Lincoln’s justification for not making the MKX a three-row seven seater was that it allowed them to offer a generous back seat. This pays off in reality, as there is ample leg, head and shoulder room in the MKX, as long as the driver isn’t too tall. Our test vehicle also boasted optional heated rear seats, a nice touch. An armrest folds down in the middle, complete with cupholders, but their poor placement means you either use the cupholder or use the armrest; you can’t do both. The center position is uncomfortable, but the outboard positions are very good. The seatbacks recline, and the cushion is high enough off the floor and long enough that even tall riders won’t complain.
