Some people don’t like change, except when such changes are for the better. Take the 2017 Lincoln MKX, for instance: while its predecessor might have been a little lacklustre compared to its competitors, the 2017 Lincoln MKX has risen through the ranks and can now proudly stand toe-to-toe with the class leaders. With its refined driving experience, make sure that you don’t miss out on the chance to own this new class leader by visiting a Lincoln dealership near Baton Rouge.
Luxury Cabin Experience
As with most offerings from Lincoln, the 2017 MKX is available in four trim levels. These trims start with the base level Premiere, and then move up to the slightly upgraded Select, the further upgraded Reserve and finally end with the fully-loaded Black label.
Don’t be fooled into thinking that the Premiere trim level will be very sparse and basic with the luxury reserved for the Black Label model. The Premiere comes with more than enough to make your journey quiet and luxurious. To make your driving experience as quiet and peaceful as possible, Lincoln have included their Active Noise Control.
The Lincoln MKX also comes with rear privacy glass, dual-zone climate control and eight-way heated power front seats for your added comfort. To further enhance the cabin experience, the standard model comes with a driver configurable instrument cluster, a rear-view camera and Lincoln’s Sync 3 media system that is accessed through an 8-inch touchscreen display and enjoyed through a 10-speaker system.
Choices Galore
The Premiere trim might sound impressive, but when you look at the upgraded trim models, you will see just how luxurious the Lincoln MKX can become. The Select trim comes with the same features as the Premiere but adds things like LED daytime running lights, adaptive suspension dampers, a hands-free power liftgate as standard.
It also allows you to add packages such as the Select Plus package which includes a navigation system, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts. All this adds up to make you feel confident and safe during your drive, while you enjoy the comfort and quiet of the cabin.
The Reserve trim adds everything from the Select model but swaps out the 18-inch alloys for huge 20-inch ones, adds adaptive headlights and a panoramic sunroof and gives you the ability to control the Lincoln MKX from your smartphone.
The Black Label goes even further and builds upon the Reserve with unique 20-inch wheels, a 19-speaker Revel Ultima surround sound system and gives you access to Lincoln’s Black Label programme. Optional extras for the Reserve and Black Label trims include things like the technical package which would add 360-degree cameras, giving you the ability to use automated parallel parking.
As you can see, the Lincoln MKX comes packed with interior comforts, even if you go for the base trim. However, if you like your car loaded with great features then there is so much to choose from you will be spoilt for choice. To take full advantage of the Lincoln MKX, enjoy a test drive at a Lincoln dealership near Baton Rouge.
