2010 Lincoln MKT
L incoln’s new take on the full-size, 7-passenger premium crossover, the MKT, is meant to re-establish Lincoln in the true luxury market, and the company clearly plans to work with the environment to get there. Think of the all-wheel-drive MKT as a roomy, versatile performance utility with a conscience.
Under the hood, the MKT offers a 3.7-liter Duratec powerplant standard, while a powerful E85 flex-fuel compatible 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ecoboost V6 provides stunning performance numbers for those with deeper pockets, especially when drivers opt for higher octane premium petrol.
The Lincoln MKT is equipped with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission, an advanced gearbox that offers the driver a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control. In addition, paddle shifters are integrated into the steering wheel spokes. Intuitive to operate, a squeeze back on either paddle will deliver an upshift, while a gentle push forward on either paddle will induce a “matched-rev” downshift.
This capability makes the Lincoln MKT driving experience sporty, yet smooth. Unlike other competitive transmissions, SelectShift won’t “second guess” the driver with an override shift. With SelectShift, manual control is truly manually controlled.
Key elements of Lincoln MKT suspension development and tuning included minimizing front end lift on acceleration, offering stable and engaging steering and handling characteristics while still delivering a luxurious ride Lincoln owners have come to expect.
A new rear suspension system features a “one for one” shock absorber ratio. The resulting linear response gave the engineering team a stable baseline for suspension tuning, allowing the team to deliver a better balance between responsive handling and control as well as a smooth ride. It also improves rear suspension isolation and enables the use of 20-inch wheels. -Jake Rishavy
