Maureen C

So comfortable everyone will want you to drive them everywhere.

I love the temperature control. Especially the heated seats in winter and the air-conditioned seats in the summer. It makes extreme weather conditions more bearable.

Susan S

Luxury, comfort and style.

The Lincoln MKX is the most reliable car I have ever owned. The features are luxurious such as ambient lighting that changes color, lumbar support, amazing sound system as well. The car is comfortable and the ride is impressive with effortless driving. The car gets about 19 mph. I would definitely buy another Lincoln when I am in the market for a new car.

JoAnn E

Red in color with roof rake.

It rides well, gets anywhere for 18 to 22 miles to the gallon depending on my driving and road conditions. Has heated steering wheel and seat. Only normal expenses associated with driving. Leather seats. Original tires gave me 80,000 miles. Seat position moves nicely.

LJ B

It runs on regular gas 85, you save a few dollars at the pump. Most people think I used premium gas.

My Lincoln MKX is the right size for me and my family. Both seats, front and back are very comfortable. What I really like best about it is, for a medium size SUV. My 10 year old and 5 year old can move around easily, the five year old walk back and forth before getting into her booster seat.

George E

Smooth ride with all the advanced features at your fingertips.

Beautiful ride and handling. The interior is beautifully designed. Lots of room. The electrical features include anything you can imagine. Quiet ride. One of the best turning abilities I have experienced. The dashboard is clearly lit up and easy to manipulate. Dual heating and a/c. Heated seats and steering wheel.

Veronica H

Drive with total luxury and comfort. . Drive a Lincoln!! Grate performance.

I love my vehicle its reliable drives smooth and very comfortable. Good on gas especially on open r I ad trips. Not only is it comfortable for the driver but very comfortable for all the passengers, leather seating and individual climate controlled. The sound system is awesome. And love that I can change my color scheme in my vehicle. The performances is steady. Also love my sunroof. Plenty of legroom. Will not b e disappointed driving a Lincoln mkx.

Conrad S

Very good value still even 4 years old.

Very dependable. With 20 inch tires very smooth ride. Only problem; Ford has withdrawn support for "sync services". Otherwise no major electronics problems. Rear bumper under door lift could be made of better durable material. Engine has plenty of pickup and good gas mileage.

Sally D

Has all the bell and whistles i could ask for (including cooled seats!)

It's AWD which is great for Michigan winters; it has a lot of hi-tech capabilities (GPS, color touch screen); very luxurious, good gas mileage, stylish

Negative Owner Reviews

I’ll never buy another Lincoln. Terrible!

Terrible. Wish I’d never bought it. Will never buy another Lincoln. I’ve had nothing but issues with it. Climate control turns its self to lowest setting on the passenger side fogging up the windshield. Tells me the car is not in park when it is. Says the drivers side door is ajar when it’s closed. The headlights are terrible.

Lincoln MKX 2014 in review.

I have had several problems with this car, from transmission, to breaks, to engine light coming off and on. It is terrible on gas, Does handle well in the snow, it is a very comfortable ride, but I would not buy another one. I would prefer something smaller and more gas efficient.

Linda L

Nice and roomy to travel in and the seating is comfortable.

Like the size of it. Good to travel in. Hard to adjust rearview mirrors. High gas mileage. Comfortable seating. Electronic system seems to be not as good as other vehicles

Terri L

My Lincoln MKX. The driving machine.

My only complaint is the gas mileage. The car gets about 19 miles to the gallon. I love the comfort and feel of the drive. Back seat and cargo areas very large. Favorite part is the heated steering wheel and heated seats. These are in the front and back.

Honest 2014 Lincoln MKX review.

No real problems with the vehicle. Upgraded from a small car due to our growing family. Wouldn't want any other kind of vehicle. Luxury items on the car are a plus. All wheel drive for bad weather is also a must have. Gas mileage is pretty good for being AWD.

Ben D on May 15, 2021

This car is seriously the best car ever.

I love my car. It is a 2014 Lincoln MKX. It drives very smoothly and handles different tractions well. I have never been nervous to drive my car, even in rainstorms, snow, on ice, etc. The drive is always smooth and never feels bumpy or frantic. I dread the day I need a new car.

Pros from Owners

Alyssa S.

The main pot is the way it drives. It is very smooth. I also enjoy the sound system. It has a thx sound system. The entertainment system is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I also enjoy how comfortable the seats are. There is also plenty of space in the back even though it is a smaller vehicle.

Cons from Owners

Alyssa S.

My main issue with the vehicle is that some of the interior features are not holding up as well as they should be. The carpet is coming up in spots even though there has been no damage. The center console is also very easy to scratch. I am also not a fan of the wood parts of the interior.

Is The 2014 Lincoln MKX A Good Car?

It is a good, reliable, great looking vehicle. Very safe, with multiple air bags and built-in steel bars in doors.

Renata M.

Yes, I love driving the MKX. This is my second one to drive. I commute almost 40 minutes a day for school and this car has gotten me there and back safely.

Zoe S.

Yes. Luxury, attractive and dependable. This is my second Lincoln and I've had no problems with either car.

Allie S.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Lincoln MKX?

I find it very reliable. During the five years I have owned it, I have not had a single major problem. The steel-fortified doors are heavy - not a problem for me, but may be for someone else.

Renata M.

It does not have any problems to my knowledge. Just routine checkups like any other vehicle etc. brakes replaced

Tammy W.

It is very reliable and has been basically problem-free. I enjoy the heated seats and steering wheel and tinted windows.

Brenda V.

Is The 2014 Lincoln MKX A Good Value?

Back in 2014, new Lincoln MKX AWD cost around $41,000. The same used vehicle today is around $15,000 - $20,000, depending on its specific condition.

Renata M.

I am unsure of the answer to this question. I would say yes, that it is of good value. I would pay a lot for this car.

Jennifer B.

30,000 dollars. I bought it used at the time. It is certainly a good value for a luxury car. It runs very well and looks amazing.
