel vibration.
A four-link independent rear suspension uses stamped steel control blades and monotube shocks for precise suspension tuning. The rear shocks are mounted outboard and behind the wheel centre to enhance ride and handling. Lincoln MKX comes standard with four-wheel disc brakes and an anti-lock braking system (ABS).
The MKX has an available intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system that is tuned with an emphasis on luxury performance and confident all-weather driving. The system actively and seamlessly delivers torque to all four wheels, even before wheel slippage occurs. An active on-demand coupler delivers the precise amount of torque needed to the rear wheels. Paired with available traction control, intelligent AWD can transfer torque front-to-rear and side-to-side.
Accident Avoidance and Protection
The Lincoln MKX offers exclusive AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control (RSC®) active safety system. The system provides better control as the crossover is driven in a spirited manor. Decoupling RSC from traditional yaw control allows each system to work most efficiently, providing improved side-slip control and enhanced roll stability control.
Lincoln MKX has six standard air bags, including front, side-impact front and side-curtain air bags. The steering wheel, knee bolster and glove box are all energy-absorbing components. The driver seat uses a seat position sensor while the passenger seat uses an occupant classification sensor - both are equipped with load-limiting safety belts and pretensioners.
Multiple layers of protection for occupants in side impacts include solid unibody construction with crossmember ladder frames, a reinforced greenhouse, energy-absorbing side door trim, seat-mounted side air bags and Safety Canopy ™ system with rollover detection and extended-duration side curtain air bags.
