The full-size Lincoln MKS sports an updated, sleeker style for 2013 that
headlines a range of improvements that match or exceed more expensive
luxury-class contenders.
The Lincoln MKS is the only car in its segment to offer Continuously Controlled
Damping (CCD) as standard equipment. By monitoring suspension settings up to 500
times per second, the real-time system delivers a more engaging ride with
improved handling, making the 2013 model the best-handling, most road-refined
MKS ever.
Lincoln Drive Control allows drivers to easily change the on-road personality of
the MKS. Moving the gear selector from 'Drive' to 'Sport' automatically adjusts
handling performance, ride firmness, throttle response, shift feel, steering
response and traction control/electronic stability control parameters. Drivers
can further personalize the CCD suspension settings, including selecting the
smoother-riding Comfort setting, using MyLincoln Touch.
All-wheel drive is standard with the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. In good weather,
over smooth roads at modest speeds and when AWD is not needed, the system
intelligently routes power only to the front wheels for improved fuel
efficiency.
New Lincoln MKS Exterior Styling
The dedicated Lincoln design studio has developed a contemporary new look for
the 2013 MKS. Every exterior surface from the A-pillar forward is new, including
the grille, HID headlamps, front fascia, hood and front fenders. Continuing the
new look are fresh 19- and 20-inch aluminum wheels. At the rear, MKS gets a new
fascia, LED tail lamps, exhaust tips and a new decklid design that improves
access to the trunk.
"The original MK vehicles were, in some ways, deliberately provocative," said
Max Wolff, Lincoln Design director. "The styling of the new MKS adds both
refinement and elegance to the car while visually lowering and widening the
front end. The continuous bright surround linking the grille and headlamps is
particularly rich and adds something significant to what is already an
expressive, balanced design."
