2017 Lincoln MKX Reviews

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!

I love my Lincoln MKX! It rides so well. The seats are luxurious and so comfortable. It has great take off power and the control is fantastic. I can get in and out of a parking space with no problem. I love the blind spot light on my mirrors and the beep when I have an object coming up beside me when parked or backing out of a parking space. I also love that the back hatch is button powered and the back seats are controlled by buttons. I highly recommend the MKX.

I test drove a 2017 mkz 3:0 awd with and without the sports package. The sports package sold me on the mkz. The torque vectoring made a huge difference. Even so , cornering is a weak spot as is the 6 speed transmission. Sports mode shifting lags in between gears , and the full 400hp of this engine is under utilized . An aftermarket tune may help with this issue. Also I am not a fan of the the button select transmission. On the plus side , it is very comfortable, with the massaging seats , ambient lighting, and the 400hp propels this hefty car like a rocket. Surprisingly fast , though not nimble. For the price , there is no competition if you want a powerful mid size luxury car. Also , parts and maintenance make owning this car very affordable. To do any better you would be looking at initials like AMG. Or an M class BMW. I love the car. I didn't buy it for the muscle, but having this much power is quite nice , and can leave some very surprising looks on peoples faces when you walk them red light to red light . For the value , styling, and performance I give it 5 stars .

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.

As a Car Guy, I deep dive research and test drive many vehicles before purchasing one for my current needs. I spent a few months doing so before purchasing my MKX Reserve. My checklist included my Must Haves and Must Not Haves which were even more important. Every time I looked at a different vehicle I found it fell short when compared to the MKX Reserve. The MKX Reserve meets and exceeds my expectations in every category: quality, quietness, above average fuel economy, sport sedan like handling, acceleration, roominess, creature comforts including both heated and cooled front seats, a back up screen display that really lights up the surroundings at night, adaptive HID headlamps and much more. My Dealer service is over the top. My Dealer picks up my MKX Reserve for service, gives me a Lincoln loaner vehicle at no charge and then returns mine all buffed and puffed and looking like the day I purchased it. What else could a buyer want?

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.
