Though you may travel the same roads every day,
no two are truly the same.
The road surface changes.
Passengers and cargo vary.
Even your driving style differs.
Yet Lincoln MKT feels as if
it is specifically engineered for
the exact stretch of pavement you’re on –
at any given moment.
It is.
HOW CAN IT ALWAYS BE ON ITS BEST BEHAVIOR?

Lincoln MKT adapts.
When the conditions change, its suspension changes.

Thanks to new Lincoln Drive Control technology,
it handles curves with precision, while helping to isolate you from road harshness.
All you sense is agile control and smooth ride comfort.
You’ve never seen this on a Lincoln before.
YOU’VE NEVER FELT A LINCOLN LIKE THIS.
Traditional suspensions lock you in with
“one size fits all.” Not this one. This highly
advanced, adaptive system uses a suite
of sensors that constantly read the road
and your driving input. In the blink of an
eye, it adjusts the firmness and damping
at all 4 wheels, independently. So turns
are tight. Bumps are eased. It’s all
about balance.

In close maneuvers, when every slight
move matters, the steering tightens up
to provide immediate response to your
input; in relaxed driving, it lightens up.
Lincoln MKT assists in other ways, too:
Driving in a strong crosswind or on
a heavily crowned road, it applies
assistance for you to help “center”
the wheel. Control is in your grip.

Electric power-assisted steering
When you’re accelerating through a turn,
Lincoln MKT applies slight braking to the
front wheel on the inside of the curve
to pass power (“vector” it) to the front
wheel on the outside of the curve. Why?
This adjustment enhances cornering
agility and helps reduce understeer. In
addition, when you’re entering a tight
curve, sensors measure how quickly the
vehicle is turning. If you’re traveling too
fast, Lincoln MKT selectively applies
brakes at all 4 wheels and reduces engine
torque to help you stay oan your intended
path. Confidence is on your side.

IT HAS ALL THE MAGIC NUMBERS.
What’s the sweet spot? The new, standard,
aluminum 3.7L V6 powerplant reaches it:
303 hp and 278 lb.-ft. of torque, while
topping the class
1
with 25 mpg hwy. The
DOHC design provides exceptional valve
timing control to deliver high peak
horsepower and low-end torque. It all
adds up to outstanding performance.
New 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 engine
This precisely designed engine puts out a
staggering 365 hp2 and 350 lb.-ft. of
torque – all from just 6 cylinders, while
still achieving 16 mpg city/23 hwy.

The secret? Two turbochargers and
high-pressure fuel injectors provide
power when you need it. It’s combined
with Intelligent all-wheel drive for
enhanced traction and incredible
off-the-line acceleration and handling.
