About this generation

The second generation Lincoln MKX was revealed as a concept vehicle at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show. The production model was revealed at the 2015 North American International Auto Show and officially went on sale in the fall of 2015 as a 2016 model. The Lincoln MKX features bi-xenon HID projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED fog lights, LED taillights, or full adaptive LED headlights with LED amber turn signals, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, and LED fog lights which replaces the standard bi-xenon headlights if the Lincoln MKX is equipped with Luxury Package.

The standard engine is the Duratec 3.7-liter V6 rated at at 6500 rpm and at 4000 rpm. The optional engine is the all new Ecoboost V6 that produces at 5500 rpm and at 3000 rpm. Trim levels include Premiere, Select, Reserve and top level Black Label, which is three special appearance packages, a tradition started with the Designer Editions in 1976. The MKX offers the "Thoroughbred" (shared with the MKZ and the Continental), "Modern Heritage", and "Indulgence" theme appearance packages.

The transmission is no longer activated with a center console installed transmission selector; the computer controlled transmission uses buttons installed to the left of the MyLincoln Touch infotainment touch screen labeled "P, R, N, D, S". In the late 1950s a similar feature was offered on all 1957 and 1958 Mercury sedans called Multi-Drive. During the same time, Chrysler offered the push button TorqueFlite and Packard offered the Ultramatic.

The "S" transmission selection represents "Sport" mode, where the Continuously Controlled Damping suspension, electric power steering and transmission shift points take on a different posture. For the 2019 model year, the second-generation MKX underwent a mid-cycle revision that was introduced in November 2017, taking on the Lincoln Nautilus nameplate.
