The MKX isn’t a chore to drive, but neither is it very fun. It’s basically a forgettable vehicle from behind the wheel, unfortunate considering its competition includes dynamic rides like the Acura MDX and Cadillac SRX. The acceleration is good, but flawed by noise and an indecisive automatic. The ride is adequate, but passengers – and maybe even the driver – can get seasick from the pitching and rolling; forget about tackling a winding country road. It’s shocking to us that the MKX loosely shares the same platform as the Mazda CX-7 and CX-9, both of which are about as different from this Lincoln as can be. Enthusiasts should shop elsewhere.
