Introduction
Originally introduced in 2007 as a replacement for the Lincoln Aviator, the Lincoln MKX is a midsize, 5-passenger crossover sport utility vehicle (CUV). Built on a Ford-family unibody platform, the MKX is closely related to the Ford Edge. The debut of the MKX marked a significant change in direction from the Lincoln Aviator—itself based on the Ford Explorer. The MKX was smaller and more car-like, compared to the larger 7-passenger truck-oriented Aviator.

Just four years into its model cycle, Lincoln has treated the 2011 MKX to a significant refresh. The exterior and interior have been reworked, and the CUV is fitted with a new 6-cylinder engine that is more powerful and more fuel-efficient than the powerplant it replaces. Lincoln’s crossover also gains some new tech features for 2011.
