From everywhere but the rear, visibility in the MKX is good. The front offers a commanding view, with a short hood and steeply raked windshield. The side mirrors are large, and the B and C pillars are thin enough that looking past them poses no problems. The rear seat headrests are intrusive if you’re looking directly behind you, and the rearmost pillars are ridiculously thick. Backup sensors aid reversing, but despite the navigation screen in the dash, a rear-view camera isn’t even offered, despite virtually every one of its competitors having one, which inexplicably includes Ford’s own Mazda subsidiary.
