2013 Lincoln MKX Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
Lincoln’s midsize luxury crossover returns for 2013 with little fanfare; the luster from its 2011 redesign has not worn off. It offers a classy, comfortable, roomy ride for 5 adults. The MKX has a 3.7-liter V6 packing 305 hp with 280 lb-ft of torque (the same as the Mustang, so you know it’s got power). It comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and front-wheel drive; mileage is estimated at 19 mpg city/26 hwy. All-wheel drive (AWD) is available for the MKX, dropping the estimate to 17/23. Instead of trim levels, this car has “equipment groups” that combine popular options, such as a rear-view camera and heated steering wheel.
This year, the main update is in the MyLincolnTouch system, which attempts to simplify the multi-input (audio, touchscreen, sliders) system, with only moderate success. Still, once you get used to how the system works, you can control everything from the power liftgate to the air-conditioning with relative ease. Other new options include 22-inch aluminum wheels and metallic tints.
Outside, it’s fitted with that love-it-or-hate-it aggressive front grille, but otherwise its curves are quite demure. An odd bit of technology is included: A 5-button keypad above the driver's-side door handle allows you to push in an access code to gain entry. With keyless access already included, it seems positively retro to have old-school buttons. But then again the older, upscale clientele Lincoln's targeting is perhaps a little more touchy-feely than kids today.
The interior has won praises all around for its comfortable leather seats, variety of trim combinations and impressive 14-speaker THX-II sound system. There’s a media hub instead of a CD changer, which includes a USB port and SD charger, but its placement makes access difficult.
The MKX performs well on the road and offers passengers and driver the ability to have a conversation about where they should golf or lunch without shouting above road or engine noise. It’s got sufficient power and good handling, especially for a beast of its size. With its tall cabin, drivers and passengers are offered a good view of the world blushing past them. And it’s also safe, as it includes all the standard airbag faire, as well as antilock brakes and traction and stability control; the IIHS has rated it a Top Safety Pick for 2013.
As Lincoln continues its attempt to regain past glory, the MKX has proven to be a move in the right direction.

Vehicle was in bad shape upon receipt. The rotors were bad on vehicle which caused car to shake when stopping; the stereo amp was bad (sound from only front speaker) and sounded like a transistor radio; couldnt receive calls via Bluetooth; backup camera out of focus. Vroom refused repairs as promised. Slow to respond to our numerous calls and emails. Horrible car buying experience.Mar 15, 2022

The miles posted is a lot more in person.
Bank states that the loan amount for that specific VIN number which I asked for was blue book valued at $2400 less.
Tires were bald. Scratches all over. Oil leak in the back. $11,400 ?

My wife wants an small to medium size SUV that see can see out the back and sides, and it must have BLIS. The older MKX (2012 to 2015) series fits the bill.Mar 16, 2021

This vehicle looks very clean with minimum scratches to its exterior. Interior drivers seat has a little wear which is normal due to the fact its a 2013 model. All in all vehicle is well worth asking price.Apr 05, 2020

love those gadgets!
Styling is sharp. 20" rims look great.
Very comfortable ride and responsive handling
It has the adaptive cruise control and that is a terrific option
Also rain sensing wipers work very well in our climate
Only wish they would have had an LED lamp option on frontDec 02, 2014

Very pleased with this vehicle. I love that the leather seats are heated and cooled, and that the back seats are heated as well. Cargo room is great. I adore how I can sync my phone with the car for music, calls, streaming audio, etc. Handles well, rides smooth, quiet inside. Glad I purchased.Apr 24, 2014
What users have asked
A/C blows hot air one one side; cold on other; sometimes it changes sides
My a/c will blow very hot on one side one day but plenty cold on the other side then switch sides the next day. Sometimes it's okay (blows both sides cold) and it never does both sides hot. Thank goodness.
