The LINCOLN MKX has been completely redesigned and technologically upgraded for 2011, marking the beginning of the second generation for the model. Dubbed the first ?button-less' interior, the 2011 LINCOLN MKX features the MyLincoln Touch interface, which eliminates tactile buttons and knobs in favor of a network of touch controls spread throughout the dashboard. For example, two shiny horizontal bars feature controls for volume and fan speed that are activated by sliding a finger across the bars. The entire system can be voice-activated and operates through an 8-inch LCD touch-screen. Two 4.2-inch LCD screens are also in the instrument cluster and are accessed by five-position toggles on the steering column. The screen on the left displays basic vehicle data while the screen on the right acts as a multi-media interface. All-new sheet metal from the A-pillar forward, plus a newly designed and reshaped rear gives the 2011 LINCOLN MKX a crisp look, accented by the newly adopted classic Lincoln 'dual-port' grille. The front fenders highlight the wheel arch while the rear sports tail lamps that are split, angular LED units instead of full-width. Inside, there are seven choices for ambient-lighting colors, featuring five different levels of intensity.

The Lincoln MKX enters 2010 with few changes. Pricing has increased by about $500.

The Lincoln MKX enters 2009 with few changes, base prices have increased by about $2,000.

The Lincoln MKX, a new crossover for 2007, enters 2008 with relatively few changes. On the outside, a driver's side electrochromic exterior mirror is now standard, and three colors have been added. Inside, the standards list now includes Sirius satellite radio, heated and cooled front seats, front power lumbar support, a reverse sensing system, new metallic interior accents, and a memory feature for the mirrors and the driver's seat. Ford's Sync communications and entertainment system is also new for 2008. A Limited Edition Package is new this year, and it includes 20-inch chrome wheels along with a host of other cosmetic enhancements.

The Lincoln MKX, which replaces the truck-based Aviator for 2007, is a completely new luxury utility vehicle, termed a crossover because it places an emphasis on carlike ride and handling and interior flexibility. The Lincoln MKX is based on the Ford Edge, and this same platform is also shared with the Mazda CX-9. An efficient 3.5L V6 powers the Lincoln MKX, which has an elegant, luxurious interior, increased attention to safety, and several innovative convenience options.
