he 2013 Lincoln MKX rolls into showrooms with enhancements that make it even more appealing. The MKX remains one of the segment’s most powerful crossovers. The Lincoln five-passenger crossover has best-inclass fuel economy and impressive standard horsepower. It also has standard voice-activated SYNC with MyLincoln Touch, heated and cooled front seats, reverse sensing system and remote keyless entry and start. The 3.7-liter V-6 produces 305 horsepower while delivering segment-leading fuel economy of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway (the best among nondiesel offerings). The V-6 routes power through a six-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted using standard paddles behind the wheel. Expanded SYNC functionality includes standard operator Assist and local Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities for laptops and tablets. Curve Control is part of the MKX’s AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. Curve Control helps drivers maintain control when taking a curve too quickly, an error contributing to some 50,000 crashes in the U.S. annually. Available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) uses wide-angle, short-range radar sensors to continuously monitor each side of the vehicle to detect when another vehicle enters the defined blind spot zone (within 45 feet). A light appears on the corresponding side view mirror to indicate another vehicle is in the defined blind spot. The available panoramic Vista Roof provides a movable forward sunroof and a fixed rear moonroof. Dual power sunshades can be used to block out unwanted glare. Dramatic 22-inch polished aluminum are available for the 2013 MKX. These wheels expand the wheel offerings beyond the standard 18-inch rims and optional 19- and 20-inch choices.

passenger. 2013 Explorer highlights include the latest-generation SYNC system with MyFord Touch featuring Wi-Fi capability, text-tovoice, HD Radio with iTunes Tagging and voiceactivated navigation, plus a standard trailer sway control, which uses selective braking and engine management to tame unwanted trailer movement. Explorer delivers a
thoughtful, flexible interior package that abounds with clever storage solutions and generous head and shoulder room, three rows of flexible seating, and room for all the gear families invariably take along on their adventures. Explorer’s standard engine is a 3.5-liter V6 delivering 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. Mated to Ford’s six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission, this efficient V6 delivers up to a best-inclass EPA-rated 25 mpg on the highway. Ford Explorer V6 models are available with an intelligent 4WD system that
adds terrain management. A driver need only turn the console-mounted knob to the proper setting for snow, sand, mud or normal mode. In addition, the system includes hill descent mode. The 2013 Explorer offers the advanced 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine -- delivering the power of a normally aspirated V6 without compromise to its four-cylinder fuel economy. This directinjected, turbocharged and intercooled engine delivers an estimated 237 horsepower and develops 250 lb.-ft. of torque from 1,700 through 4,000 rpm. Compiled by Motor Matters
