New 2009 Lincoln MKX

An innovative crossover vehicle with a wealth of dynamic, active features, the 2009 Lincoln MKX is the perfect blend of on-road civility and off-road capability in a sexy, svelte package.

Utilizing a 3.5-liter, 265-horsepower Duratec V-6 engine and ample amounts of torque, the MKX accelerates briskly with a standard smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. The available intelligent all-wheel drive system automatically senses wheel slippage and distributes torque appropriately to the wheels with the most grip. The four-wheel independent suspension enhances handling and soaks up road imperfections with ease.  The MKX receives 15-17 mpg in the city and 22-24 mpg on the highway and competes with the Cadillac SRX, Lexus RX and Volkswagen Touareg 2.

Available 20-inch chrome-clad aluminum wheels add style and grace to the MKX. The standard Reverse Sensing System audibly alerts you to objects behind the vehicle to make parking easier. The standard push-button power liftgate opens or closes hands-free, allowing easy loading and unloading. The unique available Vista Roof™ is a panoramic moonroof that allows front and rear passengers to experience an amazing view. The new innovative SYNC system allows you to control your cell phone and MP3 player with simple voice commands, giving you complete control over in-cabin communications and entertainment. Speaking of entertainment, the THX II Audio System with six-disc in-dash CD player and 14 speakers including a subwoofer and 600 watts bring peak power. The available voice-activated DVD-based Navigation System combines GPS technology with turn-by-turn voice guidance for expert directions and maps.

Active safety features include AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ to keep the vehicle firmly planted during evasive maneuvers, while the standard four-wheel Anti-lock Braking system and Traction Control enhance stopping power and prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. With a total of six airbags in the Safety Canopy™ system, including dual front airbags, seat-mounted side impact airbags and side curtain airbags with rollover detection, all passengers are protected in a rollover or collision. Available Adaptive Headlamps move as you turn the steering wheel, illuminating the road up to 36 feet longer than conventional headlamps, helping you see potential hazards ahead.

With futuristic styling, a wealth of advanced technology, and a refined powertrain, the 2009 Lincoln MKX is a cool crossover that points to the future.
