Give American made a chance, like we did.

We are very happy with our 2016 MKX Black Label, former Lexus/Acura owners of many years. Test drove Infiniti's(multiple SUV's), Lexus RX, Acura MDX ... RDX, Mercedes GLK and GLE...also Audi Q5. We then decided to check out the 2016 Lincoln MKX. All the previously mentioned vehicle's are very nice but found the MKX much quieter, a joy to drive and the REVEL sound system may be better then the Mark Levinson sound system found in the RX. The REVEL blew my mind at the pure sound. We were also very pleased with the softer ride and rarely any engine noise which were very noticeable in the RX, Mercedes and most especially the Infinit (QX50, JX60 and the small Infiniti SUV). The MKX is the most wonderful ride we have ever experienced. I rarely hear any rode noise or the sound of vehicle right next to us...due to the noise cancellation found thru-out the MKX. The seats in the Black Label are 22 way both driver and passenger side. The head room is great. My husband is 6'7" and this and the Mercedes were the roomiest and most comfortable for him. The back seat is quite roomy as is the cargo area. We have the new SYNC 3 which is very easy to operate and I find it easy to figure out and operate. My only complaint is the gas mileage which is normal for an SUV of almost 4500 lbs(18 miles to the gallon our tech informed us). I am a former owner of the Lexus GS sedan(10 years) and there is quite a difference in gas usage. This vehicle is pure joy to drive. We find ourselves wanting to use it on weekends now versus my husband's truck.

ALL prior model drawback have gone away!!!!

By Bob written on 12-24-2015

This one has all of the technology available on all luxury SUZ on the market at far less price. The quality is excellent. All of the drawbacks of the prior version have been fixed.. Now has much smoother ride, better steering/handling, update look, comfortable drivers seat and steering wheel positions and adjustments. 360 degrees cameras, collision alerts, blind spot alerts, cross traffic alerts and adaptable cruise control are all musts in my judgment. And for those who like "toys", the ambient interior lighting choices are a fun thing. I have never like a vehicle as much. Seeing is believing....LOL, I sound like a Lincoln salesmen, but the car is just that good!!!!

I would not buy this car...it is unreliable

By Michelle written on 06-24-2016

This care is so comfortable and drives fantastic... BUT do not let them sell you on the My Touch navigation system. They are moving all this year to Sync 3 which is great but are still selling early 2016 models with My Touch - It is frustrating, slow and will leave you stranded. I had a loaner with the Sync 3 and it was night and day. I love this car but I bet I will get rid of it within 3 years due to the navigation system....It takes forever to compute and randomly the keyboard just disappears. I have taken it in and they can't do anything about it... I would recommend this car to anyone as long as you don't get suckered into the old nav system. I do have to say that the service folks and Gwinnett Lincoln have been a pleasure to deal with. I do wish the Lincoln dealership/Service was completely separate from Ford due to it is very busy but the staff does go above and beyond. 12/26/16 updated review - the car has been in the shop 7 time in less than 9K mile for various forms of issues. Twice for throttle rod where the car just dies in traffic and then will only go 5 mph which is extremely dangerous in ATL traffic. The computer is this car is buggy - errors show up on the dash and I take pics with my cell and then Lincoln can not replicate it. The lift gate sensors are unpredictable and come down on you for no reason. I would never purchase this car again due to the computer system...It is great when it wants to work. The navigation system still blacks out for no reason. It still drives like a dream and is very comfortable, I love all the cameras to park, back up etc. The other think I absolutely hate is since I spend so much time at the Lincoln service center is that it is also mixed with the Gwinnett ford dealership and therefore it is always chaotic. If you want to buy a luxury car then my advice is to avoid this car and also go with someone that has a stand alone dealership and is has a longer time in the marketplace - Maybe 2017 they will get the bugs worked out. I did not pay 50K plus for a car that I have to drive 45 min each way to the dealership every other week to drive a loaner.

My MKX Reserve Rocks!

By hrbaltd@me.com written on 12-30-2015

Picked up my 2016 MKX Reserve last week and all I can say is WOWEE!! Lincoln hit it out of the park with this vehicle. My MKX Reserve is a blast to drive. It is very fast (2.7 twin turbo option) and nimble (in sport mode). The vehicle is also a show stopper! I ordered the 21" tires and optional rims and it is a striking look. The optional massaging seats makes any long drive a pleasure. Be sure to order this option. It is worth every penny. The vehicle is super quiet but in sport mode, you can hear the exhaust kick in when you punch it. People that have ridden in the vehicle with me comment on how quiet the ride is. The vehicle is great in the snow! The build quality is phenomenal! The fit and finish is first rate. Ignore any comments to the contrary that you made read online. They are not accurate. Just listen to the doors when you close them. Solid build quality. I road tested a 2016 BMW X3 M with twin turbos, Porsche Cayenne S, Mercedes Benz GLE 350, Acura MDX and the based on road tests and pricing, the Lincoln wins hands down. My personal favorite was the Porsche Cayenne S. However, with similar options to the Lincoln, I was looking at 90k. I custom ordered the MKX from the factory with the options I wanted and the Lincoln dealer discounted the MSRP by 10% which you won't find on the BMW, Porsche, or Mercedes Benz. There were also additional rebates available from the manufacturer. The Revel sound system (basic Revel upgrade, not the 4k upgrade) is phenomenal and better than my prior Bose system. I am averaging 29 mph on the highway and 23 overall with 800 miles on the odometer. Did I mention how fast this vehicle is? Zoom Zoom. I never would have even considered a Lincoln till I read a review on Edmunds so I decided to take it for a test drive. Boy, am I glad I did. Note that the vehicle came from the factory with the Sync 3 system. There are a lot of complaints in reviews I read online since the MKXs that were test driven had the old SYNC system. The new Sync 3 system is quick, intuitive, easy to use, and offers unbelievable possibilities. The vehicle is synced to the Wi Fi at my house and downloads app updates when it is parked at night! I can also access SIRI through the hands free feature and have her read and reply to my texts! If you are looking at any of the high end imports, I strongly recommend that you test drive an MKX Reserve with the 2.7 twin turbos. You will not be disappointed.

X Marks the Spot

By carled63 written on 07-03-2016

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.
