2019 Lincoln Mkt in Kennewick, WA - $20,495

Offering customers a real choice in the full-size luxury crossover segment, the Lincoln MKT three-row premium utility features modern design, infotainment and versatile flexibility. The full-size Lincoln crossover features the automaker’s current signature design language along with a subtly curved weight-saving magnesium liftgate that adds visual character while protecting generous rear cargo space.

Power for the luxury crossover is provided by two fuel-efficient engine choices: the proven 3.7L V-6 or a 3.5L V-6 EcoBoost™ engine. Torque for both engines is communicated to the pavement through either a 6F-50 (3.7L) or 6F-55 (3.5L EcoBoost) six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. This advanced gearbox offers the driver a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control.

All-wheel-drive is an available option with the standard 3.7L V-6. The AWD option enhances the vehicle’s capability in a variety of weather conditions. The sophisticated AWD system is fully automatic, using an advanced array of internal electro-mechanical clutches to efficiently distribute torque between front and rear wheels as needed. AWD is standard with the EcoBoost 3.5L V-6.

Inside the cabin, precision craftsmanship is reflected in world-class panel margins, and in the high tactile quality of interior surfaces and trim. The Lincoln MKT delivers a level of quiet confidence that delivers best-in-class levels of NVH control. Virtual modeling and wind tunnel tests helped engineers optimize the vehicle, influencing everything from side view mirror placement and special sound deadening in the bulkhead to extensive exhaust system isolation and the inclusion of both an acoustic windshield and dual-layer front side glass to specifically reduce A-pillar wind noise.

On the 3.5 EcoBoost V-6 equipped versions, engineers directed additional effort to minimizing induction noise, while still providing a rewarding aural cadence to Lincoln MKT acceleration.

The Lincoln MKT delivers abundant technologies aimed at making life luxurious for both the driver and three rows of passengers. A holistic approach was used to develop these amenities, where ease of use and intuitive operation were key objectives.
