2016 Lincoln MKX Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (3.7L 6cyl 6A)

I love my 2016 Lincoln MKX Reserve. I looked a lot for a compact SUV that would have pedestrian alert and a 5-star IIHS safety rating. I also preferred one that had a lot of American content. I just could not find one that met my needs, and the ones that came closest--TBH--felt kind of cramped. I almost went with the MKC--a little concerned on size and very disappointed it did not have pedestrian alert. Then the salesman pointed out that the MKX had the 5-star rating with top-of-the-line pedestrian alert. In 5 minutes I decided to go for it, and I have not been disappointed! The car looks great--inside and out. I think the materials and look of the inside, in particular, are very high end. I also love driving the car; it is super quiet and smooth with very competent handling. I went with Reserve but skipped the Revel stereo, the 2.7 L turbo and the 22-position seats. Those all sound nice, but they add a lot to the price, and I am not that picky. I don't regret those choices. The premium (i.e., standard) stereo is fine. I did find that setting the option to adjust the volume with your speed helps a lot. I also think the 3.7 L base engine has plenty of power and is very smooth. Also, the standard seats are super comfortable with plenty of adjustments--recline, height, lumbar, thigh support, etc. I also like the extra space of the mid-size SUV vs. a compact. There are so many times I would cram stuff in the back of my last compact SUV, and I am finding it a surprising relief to have the extra space that a mid-size provides. Lincoln has also delighted me once or twice. For example, the cooled front seats are great on hot days. The power steering wheel adjustment made me smile too. And I enjoyed how simple the technology has been to set up. My car has Sync 3, and it is both easy to set up and is very intuitive to operate. My only slight disappointment is the gas mileage. It is more or less as advertised--and that is lower than with most compacts. That is the price you pay for space.

I have now been waiting for the 2023 model with the features I want and not successful in finding one yet. I understand that this is the last year for this model and am willing to wait until I can find the right one with the right features. I now have 115000 miles and have really not experienced any of the smaller electronic issues that I had previously. The engine still runs great, with plenty of acceleration when passing and still provides an extremely comfortable ride. I have been looking to purchase a new 2022 Nautilus but am having problems like so many others trying to find one of the color I want and with some of the features that we have really enjoyed. We really want another one with the active motion (message seats but have been told that that component was made in Ukraine and is currently not available. Hopefully, some of the logistical issues can be resolved soon and I can purchase or place an order for another one... I still am experiencing some small issues with some of the electronic components of the MKX that require continued service attention. They are not major issues and are done while getting regular routine service. I have had several problems with the heated seats and most recently my key less entry system that just went out for some reason. The dealership has finally solved the heated seats issue and I have to admit that I still absolutely love this vehicle. We just purchased an 2018 Audi A6 sedan for my wife and it was priced significantly higher that the Lincoln and doesn't have half of the safety features that the MKX has. The comfort and quietness of the cabin on the Lincoln is much more than that of the Audi. We currently average approximately 24 mpg while traveling the interstate and 19 mpg around town. I would still recommend that people check out the Lincoln and they may be pleasantly surprised. 2019.....Update...still loving the Lincoln MKX ....we traveled from the East coast to the West coast last winter and it continued to reinforce my previous ratings regarding comfort, performance and safety. It is my plans to consider purchasing another one in the near future.. 2021 update. Still enjoying the Lincoln experience overall. I still find the comfort, ride and safety features to be excellent especially when compared to my wife's 2018 Audi A6 sedan which I have now taken on several different road trips to get a comparison between the two vehicles. I have approximately 90000 miles on the MKX and other than new tires, it is still running good. I am still seriously considering purchasing another one this next year.

It has been 5 years since I posted the below review of my vehicle, and really nothing has change. It is still a beautiful, riding vehicle. I am definitely plan on make my next purchase with another Lincoln. I love the grill, which I think separates it from all other vehicles.

I have owned many new and used cars in my 50 years of driving. I have owned Lincoln town cars and you could not kill if you did regular maintenance. Since 1987 I have owned only SUVs and crossovers and the MKX is simply the best ever. All controls can be be done any of 3 ways; from steering wheal, voice, and by hand and all controls on the dash are very easy to reach. The only complaint I have is the back trunk cover its not easy to close and I can't seam to get the trunk open with my foot under the car my wife has some trouble. Over all the Best car I ever had.
