Review of 2017 Lincoln MKX.
I love my Lincoln MKX. It has all black interior which is my favorite. My vehicle is very spacious and comfortable. The back seats fold down for extra storage if needed. It is very spacious and comfortable. I have never had any problems with this vehicle. I would recommend it to anyone.

The Lincoln mks is a hands free joy!
This vehicle is fantastic. It has all of the modern day luxuries from a moonroof, large touch display, reclining rear seats and even heating and cooled seats. It is always a smooth drive and has a heated steering wheel as well. What is also very convenient is the keyless entry meaning you can just walk up to the car with keys in hand and pull on the door handle and it immediately unlocks. You can also leave your keys in the car and use a specific code to lock the car with the keys still inside and then you assign a code to unlock it. The vehicle is also equipped with a trunk that opens and closes all by itself, you simply wave your foot underneath it which is very convenient!

The 2017 Lincoln MKX is a very nice crossover. It is much nicer than the older first-gen MKX. The interior is very comfortable, the navigation and electronic features are convenient, and it drives well
Very well loaded luxury crossover that drives well, has good features, and is comfortable

Blind spot warnings and backup camera. Especially the rear motion detector when I am backing up. It beeps as a warning when another car is approaching
Luxury vehicle with all the most current technology. I love my light leather interior but it does tend to get d***y easily.

Like that it feels solid with little road noise, like the tech features
It is comfortable to ride in, keeps you cool in summer and warm in the winter

Great luxury car for people of all ages.
I love the looks of my Lincoln, bright red and black interior with beautiful other colors you can change. The only thing I don't like is that the shifter is on the dash and it's just a button instead of a regular shifter. I like the lane assist too, great car.

The Ultimate Lincoln Mercury MKX with all features offered on the 2017 model.
The MKX drives and handles well. It's very comfortable to ride in whether driving or riding. It has excellent features that include in car backup camera, excellent in car speaker system, in car phone, electric seats and headrest as well as electric mirrors, Side mirrors have a light that comes on when upcoming vehicles are on either side of you until the vehicle has gone past on a two to three or more lane interstate. Rear seats fold down to make space for extra cargo. Automatic rear hatch open and close. Beautiful interior trim package with black and brown color scheme for the leather seats. Also has light package that comes on in the dark as you approach the vehicle lighting the door handles and putting a doormat on the driver and passenger side until you are in the vehicle. All the bells and whistles are found on this car as this car was driven originally by an employee of the Lincoln Mercury manufacturing company. Sunroof opens to partial or full roof of vehicle. Lots of features on this beautiful silver Lincoln MKX.

It is big and spacious, I can see it as an luxury car just made a better model.
Needs a modern day upgrade, better feature. No aux, CD player sucks! Literally eats gas and because we have a lot of children we thought it’d be a perfect family car but easily torn and teared. Definitely time for a new vehicle or at least a tune up and some adjustments made.

Have had worse and better
We have 60,000 km on our 2017 mkx. We like driving the vehicle and how it looks. So far we have had several warranty claims. Park sensor wire harness went bad, front strut sensor broke and the entire strut had to be replaced. There is plastic panels under the vehicle that cover most of the underside, that keep coming loose and vibrating. We have had our spare tire compartment fill full of water several times and it took several attempts at the dealer over two years to get it completely fixed, and even after the interior was flooded multiple times, they refused to replace the vehicle. The sun roof drain tube fell off too and caused water to be trapped between the headliner and the roof. Water would run down the windshield and the seatbelts. The rear brake rotors look like they are delaminating. We have had a few check engine lights that needed new sensors to correct the issue. The automatic dimming headlights drive people crazy when you are following them at night. The auto wipers will start working when you hit a bunch of bugs and smear them all over the windshield because the computer thought the bugs were water drops. The battery had to be replaced at week one. The 21” wheel option looks nice but the tires are $500 a piece and they aren’t a long life tire. The paint on the aluminum hood comes off quite easy. It’s real thin paint. The AWD works really well in the winter, especially with four studded tires. The passenger side pillar trim fell off around the seat belt height adjuster twice. The retractable awning in the rear storage area rattled like crazy and they did a recall repair on it and it stopped rattling but would retract on its own afterward when you hit a bump so we removed it and put it in the closet where it belongs. The tail lights have been full of water droplets and humidity since day one. We had to install an oil catch can on the pcv valve line to prevent smoking at start up which totally cured the issue even though we had to pay for it and have it installed ourselves. Even though this vehicle has had a lot of issues and caused a lot of arguments at the dealer, I still actually like the vehicle. I’ll never buy another one but i’m also not in a huge hurry to get rid of it either.

I love the smooth ride and how it handles. The interior is comfortable and all the technology makes it easier to be safe. I don't like the price.
The safety features are great and the blind spot monitoring and cameras work well
