2012 Lincoln MKT

Return for the 2012 model without modification of the Lincoln MKT crossover is a cult-following in a couple of fans to pull together a puzzle with many looks. The styling could not be polarizing. It's been a great car, but the MKT rash about the size of the ribs of the huge amount winged grille, chrome arrythmic revival of the shoulder line is always that at the sides, all the way to the tailgate abbreviation. For a little less bombastic, then upon entering, where soft colors, tight fit and finish and soft textures of the MKT give one of the best rendered interiors of Ford

The love affair with the Swinging Sixties inspired completes the look. The handling characteristics of the MCT are far apart and the development of more than Continental. The base 3.7-liter V-6 is not bad or good, it is simply indifferent to how it gathers speed, especially if it is with the extra couple of hundred pounds loaded all-wheel drive. Bring to the same engine and turbo EcoBoost MKT on the run, with an explosion of torque and a pair of paddles for the six-speed automatic transmission that you encourage some stupid things with the more than 5000 pounds MKT. It can be really, how EcoBoost words - and if they do not weigh as much, or sitting so long the treatment would come as a better position. The fuel consumption is not strength, but - it is as low as 16/22 mpg with the turbo versions.

Huge, the MKT-classic interior space for six or seven passengers and even three adults in the second row is a little air between them, something that can not be said to be finding a Boeing 757. The six-seater version, the second row bench into two buckets as comfortable positions as at the door - and with a refrigerator between them for all kinds of drinks, for adults or not concealed. The third row of seats is almost big enough to hold for adults, too, but it is primarily intended for children, or can be folded.

If the seats are folded down, the MKT has more than 75 cubic meters of cargo space, well below that of the Buick Enclave, but compete with the Acura MDX and Audi Q7. There is still a large room, and easier to achieve with the MCT power-folding second and third row seats. The MKT is good for the safety of the IIHS, which calls it a Top Safety Pick out, but the NHTSA has not again, it achieved a four-star rollover resistance rating, under the new criteria. But the MKT is equipped with standard curtain airbags and stability control and parking sensors, blind spot monitor and a rearview camera.

Other features in the standard equipment, including a large fixed sunroof, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry pad in hidden bundled with pushbutton start MyKey, the driver has safety features such as radio volume and maximum speed, and SYNC, Ford Bluetooth voice-driven controller for audio, telephone and navigation systems. Price from $ 40,000 in the mid range, the MKT not a cheap family utility vehicle. This type of distinction has its price, and for about 55,000 dollars per MKT EcoBoost walk, there is a remarkable artist, who will stand safely out - for the better, we think - in the crossover audience.
