Elegant Design

In true Lincoln style, the 2008 MKX combines elegant design and features that will get heads turning. Prepare to cause a stir. Fair warning: Edge’s bold design – especially that of the new Limited – tends to attract admirers. And after the sporty stance, sleek lines and crisp accents draw you in, Edge’s remarkable flexibility keeps you coming back for more. New for 2008, a power liftgate is standard on Limited and optional on SEL, making cargo-area access easier than ever. Class-exclusive Vista Roof™ Edge’s optional Vista Roof offers you the only 2-panel panoramic view available in the class. It encompasses over 39% of the total roof area, provides a daylight opening over 3 times larger than the average traditional moonroof, and creates a maximum total-air opening of over 4322 sq. cm (4.6 sq. ft.) when fully open. Also includes convenient dual power sunshades. The SIRIUS® difference. SIRIUS Satellite Radio,* standard on every Edge, gives you digital quality channels – including sports, news, entertainment and 100% commercial-free music – all across Canada.   Experience its intuitive design. The driver-centric styling of Edge’s interior puts the essential controls — including the standard steering wheel-mounted cruise control, secondary audio controls and a tilt/telescoping steering column — all within easy reach. The available Audiophile® Sound System features a 6-disc in-dash CD changer and 9 speakers, including an 8-in. subwoofer and a 190-watt amplifier. It is sonic bliss. Another perk for the driver and front passenger: Edge comes with standard heated front bucket seats to ward away those early morning chills. Share your new hot spot. With such amazing style and room for up to 5 adults, your new Edge will be the ride of choice among friends and family, especially when you go for the available new Interior Appearance Package on Limited. The seats in every Edge are designed to help reduce fatigue, actively supporting you without feeling restrictive, while the standard Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control further enhances your comfort. Strategically placed sound-dampening materials and carefully contoured sideview mirrors are just a few of the details that lead to Edge’s remarkably quiet ride.

Interior Luxury

With the luxury interior of the MKX, who needs a destination? The Standard is Set. In everyday driving situations, the all-new Edge handles like a dream. Over Sand and Stone. The Edge performs on uneven ground such as gravel and stone. Water Works. Even in wet and undesirable weather, Edge provides driving confidence. AWD Models* Hug the corners. Active All-Wheel Drive (AWD) makes driving Edge exhilarating in any weather, but it’s especially helpful with the foul stuff. This on-demand system constantly monitors driver and vehicle inputs, predicts traction and delivers the appropriate amount of torque to all 4 wheels, reacting before wheel slippage can even occur. In fact, working with the standard AdvanceTrac with RSC, the AWD system can transfer torque both front to rear and side to side, enabling it to keep Edge AWD models moving even if only one wheel has traction. *SEL AWD or Limited AWD. Shift your day into high gear. Fun to drive is an understatement. You’ll revel in Edge’s confident, sports sedan-like handling thanks to features like its specially tuned, fully independent suspension and AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability ControlTM). Excellent launch and acceleration performance are the result of pairingEdge’s lively 3.5L Duratec 35 V6 engine with a sophisticated 6-speed automatic transmission that actually adapts to your driving style. And the V6 engine, which serves up a best-in-class 265 hp and 250 lb.-ft. of torque, was named one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines of 2007.

Together with standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control ) , it can transfer torque both front to rear and side to side, keeping Lincoln MKX moving even if only one wheel has traction. Riding Smoothly. A solid foundation contributes greatly to the smooth handling characteristics of the luxury-tuned, fully independent front and rear suspension of Lincoln MKX. The MacPherson strut front suspension, mounted to an isolated subframe, employs hydrobushings to reduce unwanted steering wheel vibration. The shock absorbers for the independent rear suspension are mounted outboard and behind the wheel centre to help maximize ride comfort and increase driver control. Fuel Economy. A rollerchain cam drive, chosen for its low-friction operation, helps MKX deliver its impressive fuel economy using regular unleaded gas. The AWD gets 13.7L/100km city driving and an impressive 9.2L/100KM on the highway.*. *Based on front wheel drive models and Transport Canada approved test methods. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on driving habits, weather, road conditions and other factors beyond our control.

Safety First

Always at the forefront of our minds, the MKX boasts safety features that allow you to focus on your drive with confidence. For Your Protection. An array of six standard airbags offers enhanced protection for all outboard passengers in Lincoln MKX. Driver and front passenger are protected by dual-stage front airbags and front-seat side airbags, while all outboard passengers benefit from the side-curtain airbags in the Safety Canopy™ System. In certain types of side-impact events, these airbags deploy from the headliner to cover both rows of the vehicle. Additional protection for the driver comes from a stroking steering column, which functions similarly to a shock absorber to help reduce the impact to the chest in the event of a frontal crash. *Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat. Ready and Stable. AdvanceTrac® with class exclusive RSC® (Roll Stability Control), standard on every Lincoln MKX, is an electronic stability enhancement system that actually measures what other manufacturers’ systems ignore or can only estimate. Our system features a vehicle roll motion sensor that directly measures the vehicle’s roll-rate at least 100 times every second to help determine when and how it will utilize AdvanceTrac’s Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), traction control and yaw control to help keep all 4 wheels of Lincoln MKX firmly planted*. *Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
