The gauges and controls of the 2007 Lincoln MKX have been encompassed in a sweeping, easy-to-read instrument panel that flows gracefully into a well-ordered center stack. In the dark, the interior controls bask in cool white light, which is not only attractive and soothing, but a passive safety attribute. The window switches are mounted on the door panel, and the headlight and other secondary controls are also within easy reach. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel allows drivers of any size to get comfortable, and the pedals and shifter are all well placed. Lincoln’s GPS navigation system was awarded “best new system” from J.D. Power for its straightforward touch-screen design.
