2016 LINCOLN MKS

The 2016 Lincoln MKS provides a form of elegance that is modest and discreet; nonetheless, the experience behind the wheel is a touch more refreshing than one would anticipate. As the Town Car has been discontinued for some time, and a new flagship sedan for Lincoln, the Continental, will not be available until the next model year, the MKS will continue to serve as Lincoln’s biggest and most opulent sedan for another year.

Overview:

The 2016 LINCOLN MKS is offered in 2 trim levels:

• Base
• EcoBoost

Performance and Fuel Economy

Strong performance is offered by the 2016 Lincoln MKS; even though it cannot be compared dynamically with German sports sedans. Because this is a model that manages to seem powerful yet also polished and mature, it is reasonable to describe it as a luxury automobile in the first place. The basic model is equipped with a 3.7-liter, 304-horsepower V-6 that drives the vehicle well but doesn’t provide much in the way of excitement. This engine is versatile enough to work with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configurations.

After that, you can upgrade to the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, which is a twin-turbo engine that produces 365 horsepower. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, which helps put the vehicle’s easily available 350 lb-ft of peak torque to the ground. Even though the EcoBoost engine’s rich, baritone exhaust sound is distinguishable from that of a V-8, the pull of the EcoBoost engine may be readily confused for that of a V-8.

Cabin Design

The passenger compartment of the 2016 Lincoln MKS is elegantly appointed with high-quality materials to highlight the vehicle’s streamlined appearance. While there is an option for wood and metal trim, the stock configuration conspicuously lacks the buttons and knobs that are commonplace on most premium vehicles. Several touch-sensitive switches were used to accomplish this streamlined appearance. The negative is that the sliders used for music and temperature settings and the center-mounted touchscreen interface may be difficult to view while driving, and the interface can also be sluggish to react to inputs.

Driver Station

The sophisticated straightforwardness of its controls immediately puts you at ease. Paddle shifters are hidden below the leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel of your new MKS. You can use these paddle shifters when seated at the wheel. They offer you the ability to put the 6-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox through its paces if you feel like taking a more exciting route on the road, thanks to the power that it grants you. Using the power controls, you may alter the position of the adjustable brake and accelerator pedals and the side-view mirrors, and the front seats. Once the adjustments have been made, they can be kept in memory and recalled by your MKS with the push of a button.

Dual-Zone HVAC

Dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control allows you and your front-seat passenger to choose the temperature at which you are most comfortable, maximizing the level of individualized convenience provided by the system. In addition, this capability collaborates with the Remote Start System to have the car ready for your arrival before you get there. MyKey gives you the ability to program a key to do various things, like setting an early low-fuel warning alert.

There hasn’t been much of an update to the Lincoln MKS in terms of the features and hardware. The front seats are heated and ventilated as standard, while other standard features include adaptive HID headlights, rear parking sensors, automated temperature control, and an outside keypad entry system. The standard equipment on the Lincoln MKS is known as the Premiere package.

Safety Features

Stability and traction control, front and side airbags for the front seats, and a rearview camera and parking sensors are all included in the 2016 Lincoln MKS’s standard equipment. Using the MyKey function, owners may also establish specific driving restrictions for their young drivers.
