Lincoln Dealer Near LAfayette Carry The 2017 MKX

The 2017 Lincoln MKX has knocked all other SUVs in its class out of the water. The vehicle comes packed with new technology upgrades that make driving a cinch. On top of the new add-ons such as Auto-Hold as well as front seats that can be both heated and cooled, the new Adaptive functions of the car cater not only to the driver but to the road and weather conditions.

A Remarkable Performance

A great thing about the new Lincoln SUV is its ability to almost predict what the driver is about to do next, meaning the car is also able to continue functions that have been initiated by the driver.

For example, the Auto-Hold function kicks into play when the driver engages the brake pedal. Once the car has come to a complete stop, the driver can take their foot off the pedal and the car will continue to be stationary. Once the light changes or the driver is ready to go, stepping on the accelerator will break the Auto-Hold and the car will continue on to its destination.

Lincoln's Drive Control technology which comes combined with continuously controlled damping (CCD) offers the most luxurious drive. Sensors built into the car have a constant eye on the suspension, body movement, braking and the steering. The data collected from these sensors help with predictability and it suggests the best mode of driving depending on the conditions. The three available modes are: Comfort, Normal or Sport.

Adaptive Drive

Lincoln engineers started the process of building the 2017 Lincoln MKX with the idea of catering to every type of driver imaginable. As every driver will know, apart from vehicle performance, one of the most important elements is the feel of the seat.

A good seat will help to properly support the body – particularly so during long drives. In this instance, the two front seats have 22-way multi-contour options that can curve to afford the most amount of comfort to driver and passenger. Additionally, the seats are leather trimmed and have heating and cooling selections.

Apart from this, Lincoln engineers have also included other elements such as Adaptive Headlamps, 360-degree camera, Auto-folding Power Mirrors, Inflatable Safety Belts, Rain-Sensing Wipers and Adaptive Steering.

Adaptive Headlamps

These headlights come with LED accent lights and have been standardized on all of the new MKX models. The Adaptive forward headlights mean that the lighting arc follows the steering – ensuring that the driver is focused on what is directly in front of them.

Rain-Sensing Wipers

Chances are you have fiddled with all the bells and whistles on the sides of your steering wheel and on your dashboard trying to find the one for the wipers during a sudden thunderstorm. Not only is fiddling for the right button annoying, but it can deviate focus away from the road as well.The wipers on the MKX have 5 levels of sensitivity – from a light downpour to a heavy thunderstorm – so that you can set them on the level that you think is most appropriate. This undoubtedly gives the driver one less thing to worry about when on the road.
