Lincoln MKS
New technologies on the Lincoln MKS and MKT deliver more power, better fuel economy and an even more engaging driving experience, giving full-size luxury sedan and crossover customers fresh reasons to consider Lincoln’s newest vehicles.
“If you want to see the future of Lincoln, take a look at the exciting new Lincoln MKZ Concept,” said Scott Tobin, director, Lincoln Product Development. “If you want to drive the future of Lincoln, there’s the new MKS and MKT coming this spring. They signal the direction Lincoln is heading when it comes to delivering a refined and engaging driving experience.”
Newly crafted interior of the 2013 Lincoln MKS features an all-new instrument panel, MyLincoln Touch™ and rich new color schemes crafted with new premium materials and genuine stitching.
Lincoln MKS Highlights
In addition to a significantly updated exterior and interior (click here for information covering the new MKS), the new MKS stands out among luxury-class choices because:
- Lincoln Drive Control is an automatic system that delivers an ideal balance of a smooth ride with confident handling as it intuitively responds to the driver’s commands and the road itself
- Additionally, Lincoln Drive Control enables drivers to purposefully change the on-road personality of the MKS. Moving the gear selector from Drive to Sport automatically shifts handling performance, ride firmness, throttle response, shift schedule, steering response and traction control/electronic stability control parameters. Drivers can further personalize the Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD) suspension settings, including selecting the smoother-riding Comfort setting, using MyLincoln Touch™
- Lincoln MKS is the only car in its segment to offer Continuously Controlled Damping as standard equipment. By monitoring suspension settings up to 500 times per second, the real-time system adjusts the suspension 20 times per second to deliver more controlled handling with a smoother ride
- The standard 3.7-liter V6 engine delivers more projected horsepower (300 horsepower versus 274 horsepower) and is coupled with improved fuel economy – projected 19 mpg city/28 mpg highway, a 3-mpg highway improvement versus today’s car. The optional EcoBoost™ 3.5-liter V6 also produces more horsepower, 365 vs. 355
- Collision warning, new Lane Keeping Alert and new Lane Keeping Aid technologies help warn drivers of potentially dangerous situations and can help them avoid common accidents
- Expanded SYNC® functionality now includes standard Operator Assist and local Wi-Fi® hotspot capabilities for laptops and tablets
