An impressively energetic driving performance is matched by impressive fuel economy. The 2015 Lincoln MKX has an EPA-estimated rating of 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. And unlike some of the competition, premium fuel is not required, which could help you save even more at the gas pump.
Optional Intelligent All-Wheel Drive helps give the Lincoln MKX enhanced traction while providing impressive performance along with tighter handling and control. This system responds actively by redirecting power to the appropriate wheel for best traction. It also helps enhance the driver’s performance and handling in driving conditions such as rain, sleet, snow, gravel or sand.
Providing an exhilarating and sporty drive, the six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters offers the excitement of a stick shift with the convenience of an automatic by allowing the driver to manually select gears. The Lincoln MKX also offers hill start assist, which makes pulling away easier when the vehicle is on an uphill slope. This technology can help prevent rolling back on a grade by maintaining brake pressure for approximately two seconds while the driver moves his/her foot from the brake to the accelerator.
Roll Stability Control features a vehicle roll-motion sensor that directly measures the vehicle’s roll rate at least 100 times every second. This helps determine when and how it will utilize the brakes and modify engine power to help keep all four wheels firmly planted on the ground.**
Designed for performance and comfort, the luxury-tuned four-wheel independent suspension delivers agile handling, easily handles bumps on the road and helps reduce vibration.
Tow up to 3,500 lbs. when your Lincoln MKX is properly equipped with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, which includes trailer sway control to help you maintain control. That’s serious capability for a modern crossover. It works in conjunction with AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™)* to help maintain vehicle and trailer stability while you’re towing a trailer. Trailer sway control applies brake force to individual wheels and, if necessary, reduces engine power to help the driver regain control.
