Worth knowing
- The touchscreen system is slow and glitchy, and the V6 water pump is costly to replace.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for an MKX with an upgrade package such as Reserve or Elite: it adds a panoramic roof, upgraded audio and more driver aids. Test the MyLincoln Touch screen carefully.
On the test drive
Test the touchscreen system thoroughly, as it is slow and prone to freezing. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

Prices are typical dealer and private asking prices from used listings, collected in September and October 2026, for an average-mileage car. Years with too few listings are estimated from nearby years. Crash ratings, recalls and owner complaint counts come from NHTSA public records.
