The 2016 Lincoln MKX has debuted this morning at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS 2015). The new MKX is based on the forthcoming 2016 Ford Edge platform, and is powered by an optional 2.7-L EcoBoost V-6 engine with more than 330 HP and 370 lb-ft of torque.

Standard on the new MKX is Ford’s naturally-aspirated 3.7-L V-6, which is projected to offer 300 HP and 280 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with push-button and select-shift technology. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional.
The 2016 Lincoln MKX features the industry’s first Revel-branded sound system. Powered by a 20-channel high-voltage hybrid amplifier and 19 speakers, the premium setup will be standard on the MKX “Black Label” trim, and available on the MKX “Reserve.” A 13-speaker Revel system is standard equipment on “Select” and “Reserve” trims.
Lincoln says the new MKX is available in four different trims including two “Black Label” editions, which are inspired respectively by the fashion, lifestyle and art scene of 1920s Paris and the excitement, passion and pageantry of high-stakes thoroughbred horse racing.
