Lincoln MKS 2013 for lease

Lincoln MKS 2013

Introduced in 2008 as a 2009 model year, the MKS competes in the niche of large luxury sedans, alongside models like the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, the Infiniti M and Mercedes-Benz E-Class A contract that is all! While rivals are often available in various versions, the MKS is offered in four-door sedan and traction, while an all-wheel drive is still offered. The MKS is based on the D3 platform, the same used for the Ford Five Hundred and Freestyle as well as the current Taurus.

A new engine more than interesting
Under the hood, the MKS has the basis of the same engine as before, a Duratec 3.7-liter V6 developing 273 horsepower with a torque of 270 lb-ft. Married to a six-speed automatic transmission, the only proposed in the MKS, this engine offers all the same stature interesting for 0-100 km / h in about 7.2 seconds.
New this year is the arrival of a new engine not only more powerful but also more modern. The MKS can be equipped for 2013 with a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, the same found on board the Taurus SHO and Ford Flex. With 24 valves and direct injection technology, this engine is not only much more powerful with 355 horsepower, but it is also more economical than the 3.7-liter V6, essentially subtracting one liter per 100 km. With a higher bill of about $ 3 000 is an attractive alternative to our view that the MKS AWD equipped with the 3.7-liter V6. This is especially a consideration that the EcoBoost engine can accept regular fuel, not super as in the case of multiple supercharged engines.

Outside, the MKS offers elegant and sophisticated. Its front grille typical Lincoln makes quickly recognizable. The other glaring touch his size. This is an impressive car that reminds us of a time not so long ago. This stature is also well demonstrated by the high beltline. Story to give it a more sporty style and especially to turn the heads of younger, do not miss the 20-inch wheels, while the latter providing a style to the car. Moreover, the 2013 MKS offers a lot more style mat that some rivals.

A simple interior
The element that we have the most popular on board the Lincoln MKS affects the simplicity of the cabin. While several rivals flood us with technology and gadgets difficult to use or understand, the MKS has a dashboard could not be more classic. Exit centralized control systems to BMW iDrive, everything is presented on the dashboard and easier to use thanks to a touch screen. Moreover, the finish is impeccable and engineers focused care for soundproofing.
One of the greatest qualities of the MKS key is comfort. The seats offer a princely comfort for both front passengers as those taking place in the back. However, the trunk is quite narrow, which does not facilitate the loading, despite a decent cargo space.
On the road, we appreciate the spirit of the EcoBoost V6. Press the accelerator and you get an instantaneous power, which is very appreciated. This is especially generous torque that supports the engine from the naturally aspirated engine, especially given the high weight of the car. With 355 horsepower, the MKS is not a cushy car.

Not a Buick
Despite the fact that the MKS is focused on comfort, it is not uninteresting to drive. Its steering is communicative and suspension custody glued to the road. Fans of the genre can also change gear transmission with manual lever located behind the wheel. Nevertheless, it remains much more a grand tourer, a rival of the German short, the MKS is not the most attractive on a race track, but it is funny to travel long distances in comfort.
Moreover, it must convince buyers that it has as much to offer than its competitors and to be driving a Lincoln is not a sign that you have 80 years. Is this a good car? Yes. Do I see myself driving a Lincoln? Not yet a question of image, no doubt. And you?
