2007 Lincoln MKX FWD In-Depth Review

Help us grow so we can bring you more videos! Like us on Facebook @ / 2redline Join 2theRedline's Senior Editor, Christian Rosario, as he takes you on an in-depth review of the first model year of the Lincoln MKX!
"With a car-based chassis and attractive styling, the 2007 Lincoln MKX is a fresh alternative to more established luxury crossover SUVs; however, its questionable brakes and so-so cabin furnishings leave it a few steps behind the leaders in this class." (Edmunds.com)

thk u.. finally someone that actually admits that those are plastic wheel covers.. im tired of dealers and previous owners stating that this car has chrome rims.. they are plastic silver painted hubcaps.. now take off $1000 and knock it off!!!

[@aayonce4]

It's chrome plated

[@believr77]

Great in-depth review. My LX470 was totaled recently and am looking at a smaller SUV with better mpg as a replacement. What had me look twice at a used MKX is that many owners online give it great reviews. Also looking at Lexus RX350/400h, Acura MDX and Nissan Murano. Love the Infiniti FX, but there just isn't enough room inside for storage.

[@Nightbird.]

I am looking at a used 2003 Lexus LX 470..but the rear air suspension is scaring me as those always go bad. Can you tell me how reliable yours was? Any major things I need to watch out for when looking for one? Thanks.

[@vparakhin]

The guy nitpicks a lot "I don't like the looks and the feel of that SUV. I don't even like shape of the rocks on which this car sits".

[@245tfox]

Its nice to see a 2TRL editor that doesn't just praise a ford vehicle for 8 or so minutes. (like some of the other editors) I like that Christian actually pointed out some flaws, yet still shows how the MKX is a good car.

[@Jakeman21642]

I really forget about Lincoln a lot but all of their cars have some of the mot beautiful, tasteful interiors I have ever seen! They really feel and look upscale compared to the fords they are based on.

[@larrymensour3828]

My 2008 MKX failed at 95,600 km . The wrench and engine light came on the day before ( when I first heard that clunk sound when I put in reverse , then drive) the very next day on the way to the dealer at the intersection the transmission just completely gave way, there was nothing, No reverse, No drive, NOTHING. So from the others on you tube - what we are gathering is that it can be a speed sensor ?? if so , why is the dealer not changing these sensors then? The transmission has to be replaced now - (Big bill $$) Lincoln has faulty transmission and Lincoln should be paying for this.

[@Nightbird.]

Thanks for the warning. I was going to buy a used 2009 with about 140k miles for about $7k..but not now after hearing so many complaints about the quality of this vehicle. What did you do? Did you fix it or buy something else? I'm now looking at a used 2003 Lexus GX 470..but am not sure due to it having a rear air suspension..and air suspensions always break down.

[@younggod9277]

Nightbird Im going through the same exact shit bro with this car bro...

[@jmc6000]

the newer Lincoln's are becoming more and more different from the Ford cousins. In fact the 2011 and up MKX have a more refinded and different look inside than its brother the Ford Edge. The updates to the MKS and MKT really make a difference and feel more sprate than the Ford platforms they are based upon.

[@65473892]

Thank you very much. It was very helpful as we are going to buy one. You sold us.

[@Captain_Brown_Beard]

I have this car. Make sure the PTU (AWD Transfer case) has been replaced. They like to fail on these and the Edge, bad design from ford as they overheat when the AWD is used for long sessions. Stealership hit me with a $1700 bill. They replaced it with an updated PTU. They still do not admit fault for recall.

[@paranoid5881]

How much a month/etc do you pay for Insurance?

[@Captain_Brown_Beard]

Maybe $80 or something. Dude, dont buy this thing trust me. Go get something more reliable lol.

[@paranoid5881]

Darien Falks Is it really that bad?

[@2tooful]

[@WannabeSS]

My neighbor has had two of these things... wasnt a super big fan of the styling on them. Interior looks... eh lol.

[@2tooful]

you are right but thats an option,they offer actual chromed alloy rims that adds to the cost

Nice In-Depth review Christian :D

[@brorowcarwiz]

Love the review... but the car? Not so much. I believe that Lincoln needs a MUCH stronger offering in this highly contested segment. Lincoln as a brand needs to regain its focus and purpose in the industry. Most Lincoln dealerships are apart of Ford dealerships, which, in my opinion, leads to lower Lincoln sales. I personally could not justify purchasing a new MKX over a new fully loaded Escape. Ford's interiors on upper models are honestly capable of gaining luxury status. C'mon Lincoln!

[@ProV68]

Does anyone else think this video was more slow-paced than usual?

[@erinapple156]

I was going to buy one until I saw those stupid warning tags on the visor, wish ford and GM would listen to the customers GM has very loud chimes that I run from. And if the fuel door isn't on the drivers side I will not purchase it that's a definite NO.

[@Dunoj]

I don't like that the climate control goes from 60-65 with no in between adjustment. I also feel like the plastics in there in sound and look cheap. I believe at this price point that all windows should be one touch. Same sun visor as in my Taurus except that mine doesn't have a light in it. The light fixture in the rear is also the same one as my Taurus except mine uses regular light and not those blueish bulbs.

[@importcarenthusiast]

I always think of Lincoln as just an overpriced ford with a bit of wood on the inside.

[@TheKillerace900]

Import Car Enthusiast not anymore

[@Lincolnator721]

How so? Heated and cooled leather seats. Panoramic roof. TVs in the headrests. Steering adaptable headlights (I don't see BMW doing this). Better speakers. LED lights. And more

I'm debating between this and a hyundai santa fe 🤔

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Was this filmed at a junk yard? Just kidding. Lol..the car must have been in an accident though. The body lines where the rear doors close don't line up with the rest of the body.
