In the mid-size crossover SUV segment, there’s a lot to choose from in this day and age. The premium side of the segment is a sea of options as well. Does the 2016 Lincoln MKX crossover has what it takes to grab a slice of the sales pie? In a nutshell, yes, partly because of its intelligent pricing strategy in the US.
While the 2015 model year is $39,795, Lincoln will sell you the least expensive second-gen MKX for $39,025. So the all-new model is cheaper than its predecessor. But other than a slight pricing advantage, it’s also better equipped from the get-go. In terms of standard features, the entry-level is laden with them.
Without further ado, the 2016 Lincoln MKX Premiere model is coming with two-wheel drive, an automatic transmission, a 3.7-liter naturally aspirated V6 motor, 18-inch alloy wheels, lots of aluminum trim inside, a proximity entry key, reverse parking camera, 8-inch MyLincoln Touch infotainment and faux leather for the seats. The front seats are heated and boast memory.
All-wheel drive costs an additional $2,495 over the previously mentioned entry-level price for the 2016 Lincoln MKX. If you need more bounce to the ounce, you can choose the Select ($42,315), Reserve ($46,080) and Black Label ($52,240) trim levels. What do these grades add over the MKX Premiere?
The Select boasts real leather, power-folding mirrors, power tailgate, wood trim, and HomeLink garage door opener. Move on up to the Reserve and things get even better: 20-inch alloy wheels, 10-speaker audio system, satellite navigation, blind-spot monitoring system, rear cross-traffic alert and panoramic sunroof.
The top-of-the-range Black Label gets 19 speakers, suede headliner (not real suede, of course), inflatable rear seat belts like on the Ford Fusion/Mondeo and multiple personalization options.
