2008 Lincoln MKX Features Review

FEATURES | 9 out of 10

A reverse-sensing system to make parallel parking easier

The 2008 Lincoln MKX keeps things simple with its one trim level, but it does offer some of the more typical luxury-vehicle options.

The standard features list on the Lincoln MKX is quite long, and Kelley Blue Book refers to the Lincoln MKX as "nicely-equipped." Edmunds claims that the Lincoln MKX 2008 "comes with more standard features than its pricier competitors," highlighted by "Ford's impressive new Sync system," which "allows for drivers to control communication and entertainment devices...via voice commands," and a "reverse parking system." While many reviews read by TheCarConnection.com loved the standard loadout of the Lincoln MKX 2008, reviewers at Cars.com find that there are "substantial oversights," most notably the lack of "xenon headlights, rearview cameras and cargo covers."

For those looking for optional equipment, the 2008 Lincoln MKX does offer what Autoblog calls a "superb" touch-screen navigation system and an upgraded 14-speaker THX-certified audio system that leaves those at Autoblog "very impressed" with the acoustics aboard the Lincoln MKX 2008.

Conclusion

Cool standard features abound on the 2008 Lincoln MKX, and the option to take this car even more upscale is there, but the lack of a rearview camera like that on the Lexus RX 350 is disappointing.

Other Choices:

Dynamically, the Acura MDX is a better-handling vehicle than the 2008 Lincoln MKX, as is the rear-wheel-drive Cadillac SRX. If you put a high value on performance, the SRX and BMW X5 offer optional V-8 engines.

    Best on the market!

    I had been shopping for a new Luxury crossover for months. I looked and drove all of the usual suspects and consider myself a car nut. I almost didn't even consider the Lincoln MKX. I am glad I did. I read all of the reviews and opinions out there and figured it was worth a look. My wife loves the look of it. I was very impressed with the interior both in sytle and room. We take a lot of trips with the kids (they are nearly grown) and they have a ton of room the back seat. The rear seats recline really far compared to most in the class. The Sync system is awsome. I can see Sync as one of those can't live without it features. The MKX does everything well, and somethings great. I could not find anything that seemed just okay. I can't wait to pick it up on friday.
