The 2009 Lincoln MKX offers the expected list of features for a car of this class—that is, a very long one.

Edmunds claims that the Lincoln MKX 2009 "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." For 2009, the SYNC system adds a Vehicle Health Report and 911 Assist. Kelley Blue Book refers to the Lincoln MKX as "nicely-equipped."

While many reviews read by TheCarConnection.com gush over the standard list of features in the Lincoln MKX 2009, reviewers at Cars.com find "substantial oversights," most notably the lack of "xenon headlights, rearview cameras and cargo covers." New for 2009 are Sirius Travel Link, a standard power liftgate, a universal garage-door opener, and cargo hooks.

For those looking for optional equipment, the 2009 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 2009. New for 2009 is an Ultimate Package that includes many popular features.

Conclusion

The 2009 Lincoln MKX packs plenty throughout—although a few items are lacking from the standard features list.

Other Choices:

The Lexus RX 350 is the bogie for Lincoln, but the RX isn’t that engaging to drive and can be tough to find in crowded mall parking lots. The 2009 Lincoln MKX is more engaging to drive, but it can't match the level of refinement achieved by the RX 350. Dynamically, the Acura MDX is a better-handling vehicle than the 2009 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.

    The 2009 Lincoln MKS is a star when it comes to in-cabin entertainment and information sources, especially at its price. But you will have to be content with a comfortable, rather than sporty, ride.
