The cross-over SUV segment seems to get increasingly more crowded. It takes a lot to stand out and that is what Lincoln did with its 2016 LINCOLN MKX. This Lincoln vehicle was completely redesigned in 2016. The resulting vehicle is safe, comfortable, and has that certain je-ne-sais-quoi we like to call class.
This second generation mid-sized luxury cross-over boasts a quiet interior and spacious rear seating. It has a number of engine options with the turbocharged V6 engine delivering both power and fuel efficiency. The luxurious feel comes from a smooth quiet ride, high-end materials and such amenities as a 19-speaker sound system.
The 2016 Ford Edge makes strides towards a quiet cabin with its new noise reducing windshield. It also boasts a new infotainment system. The Ford Edge was redesigned in 2015 is a nice option if you are looking for an everday SUV but don't quite want to commit to the size of a 3-row Ford Flex. While both the 2016 Lincoln MKX and the 2016 Ford Edge both hold 5 people, there is slightly more room in the rear seat of the Ford Edge as the vehicle stands a couple of inches taller than the Lincoln MKX.
