The 2016 Lincoln MKX for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Lincoln MKX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Buying the 2016 Lincoln MKX is a big decision; here is the information we have.
What to check on the MKX
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Specs, explained
The 2.7L 6-cylinder turbo, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 11.5 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 35 litres. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $53.49 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The MKX in everyday use
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent first, buy later: a week with the MKX answers the big questions. Rent the MKX first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.83 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Next step
Want to try the model first? Send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
