What's New for 2013

The 2013 Lincoln MKT receives a range of changes this year. The bottom V6 could be a bit additional powerful now and produces 300 horsepower. Inside, Lincoln has updated the design of the seats, gauges and steering wheel. The MyLincoln Touch interface has been updated and is now commonplace for all MKT trim levels. New features include inflatable rear-seat seatbelts, lane departure warning/assist, a heated steering wheel and customary adaptive suspension dampers for the EcoBoost model. Lincoln has also tinkered with optional features and package availability. Finally, the MKT receives a restyled grille and front fascia.

Introduction

Primarily based purely on pedigree, the 2013 Lincoln MKT would appear to be a show winner. It's primarily based on the Ford Flex, a large crossover wagon we have a tendency to adore for its utility, well-rounded performance and distinctive vogue. Breed in a bunch more high-end options and some luxurious style, and also the MKT should be even better, right? Well, it does not quite determine that manner.

There's still quite a small amount to like here. Many positive attributes shine through, as well as a confident driving angle, a refined ride, an out there 355-hp twin-turbocharged V6 engine and cutting-edge technology. The cabin, meanwhile, has been enhanced with high-quality leather, a elegant design and masses of material to deaden the road's abrasive soundtrack. Nor can you be left wanting for features. Even the base MKT comes loaded with convenience and luxury-oriented options, while choices include such uplevel picks as automated parallel-parking assist, heated and ventilated second-row seats and a lane-departure warning/aid system.

The major draw back is that the 2013 Lincoln MKT sacrifices practicality in the name of distinctive styling. The swept-back windshield and sloping rear glass scale back interior volume (as compared to the boxy Flex), meaning less house for passengers. Thankfully, the previously frustrating MyLincoln Touch electronic interface has been improved to make it considerably quicker and easier to operate.

Put up against alternative models like the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Buick Enclave, the MKT is not going to immediately stand out as best in show. However overall, there is plenty to love here, and we have a tendency to advocate taking a look at the MKT if you are shopping for a 3-row luxury crossover SUV.
