Overview

Competing in the midsize wagon, the 2017 Lincoln MKT Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Ford Flex Limited Wagon. Meanwhile, the Audi Q7 and the Buick Enclave are potential rivals from the midsize SUV segment. Spread across 2 trims, the MKT starts off at a base price of MSRP of $43,530 and carries on to $49,025. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 3.7L V6 engine rated for 303 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the MKT gives you a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 pounds. A more powerful 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 engine is also offered, with an output of 365 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines.

Buying Advice

We recommend upgrading to the upper trim that comes with the twin-turbo engine as its performance is far better than the base trim with the 3.7L V6 engine. It has all the features of the base trim plus adaptive suspension dampers. Furthermore, unlike the base trim which comes with a front-wheel drive, the upper EcoBoost trim has an all-wheel drive system.
