At its 2007 introduction, the Lincoln MKX faced stiff competition from a bevy of crossover rivals—and its less expensive corporate cousin, the Ford Edge, with which many critics said it shared too much in common.
Now in its second generation, the MKX does a better job of defining its own identity. And though it lacks a third-row seat—so popular in the crossover market—it offers a spacious, well-designed interior, a refined ride and a powerful engine. Whether Lincoln has done enough to differentiate the MKX from the competition remains to be seen.
