The 2012 Lincoln MKT is a full-size luxury crossover SUV that was produced by Ford Motor Company for the 2010 to 2016 model years. It was positioned as a more stylish and luxurious alternative to the Ford Flex, sharing its platform and powertrains with the latter. The MKT featured a bold and distinctive design language, characterized by a large, chrome-laden grille, swept-back headlights, and a sloping roofline. Inside, the cabin offered comfortable seating for seven passengers, with premium materials and amenities expected from a luxury vehicle. The MKT came standard with a 3.7-liter V6 engine producing 268 horsepower, but a more powerful 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine, generating 355 horsepower, was also available as an option. The MKT's standard drivetrain consisted of a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive was an optional feature. Beyond its stylish design and comfortable interior, the 2012 MKT offered a broad range of features designed to enhance convenience and safety. These included a touch-screen infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, and a premium sound system. Safety features included airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and optional driver assistance systems like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. While the MKT was a compelling option in the luxury crossover segment, it faced competition from other established players like the Cadillac SRX, the Acura MDX, and the Audi Q7. Despite its appeal, the MKT's sales never quite matched the expectations of Ford, and it was ultimately discontinued in 2016. However, the 2012 MKT remains a unique and stylish vehicle that blends luxurious comfort with practical functionality, making it a suitable choice for families and individuals seeking a stylish and comfortable ride.
