Midsize luxury crossovers like the 2017 Lincoln MKX Select can offer compelling advantages for owners, starting with an unexpectedly imposing footprint: The MKX is a two-row entry that’s just two inches shorter than the three-row Lexus GX. They've done a nice job of differentiating the current MKX from the Ford Edge (something that hasn’t always been true of past generations), and the outcome has been significant sales growth since the all-new MKX was introduced last year.
Perhaps that growth can be attributed in part to Lincoln’s ongoing partnership with Academy Award winning actor, Matthew McConaughey, but the MKX brings plenty of star power itself with some of Lincoln’s most premium luxury and technological features. The brand claims that the MKX “introduces 'Quiet Luxury,' a new standard that combines thoughtful and elegant design with a safe, effortless ride and a warm, tailored experience.” Let's put that claim to the test.
