New 2016 Lincoln MKX arrives in Bahrain

Manama : Almoayyed Motors, the Lincoln importer-dealer in Bahrain had announced the arrival of the all-new Lincoln MKX to its showroom. The all-new Lincoln MKX is a vehicle that combines thoughtful and elegant design with a safe, effortless ride and a warm, tailored experience. 

“Personalised luxury, delivered through a suite of customer-focused enhancements, is at the heart of the all-new MKX,” said Sandeep Mathur, General Manager. 

New engine option

Leading the engine choices for the entirely MKX is the available advanced 2.7-litre twin-turbocharged Ti-VCT EcoBoost V6, which is GSO*-rated at 346 PS at 5,250 rpm and 542 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm on premium fuel. 

The standard 3.7-litre V6 is GSO-rated at 308 PS at 6,500 rpm and 379 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. 

Both engines are mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with push-button shift. Front-wheel drive is standard, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive optional. 

Safer and more effortless ride 

Available semi-autonomous features include the first Lincoln implementation of technology that may help avoid or lessen the severity of some frontal crashes: Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection. 

If no corrective action is taken and the system detects a collision is imminent, the brakes are automatically applied. 

Together, EPAS (electric power-assisted steering) and adaptive steering help provide an outstanding driving experience: EPAS reduces effort while adaptive steering reduces the amount the wheel needs to be turned. 

The new Auto Hold feature relieves the driver from having to press the brake pedal continuously to keep the vehicle stationary in traffic. Auto Hold releases the brakes when the accelerator pedal is pressed. 

Normal, sport and comfort modes. 

Active noise control enhances overall sound quality by cancelling unwanted noises, resulting in a comfortable cabin and a better environment for music listening and in-car telephone conversation. 

Also available to seamlessly assist the driver are: Adaptive cruise control uses sensors to detect when traffic in front of the vehicle slows. The vehicle automatically slows down, and resumes cruising speed when the sensors detect traffic has cleared 

The camera system offers a 180-degree split view, which can be helpful in looking out in cross-traffic situations. The 360-degree view shows up to seven feet all around the vehicle, helping to make parking easier. 

The 12-sensor ultrasonic system enables the full range of available parking-assist features: front rear side sensing, perpendicular and parallel parking and park out.

Elegant design

Proud, wide shoulders, dynamic side undercuts and belt lines, and clever touches such as the integrated antenna underscore a sophisticated and powerful appearance. 

Warm and tailored experience 

The available 22-way multi-contour front seats with Active Motion® can ease muscle fatigue and can be tailored for preference and comfort. The seat contour and fit for both driver and passenger can be adjusted to personalise the seat. Further adjustments can be made through the four-way power head restraint and the power cushion thigh extender. 

The available panoramic Vista Roof provides invigorating open-air travel and a sky-high view of the passing scenery for all passengers. 

Revel audio makes automotive debut

The Revel Ultima system is an optional extra available on Reserve models. It additionally features: 19 speakers engineered featuring point source architecture for unequalled musical accuracy 20-channel high-voltage hybrid amplifier for class-leading dynamics and optimised transparency
