Full 2013 Lincoln MKT Review
What's New for 2013
The 2013 Lincoln MKT receives a number of changes. Under the hood is more power for both engines. Outside there's new front end styling, while within are redesigned seats, gauges and steering wheel. The MyLincoln Touch interface has been updated and made standard across the board and new features include inflatable rear-seat seatbelts, lane departure warning/assist, a heated steering wheel and (for the EcoBoost model) adaptive suspension dampers. Lastly, some optional features and package availability have been shuffled about.
Introduction
Based purely on pedigree, the 2013 Lincoln MKT would seem to be a show winner. It's based on the Ford Flex, a large crossover wagon we adore for its utility, well-rounded performance and unique style. Breed in a bunch more high-end features and some luxurious style, and the MKT should be even better, right? Well, it doesn't quite work out that way.
There is still quite a bit to like here. Many positive attributes shine through, including a confident driving attitude, a refined ride, an available 365-horsepower twin-turbocharged V6 engine and cutting-edge technology. The cabin, meanwhile, has been enhanced with high-quality leather, a classy design and plenty of material to deaden the road's abrasive soundtrack. Nor will you be left wanting for features. Even the base MKT comes loaded with convenience and luxury-oriented features, while options include such uplevel picks as automated parallel-parking assist, heated and ventilated second-row seats and a lane-departure warning/aid system.
