About the 2014 Lincoln MKS

1st generation (2009-2016), second year after the major 2013 refresh.

Lincoln presents the MKS as a full-size luxury sedan built around quiet travel, rich materials, and easy long-distance comfort. The brochure leans on themes like seamless connectivity, adaptive ride control, leather-trimmed seating, and distinctive lighting rather than sharp-edged sport-sedan behavior. For most shoppers, the MKS is the roomy, comfort-first Lincoln sedan: a softer, less common alternative to German luxury cars, with an available EcoBoost version for buyers who want much stronger acceleration without giving up the big-cabin feel.

The standard MKS is the comfort-focused version, with adaptive suspension, heated and cooled leather front seats, and an 8-inch touchscreen system. The EcoBoost model is the more athletic version, pairing a twin-turbo V6 with all-wheel drive, active noise control, and 20-inch wheels.
