About the MKT
The full-size 3-row luxury crossover SUV, the Lincoln MKT was created in a single generation running from the 2010 model year until its discontinuation in 2019. Unlike many other models in the Lincoln lineup, the MKT had no direct predecessor, although its arrival did coincide with the removal of the Mercury Mountaineer SUV from that lineup, with some seeing the MKT as an evolution of that model.
The MKT started life as a concept vehicle first unveiled at the American International Auto Show in Detroit back in 2008. Notable features of the concept included a full-length glass roof and a 2+2 seating layout, not the “done thing” at the time.
The first production models arrived in 2010, using the 3.7L V6 engine from the sixth-generation Ford Taurus as its standard powertrain. Initially, this engine could produce up to 268-hp, but was cranked up to 303-hp in 2013. On top of this standard offering was a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with 3.5L displacement that delivered up to 355-hp initially, going up to 365-hp in the 2013 update.
Interestingly the MKT didn’t have distinct trim levels for most of its lifespan. From 2010 to 2016 it was sold according to its engine variant. That changed in 2017 when the base-level Premiere model was introduced, with the augmented Reserve model as the upgraded higher-end version.
One other very special version of the MKT was the Town Car livery variant, used as both a limousine and as a hearse. These specifications were not sold through regular commercial channels, and had to be requisitioned specially through Lincoln.
Sales for the MKT were generally fairly low, peaking at 7,435 units in 2010, making it one of the less successful offerings in the Lincoln lineup. Even the latest models in 2019 were receiving fairly poor reviews due to their dated cabin design and unappealing exterior. The on-road handling and ride quality, on the other hand, were generally praised as their redeeming qualities.
