2010 Lincoln MKT Review

The brand new 2010 Lincoln MKT is a culmination of modern innovation and well-thought convenience. It truly presents a revolutionary compilation of unique features all meticulously crafted to epitomize your pampering. There are four trims to select from: the base 3.7L Lincoln MKT, 3.7L Lincoln MKT Elite, Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost and the Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost Elite. MSRPs for those trims respectively begin at $44,995, $49,995, $49,995 and $54,995.

The EcoBoost classification implies that the MKT is fitted with a fuel-saving 3.5L V6 engine that cranks out 355 horsepower at 5700 rpm. The standard 3.7L 24V Duratec V6 engine is slightly less efficient in terms of fuel economy, but still delivers an awesome amount of ready power. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed SelectShift transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The 2010 MKT is front-wheel driven.

Lincoln is synonymous with luxury and the MKT tops the line. One of the most noticeable features on the MKT is the huge Panoramic Vista roof. Everyone inside is treated to spacious views of the sky or city lights at all times. There is an optional power feature that allows the entire glass to be retracted as well. While the front seats come with standard heating and cooling, the rear seats are offered with these features optionally. The versatile seating configuration is also one-of-a-kind, offering the ability to fold down flat either one or both rear seating rows. Fold down the first rear seating row to maximize space for back passengers as they enjoy leather captain's chairs. Fold them all down to create a cavernous cargo area.

The available Active Park Assist feature uses ultrasonic radar sensors to automatically detect the amount of space available for parallel parking. With just a few button pushes, your 2010 MKT from Lincoln will easily park itself for you. The Intelligent All-Wheel Drive System automatically delivers more power to the wheels with the most traction whenever wheelslip is detected in adverse weather conditions. And the BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert gives both visual and audio signals whenever there is a vehicle in your blind spot or whenever there are vehicles approaching in either lane as you are backing into traffic.

The Lincoln MKT for 2009 also treats you to the voice-activated Navigation System with SIRIUS Travel Link - a system that gets you where you're going with real-time traffic and weather updates. The screen is huge, full-colored and displays bird's-eye turn by turn voiced instructions to maximize the ease of your navigational needs. It also provides area-specific movie times, sports scores and more.

The list of standard features, safety and otherwise, is far too lengthy to list, but be assured that Lincoln has made it very impressive. The 2010 Lincoln MKT enters the new decade with a crossover vehicle that combines more than what seems possible. Every possibility for your traveling comfort and indulgence has been seamlessly incorporated. Pricing has been kept at a very respectable range and presents incredible value. Definitely allow yourself the privilege of experiencing the new MKT soon.
