![]() ![]() Precision Lincoln MKT craftsmanship is reflected in world-class panel margins, and in the high tactile quality of interior surfaces and trim. Standard on every Lincoln MKT is the brand’s signature design – complete with a split waterfall grille, a beveled chamfer along the vehicle’s shoulder line, a flowing cantrail that frames the greenhouse and full-width horizontal taillamps that span the subtly curved weight-saving magnesium liftgate that adds visual character while protecting generous rear cargo space. ![]() The all-new 2010 Lincoln MKT is larger than the two-row Lincoln MKX mid-size premium crossover and joins the sumptuous and sporty Lincoln MKS luxury sedan launched in 2008 and the new Lincoln MKZ sedan that hits the market in spring. “Lincoln MKT will help us further build momentum for Lincoln, which has been outpacing its luxury competitors and growing market share in recent months.” “We’re growing Lincoln’s product portfolio with a full-size crossover that offers more of everything luxury buyers want today – including more variety,” said Mark Fields, Ford’s president of The Americas. 12, 2009 – Lincoln is offering full-size luxury crossover customers a fresh new choice with the 2010 Lincoln MKT, a three-row tourer that delivers the optimal blend of fuel economy, performance, technology and spaciousness. Well leave our final judgment for the road, but color us seriously impressed by this effort from Ford.ĭistinctive new three-row Lincoln mkt offers luxuries of Fuel economy, TECHNOLOGY, spaceĭetroit, Jan. So what's the take away on the 2010 Lincoln MKT? If we go by the spec sheet, the way the interior is put together, the styling outside and the powertrain underneath, Lincoln is making a serious run at rewriting the book of crossover. Consider this sentence a place holder for us taking a breath. It also gets adjustable ambient lighting, a passive entry system first seen on the MKS, push button start, reverse camera, a capless fuel filler, dual head rest DVD players, rear seat window blinds, heated and air conditioned perforated leather seats, light up sill plates, and power lift rear hatch (obviously). Based on our experience with available Lexus system, we'll believe it when we test it. As we mentioned, there's a voice activated navigation system equipped with Sirius Travel Link, adaptive cruise control with collision mitigation which can pre-charge the brakes in anticipation of a crash, blind spot detection system, rear sonar and cross traffic detection (you're prompted with a warning if traffic approaches from the sides as you back out of a parking spot), and the piece d'resistance, automatic parking that finds a spot, directs you into place and does the rest of the work for you. The whole cabin stays airy with a fixed or sliding moon roof.īut what about those wonderful gadgets? The options list on the MKT reads like a techno-geek's wish list. Back seats are comfy for adults but best kept for the kids (when they aren't off at boarding school), they will offer a power folding option shortly after the start of production. You can get a 60/40 folding bench in the back, but that cuts down on the wow-factor and eliminates the rear seat refrigerator. As an option the center console smoothly transitions through the front seats into the rear passenger compartment and terminates between a pair of captains seats.
