2016 Lincoln MKX Redesign and Changes

2016 Lincoln MKX has announced for its debut at Beijing Motor Show in this year and it is the first SUV that has been presented by Lincoln out of the American continent. From those announcements, there are some speculations and information available related to the change and engine improvement for this new version.

2016 Lincoln MKX Exterior and Interior

2016 Lincoln MKX is a bit different from today’s MK because this new version has more muscle and even lithe body. It is featured by well tapered roofline and also stylish long fender arches. Moreover, the company will keep its trademark which is the split grille as the complement for the thin and horizontal slats flow to the excellent headlight units and also LED sign lights. The concept of this 2016 Lincoln MKX is the full-width taillight that has ultra-thin LED rear lighting and there is integrated pseudo spoiler to the liftgate below the window. It is based upon the Ford Escape but it is a bit various. The company also offers the car with 21 inches of wheel. Speaking about the cabin, the company will give increased knobs and buttons by utilizing less capacitive touch to control. We do hope that the car will be featured with MyLincoln Touch or QNX-based infotainment system for 2016 Lincoln MKX.

2016 Lincoln MKX Specs

The improvement around the technical detail is the two engine options. First, it goes with turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine 2.3 liter to generate the power for about 285hp and the second is V6 engine 3.7 liter to generate 300hp and 280 pound-feet of torque in 2016 Lincoln MKX. Moreover, the standard version is coming up with front-wheel drive system but all-wheel drive is optional. Those engines are paired to 6-speed auto transmission. At this time, the company is still developing about nine and ten speed automatic transmission which means if they could deal with those transmissions perhaps they will not use the six-speed auto transmission anymore.

2016 Lincoln MKX Release Date and Price

There is a big indication that this new version will start the sales debut until fall of 2015 and it will hit the American market first before going to other markets in the world. When it comes to the price tag, it should be started with the base for about $32,000 and the higher trim level is for more than $34,000 for the new generation of 2016 Lincoln MKX.
