2014 Lincoln MKT 4dr Wagon AWD w/EcoBoost (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

We replaced our aging MB R320 with the MKT. We checked competing vehicles but the Lincoln was the best value. The ride is good except on harsh roads, due to the optional 20" wheels. We are having no problems with Lincoln Sync and find it easy to use. The car is extremely quiet even compared to the MB. Handling is sharp, unlike the numb MB. The dual turbo do their job nicely. Gas mileage is as advertised so far. More foot room should be provided for the driver, the only real flaw so far. The safety features like blind spot warning and adaptive cruise control work great. Lane drift warning is annoying and I shut it off. I would not hesitate to recommend this car.

My car is cool, classy and it stands out amongst the other boring looking SUVs. I leased my 2013 MKT and my lease is up soon. I'm thinking about buying another one. I've been researching and test driving other SUVs and none of them compare. I tested the enclave, MDX, qx60 and none of them have the excitement behind the wheel as the MKT. I tend to drive pretty swiftly and I love the powerful ecoboost engine. If I need to pass another driver I can do it with great confidence. I also love that I have the benefits of a minivan without actually having to drive a minivan.... I'm too cool for that! My husband loves my car too and agrees that buying one when my lease is up is best. LINCOLN PLEASE DONT STOP MAKING THE MKT!!!!! Lincoln hmade a classyclassy SUV that out performs any other SUV on the road in this price range!

Never own a car that I enjoyed more. I have owned Cadillac's for over the last 30 years. I use to trade every two years. I have complaints of Cadillac's , but this Lincoln rides the best of any car I have every owned.

An unappreciated value

While the platform is aging, the MKT is a unsung value in the luxury crossover space. Some car reviewers dislike the exterior styling, but I love it. Unlike most SUV/CUV designs today, the MKT is long, sleek with a bit lower height profile than most. Makes it more like a big station wagon than a truck like SUV. After four years, the MKT has been exceptionally reliable and the Lincoln dealer is awesome - great support, service and design. Power and interior pace is plentiful and has some really great features (e.g. rear bucket seat with heating and cooling, rear fridge, automated parking assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and more). Oddly, however, it lacks front parking sensors(?!). Other cons are that as with the older platform, the ride quality is not best-in-class.

2016 Lincoln MKT 4dr Wagon AWD w/EcoBoost (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)
14 of 14 people found this review helpful
THIIISSSS is a 2016 Lincoln MKT. I've had this vehicle for about 6 months now and feel I can offer a fairly comprehensive review. My model is a 7 passenger EcoBoost with the Elite and Technology packages and 20 inch wheels. First, those wheels - they look great but give you less rubber between you and the road, somewhat defeating the purpose of the 3 suspension modes. It isn't a rough riding vehicle by any means, but the 19 wheels (which are kind of ugly) likely give a better ride. The MKT is very comfortable, the seats are well padded and covered in very nice leather. The power adjustable seats, pedals, and steering wheel guarantee virtually everyone will sit comfortably. I updated the Sync 3 system to the newest version to allow Apple CarPlay functionality which is a must, in my opinion. The Sync system is ok, but feels somewhat outdated. The controls - there are no physical buttons for the heated/cooled seats or heated steering wheel. This isn't a huge deal, but is a minor irritation to always have to cycle through 3 or 4 screens to get to seat/wheel controls. The tri-zone climate control (with rear seat controls) is a nice feature for the family. One minor complaint about the heated steering wheel is that it doesn't heat the top wood grain covered portion. Not a big deal, but heated all over would be better. The adaptive cruise control system works well, however it doesn't work below 12 mph, so keep that in mind. The power up/down third row is phenomenal and gives access to solid cargo room with the seats down. The second row of seating offers very generous leg and head room. Third row access is fairly easy with the one touch button that tumbles the second row seats forward. However, once in the third row you'll find that due to the sloping roof line you won't be able to sit with your hid upright unless you're under about 5' 3", a massive point against the MKT. One of the biggest plusses in favor of the MKT is the power. the twin turbo V6 provides more power than virtually any other vehicle in its class and easily moves the hefty MKT quickly whenever called upon. Handling is good for a vehicle of its size, however maneuverability in tight spots is fairly poor due to the length of this vehicle. Speaking of, if you have a smaller garage, the MKT may not fit. I'm not kidding, it fits in my garage (barely), but doesn't fit in the garages of several friends and family, so take some measurements first. Overall, the 2016 MKT is a great vehicle for the family, although the third row is not as practical as one would hope. You get good technology, comfort, quietness, and power in a polarizing, but in my opinion, beautiful package. And, for better or worse, it doesn't look like every other three row SUV. If you want to stand out a little, have understated power, a comfortable, quiet ride with decent modern tech the MKT is a great option.

We've had our MKT for over a year now, and it keeps exceeding our expectations. Room, comfort, power and even amazing agility for such a big rig. Begs to be taken on long road trips. It can be so comfortable that you forget how long you've been driving (so it warns you that it's time for a break!). The electronic helpers are very effective. The adaptive cruise is amazing and makes me wish all our cars had it. The lane departure system is equally predictable and useful. The styling is often characterized as "polarizing", and I don't really see what's so controversial about it. I think it's very long, low, elegant and even a touch menacing. The low center of gravity helps handling.
2nd MKT and still love it

I compared this to other similar brands and kept telling myself that my MKT had this or that but this brand doesn't but I can live without it. (Space, refrigerator, adaptive cruise, ride, fuel economy, etc. etc.) Eventually I decided I can have everything I want at a good price, so I bought the MKT again........

The car itself is a great machine. Very fast acceleration and its comfortable. Its pretty good in gas, and pretty fast. Rides 7 of us and has done a lot of traveling. Although the car is great and looks amazing in and out, the maintaince is horrible. The pieces are off this land, and everything is soooo expensive. I think a highlander would've been cheaper and maybe just as nice.

Needed seven passenger seating and did not want a minivan. Pros fast, handled better than a truck based SUVs that we test drove Q7,gx460, q56. J35 handled better but seemed underpowered. Good tradeoff between ride and handling. A little tin can feel but not nearly as tin sounding as the edge. Bad gas Mileage ECO boost in name only. Few mechanical issues with power seats. Third row head clearnce under 5 feet, leg room plenty. Good utility except for third row leg room.

Comfortable , roomy, quiet and powerful enough when needed with the Ecoboost. I left a Ford Flex for it, so the styling is not an issue for me. Actually, I like both. Save for what follows, I like the car. What concerns and disapoints me are known issues shared by many owners on internet forums that leads me to conclude that they are flawed design. 1- the light cluster that covers the width of the tailgate is known to take water and mess with the electrical of your lights and back-up camera. You have to change the whole cluster. 2100$CDN ! It does not include the camera (500$) 2-the climate control will on its own act up and go to high. You have to change the whole electronic panel behind the controls (600$). These prices do not include labour. Lincoln does not recognizes any of these problems past the warranty and offers no good-will program or help. I have experienced all three problems between 80 to 85,000 miles in the last few months. For the record, I was able to source only one used light cluster. Once there....it had taken water also ! Bottom line: for a so-called luxury brand, Lincoln is not offering much support to its customers on well documented repeated MKT failures. Fortunately, I have not experienced so far another known flaw that I noticed when researching mine : « explosion » of the moonroof. I was looking at the Aviator for next year before all that. Not anymore. They lost me.

Was initially looking at Land Rover RR Sport. But while that was a better car (amazing handling and style) the MKT was an elegant and less expensive alternative. Packed with technology (adaptive cruise, cooled seats front/rear) and I really like the style - it's elegant and stands out (not sure why critics don't like styling). Some elements reveal that the platform is based on a family car (e.g. old fashioned foot operated parking brake, no front parking sensors even on top level model). Great power with 365 hp V6 and interior style with two rows of bucket seat is great.

I have no regrets with this vehicle for this is a Lincoln and which possesses the heritage of the brand, but creativity of the 21 Century thinking. I love the leather cabin and out of box styling, it like a plane flight on the ground. This MKT Lincoln has steering shifters with this semi-manual/full automatic feature, it's wonderful... when you need the burst of performance when passing in traffic. So far as it styling , The 1939's attributes are pure American, not Japanese or Chinese as many lost souls love to follow; MKT styling is attributed to pure USA motoring of 1930 's. Note the prominent split ventilating front grill design and wagon/caboose liftgate - pure American. Everywhere I go, work, church or play this crossover turns heads, the complement has not stop. I am LMC fan and my next vehicle will the SVC by Lincoln. I am supporter of the Ford Motor Company,I know this is a bad word among those that swear their life upon anything other than American cars, trucks or SUV's, but If you don't stand for American, you'll stand for anything.

I've had this car for 10 years now. I drive it every day and it still looks NEW! It has 127000 miles on it and it still has the original brakes! Every time I get the oil changed I have them check the brakes because they must be worn out by now, but they are still way inside the safe range. I recently moved from Florida to a cold weather state and I don't think the heat works the way it should, but the dealership said it does. Not one mechanical issue in 8 years. It's on its 3rd battery. They only last 3 years. I really love my car. update: had the heater coil flushed and heat works great now.

This car had only 66,000 when I sold it and numerous repairs under the extended warranty which shouldn't have happened. It required a new steering gear, 3 control arm replacements, rear seal replacement, adaptive cruise control replacement and numerous rattles. It rides very hard on rougher roads which there are plenty of in Michigan. The driver armrest stitching came apart and they wouldn't replace it. The front seats are not comfortable as there is a platform directly under your feet that does not allow you to place your feet flat on the floor. The performance is good on acceleration and it is a smooth ride on good roads and quiet, but any kind of rough road, it just throws you around. Residual value is not good, so it is expensive to own. Lots of room for storage.

2013 LINCOLN MKT LEAKING ANTIFREEZE AT 59000 MILES

I purchase a 2013 Lincoln MKT, and it's a big mistake i made. the biggest problem I had with this car is the (water pump). at 59000 miles the water pump is leaking antifreeze and after takeing it to the FORD dealer they told me it's the water pump. that need to be replace. and it's cover under the warranty but it will take them a week to get the job don. and will code me one hundred dollars. plus I am having problem with the wipers. when I turn it off it still work I have to play with the switch before the wiper blade stop working. few months ago the seal for the transmission was leaking oil. the seal was replace free of charge under the warranty but cost me time.

This is a great car for American roads. My MKT has every option available. I bought it six months ago with 23,000 miles and have put 10,000 miles on it since (two cross-country trips). My two previous cars were a Jaguar XJR and Genesis G80. The MKT handles nearly as well as the Jaguar (at speed through mountain passes) with nearly the same power, except I have my fat tire bike and golf clubs in the back and my drift boat trailing behind. It's as quiet as the Genesis and has an even better sound system. Driving ten-hour days across the country was a very comfortable pleasure. It's the best long distance car I've ever owned. It tracks beautifully down the road. It will torque-steer to the right under hard acceleration, but it is predictable and easy to correct. No reliability problems at all. If you like the looks (I do), you'll love this car.

People come up to us and say how much they like the quality look of our car. People think it must be very expensive since they never see one. In 45,000 miles it has been to the shop once to fix the sunroof which was under warranty. One new battery and a set of tires. We have the Turbo and it is very quick. Great car!!

Very comfortable car with adequate space in cargo area. The Ecoboost V6 is just outstanding, tremendous passing power. 22.5 mpg on road at a steady 75-80 mpg. Third Row seats are a joke as they are in other vehicles with similar setup. Residual value is poor but I always get top $$ when I sell a car as they always have low mileage and look 'new'
Love it!

Clearly the best car I’ve ever owned. Too bad they are no longer made so a good used one is worth getting. I’ve had 5 Navigators as well. A BMW X5, a Mercedes, etc and the MKT is by far the best of the bunch. I'm still driving it at 103K miles and not a single, significant issue.

I am very disappointed with this car. It is my fault I bought it however . It is very uncomfortable on long trips as it is too narrow. The two zone comfort system is a fake; as there is only one fan. Thus the zone with the greatest different controls the fan. The safety system is silly; it beeps and you get a message on the screen telling to look around. Plus it has lots of other poor design choices. When the wind blows it will whistle, also when someone pass you when the wind blowing it will whistle
Very reliable and dependable car.

This has been a great car. I have 109,000 miles on it. The adaptive cruise control is terrific. Very reliable and accurate. Only drawback is that it cuts out at 15 mph. Automatic high beams are a very big plus. Remote start works very well. That's how I discovered it has a heated steering wheel. Very nice touch. Don't need gloves. I love the style and storage area. With back seats down there's plenty of room to carry things. Back seats are heated and AC as well. One other drawback is that the side mirrors don't fold in automatically when ignition is turned off. I did have minor issues with alloy wheels. One leaked and occasionally it'll develop a beed leak. Zero mechanical problems at 109,000 miles. Everything still works normally. I had a 2010 MKT and the twins turbochargers went at 129,000. That's when I bought the 2014. I am sad that Lincoln stopped making them,

I specifically bought my 2018 because it had everything. I looked for a year for the right model and color combo, and hands down it’s been the best car I’ve ever owned. Reliable, easy maintenance, fun to drive because of the engine and turbos (and it handles surprisingly well), and I was rear ended twice in it with zero injuries. 10/10 will buy another one. Will hold a driver, four teens, and four 70lb dogs all at the same time if needed.
