Lincoln MKT: a luxurious seven-seater crossover, V6 and EcoBoost
Lincoln MKT — a large luxury crossover with three rows of seats, produced from 2010 to 2019. It's rare in Lithuania, usually imported from the USA. In this article, we review the engines, updates, and what to check before buying.
MKT in brief
The MKT shares the same platform as the Ford Flex but boasts a more luxurious interior, distinctive styling, and more comfort features. Thanks to its long wheelbase and flat shape, it offers plenty of space for passengers.
The MKT was never officially sold in Europe. Longer, limousine-type versions are often found, used as chauffeur-driven vehicles.
Which version to choose
The car was updated around 2013 — the front design, headlights, and some interior details were changed. Updated versions look more modern and often come with richer equipment.
Before buying, decide if you need all-wheel drive and which engine version. If the car was previously used as a limousine or taxi, check for wear and tear.
Engines and transmissions
The most common engine is the 3.7-litre V6 (around 270 hp). The more powerful version is the 3.5-litre V6 EcoBoost with twin turbochargers (around 365 hp), always with all-wheel drive.
The transmission is a six-speed automatic. Due to the car's large size, fuel consumption is quite high.
What to check when buying a used MKT
It's essential to check the VIN and the car's history through US databases — accidents, theft, write-off status. Inspect all the wheels, the cooling system, and the turbochargers (in EcoBoost versions).
Test the electronics: the infotainment screen, sensors, electric seats, and air conditioning. Check the seat folding mechanism.
Finding parts and service might be trickier than for popular European models, so do your homework in advance.
