What Is It?
2007 Lincoln MKX
What's Special About It?
Built on a car chassis shared with the Ford Edge, the Mark X will be Lincoln's first crossover SUV when it goes on sale late this year.
Aimed directly at luxury crossovers like the Lexus RX 330 and Cadillac SRX, the Mark X uses Ford's newest 3.5-liter V6 which produces 250 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. Coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, Lincoln expects the Mark to accelerate as fast as anything in the class. Both front- and all-wheel drive will be offered.
In order to keep up with the class leaders when it came to interior luxury, Lincoln gave the Mark X a traditional cabin design and upscale trim. Satin nickel accents contrast with good-looking walnut trim on the dash and door panels. Square gauges similar to Lincolns of the past add a nice retro touch.
All the latest technological features are offered in the Mark X, including heated and cooled seats, a DVD-based navigation system, and side curtain airbags with rollover protection. Rear-seat passengers not only get plenty of space thanks to its long wheelbase, there's also an optional panoramic sunroof, 14-speaker THX-certified DVD entertainment system and console-mounted MP3 jacks.
What's Edmunds' Take?
With a competitive engine package, car-based chassis and unique styling, the Mark X is Lincoln's best shot in awhile at gaining back market share from Cadillac and Lexus. — Ed Hellwig
