2016 Lincoln MKX

Jun 10, 2015

The 2016 Lincoln MKX is coming to Irwin Ford Lincoln, your Laconia NH Lincoln dealer since 1951. This luxurious SUV will be a testament to quality engineering and premium materials. The amount of technological innovation that has gone into the 2016 Lincoln MKX is truly breath-taking.

One of the most exciting new features include a 360-degree camera that provides a bird’s eye view of the area surrounding your MKX. This is achieved by combining four different cameras, one in the front fascia under the Lincoln star badge, one on each side mirror, and the rear view camera. And the yes, the forward-facing camera under the Lincoln badge is literally under the badge; the badge actually slides up to expose the camera when the 360-degree system is in use. The design team who came up with this revolutionary concept added that they love the “James Bond” feel of having high-tech accessories hidden in the car. And to add another layer of over-the-top luxurious technology, the front-facing camera has a self-cleaning system under the Lincoln badge to keep the lens crystal clear at all times.

As far as the sound system, all 2016 Lincoln vehicles will feature Revel Audio, a division of Harmon that was designed exclusively for the Lincoln Motor Company. You won’t find Revel anywhere else; it is committed to a 10-year exclusive partnership with Lincoln. Revel was designed to provide a luxurious feel and premium product. Kevin Voecks, Founder of Revel Audio, called Revel, “a clear channel between the artist and your ears.”

Revel Ultima, the highest end Revel, will be standard on all Black Label Lincoln vehicles. Revel Ultima will feature 19 speakers and a subwoofer, as well as a personalized audio system that allows you to adjust the sound to your exact specifications. There is a setting called “Audience” that makes it sound as if you are right there in the concert hall. Even more exciting is another setting called “Onstage” that makes it sound as if you are actually on stage with the musicians. Revel will be uniquely calibrated for every Lincoln product, so the calibration on an MKX will be specific to an MKX, while the MKS, MKZ, MKC, and MKT will all have their own specific calibrations based on cabin design.

Even the seats have been redesigned. The Lincoln Motor Company started with the question, “How do you make the seat personal to the driver?” The result of this query is a 22-way seat with active motion that includes power thigh extensions and power headrests to accommodate a range of body sizes. The massage features keep you relaxed on long trips, while the heated and cooled leather seats will provide the over-the-top comfort you expect from a premium luxury brand like Lincoln. The end result is ease of operation combined with a luxurious seat to deliver a premium driving experience.

The 2016 Lincoln MKX has a more modern interior with an all-new wheel, modified center console, and improved wood and aluminum decorative materials. The 2016 MKX has two available V6 engines. The first is a naturally-aspirated 3.7L V6 which produces 300 horsepower and 221-ft-lb of torque. The second is a Ti-VCT EcoBoost 2.7L V6 with twin turbochargers. This turbocharged motor, although smaller, cranks out a whopping 330 horsepower and 369 ft-lb of torque! Be sure to look for the completely redesigned 2016 Lincoln MKX at Irwin Ford Lincoln this fall!
