The 265-horsepower Lincoln MKX is making its debut for the 2007 model year, becoming the manufacturer's first crossover vehicle. It blends luxury and looks with utility and safety. The safety factor is even bigger on the AWD trim, which adds Lincoln's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive technology, which constantly monitors each wheel and adjusts torque distribution accordingly and instantly. All MKXs come with front air bags with driver-seat position sensors and crash-severity sensors, side-curtain air bags, and ABS; roll stability control is available. The smooth-riding MKX prides itself on providing a comfortable experience for all occupants. The leather seats are a pleasure to sit in, especially when they have the optional coolers and heaters, and equipment both standard and available work together to make long drives seem too short. Innovative options on the crossover include the Vista Roof, a huge sliding moonroof with a fixed panel behind it, and adaptive headlights, which pivot to shine around curves in the road. Some see the MKX as simply a version of the Ford Edge with a plusher interior, a few more available options, and a higher price tag. That's up to individual opinion, but most sets of eyes will give it the edge over the Edge, and really all sets of ears will - the MKX offers a quieter ride for sure.
