The climate controls in the MKX are the same automatic controls used in virtually every other Ford product these days. That’s good, because they’re simple to use and effective, but we do wish more than a can of silver Krylon was used to distinguish the Lincoln from its less expensive siblings. The heated and cooled front seats are easy to operate: three settings for heat and cool, with separate buttons for each. While the driver and passenger can have separate controls, they’re synchronized at the touch of a button, unlike some systems which either can’t be synched or require navigating a touch screen menu to do so.
