2008 Lincoln MKX Review

To experience the view through the panoramic roof of the 2008 Lincoln MKX is an example of the attention to your comfort that makes this luxury SUV a classic. MKX is powerfully energized with a 3.5L Duratek V6 engine which delivers 265hp and 250lb-ft of torque. Expect smooth riding performance from the standard 6-speed automatic transmission as well.

Engineered for absolute dominance over extraneous sound, the MKX also is attuned to your voice, with SYNC integration enabling voice control over most of the Blue Tooth and MP3 functions in the vehicle. MKX remembers how you like your seat positioned and maintains close control of the seating temperature. With 31.8 cu-ft of storage with seats in the upright position or 69 cu-ft of storage with the rear seat folded down, the vehicle is surprisingly versatile.

Expect a comprehensive safety system in the Lincoln MKX, with integration of airbags, rollover protection, and generous crumple zones to prevent collision forces from intruding into the passenger area. Channeling collision forces away from passenger areas is the job of MKX's side impact reinforced doors and panels. Side and rear impact crash tests earned the Lincoln MKX a "good" in those categories.

The flowing style lines that define the vehicle's surface frame an unforgettable front grille. The aggressive stance of the MKX is emphasized by its wide athletic physique. The rear passengers are afforded a rare luxury, visibility. The panoramic roof is thrilling to experience, with its ability to be opened wide to let the outside into the vehicle. Convenience only matters if it's useful, and the motorized liftgate is a perfect example. With the push of a button, open or close the rear of the vehicle. A series of LED lights around the 2008 Lincoln MKX liftgate alert one that the process is in action.
