Overview

Competing in the midsize wagon the 2013 Lincoln MKT goes up against other notable names in the midsize SUV class, like the Acura MDX, the Buick Enclave, and the Infiniti QX60 since there are no direct competitors. Spread across 2 trims, the MKT starts off at a base price of MSRP of $45,285 and carries on to $47,280. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. Starting off is the 3.7L V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission base engine. Making 303 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque, this engine makes the MKT capable of accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds and carries the capability to tow 2,000 pounds. One can also opt for a turbocharged 3.5L V6 engine that is paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission. With 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, this engine gets you a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.

Buying Advice

Lincoln MKT comes with two trims to choose from, out of which, we believe the top-tier EcoBoost trim with a 3.5L turbocharged V6 engine seems like the best choice here. Apart from the powerful engine, it also adds all-wheel drive, three driver-selectable modes, and adaptive suspension dampers.
