Overview

The 2013 Lincoln MKX is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Audi Q5 3.0T, the Volvo XC60 T6, and the BMW X3 xDrive35i. Offered in a sole trim level, the 2013 Lincoln MKX SUV starts off at a base price of MSRP $39,575. Its 3.7L V6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.3 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Lincoln MKX SUV manages to get a combined EPA rating of 22 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 7.9 inches.

Buying Advice

There is only one trim option for the MKX, which is well equipped. In order to get more features, you'll need to look at the Limited Edition package or the Equipment Group 102A. We although recommend settling with the optional AWD for a better driving experience.
