Overview
The 2012 Lincoln MKS Sedan is a fullsize sedan offered as a standalone trim and carries a base MSRP of $41,500. For that price, it mainly competes with rivals with cheaper starting price tags such as the Chrysler 300 Sedan and the Toyota Avalon Sedan. That said, the MKS offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.7L V6 capable of making 273 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. However, an output boost of 2 horsepower and 6 lb-ft of torque is achieved when premium fuel is used. If more power is required, there is also a 355 horsepower-making 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The MKS reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.8 seconds with the 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the MKS can manage a combined fuel economy of between 19 and 20 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the MKS comes in really pull you towards itself.
