Overview

The 2016 Lincoln MKT Wagon is a midsize wagon offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $43,370. For that price, it mainly competes with the Ford Flex Wagon. However, if you don't need the extra third row, you can consider other prominent competitors like the BMW 3 Series Wagon and the Volvo V60 Wagon. Between two trims the MKT offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.7L V6 capable of making 303 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 365 horsepower-making 3.5L turbocharged V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The MKT reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.0 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.5 seconds with the turbocharged V6. Depending on the powertrain, the MKT can manage a combined fuel economy between 17 and 19 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the MKT comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Lincoln MKT Wagon is a spacious and comfy wagon offered in two trims. We recommend getting the EcoBoost trim with the stronger powertrain under the hood. Also, there are some packages and options on offer. We suggest considering the Technology Package to which loads it with adaptive cruise control & forward collision warning with brake support, active park assist, and lane-keeping system with driver alert system.
