The only engine available for the 2007 Lincoln MKX is a 3.5-liter V6 backed by a six-speed automatic transmission. The automatic shifts smoothly, but lacks a manual shift function, something many of its competitors offer. Its 265 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque drives the front wheels standard, with all-wheel drive an option. The fully independent suspension uses a MacPherson strut setup in front and a four-link configuration out back. Behind the 18-inch aluminum wheels and 245/60R-18 tires are four-wheel disc brakes with standard ABS. Traction control with roll stability control is standard equipment on all Lincoln MKX models, supplementing the available AWD hardware. Tire pressure monitoring is also standard.
