Lincoln MKX
Lincoln MKX
Besides a new, more flowing design with Lincoln's signature "bow wave" grill, the MKX crossover gets a new 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine. The most important improvements are on the inside, however. The new MKX's much-improved interior is more fitting for a luxury brand. Also, this SUV offers Ford's first use of the MyLincoln Touch interface technology. (It will also be sold as MyFord Touch and MyMercury Touch.)

The system is a maxed-out form of Ford's popular Sync software that drivers can use to operate their mobile phones, music players and various car functions and features using voice commands or a simple touch-sensitive computer interface. The system is designed to keep the driver's hands on the wheels and eyes on the road.

The MKX will be quieter than competing crossovers from Lexus and Audi, Ford boasts, while being more enjoyable than today's MKX. Besides the new engine, which you'll also find under the hood of the new Mustang, the MKX will have a manually shiftable six-speed automatic transmission.
