The 2008 Lincoln MKX combines style and power in one package as this sleek model has a V6 engine that generates 265-horse power and 250 lb-ft of torque, using a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Safety is important in this Lincoln, as it comes with six standard airbags that help protect the driver and front passenger. The system includes side-impact protection and rollover detection. There’s also a safety cage, which uses stamped-steel ladder frame rails and intrusion beams to help channel impact energy away from the passengers, helping to keep them safe and sound.

The suave appearance of the ‘08 MKX has exterior features to thank for its look, including a chrome grille and flowing lines. There’s also adaptive headlamps, a Vista roof and 18-inch aluminum wheels that contribute to style.

Taking a look inside this model, style continues with features like genuine wood, bright nickel and chrome accents. Front seats are heated and cools at three levels, adding to comfort, and innovative aluminum engine, a spoiler designed to reduce wind noise and sound-deadening materials in strategic spots to help lower noise, vibrations and harshness.

Entertainment is provided with a rear-seat DVD player, which can play movies and video games on an 8-inch flip-down screen. Audio options include an available THX system with 14 speakers, and MP3 playback and satellite radio capability also is available. The MKX comes standard with an AM/FM system with MP3 playback capability and 6-disc in-dash CD changer.

Lincoln’s 2008 MKX is advanced, safe and reliable, and luxury car buyers will have a hard time passing it by without a second look this year.
