2014 Lincoln MKT: What's New, Specs & Features

The 2014 Lincoln MKT was largely a carryover, with no redesign or broad mechanical update. The main change was that premium audio became standard on the EcoBoost model.
About the 2014 Lincoln MKT
1st generation (2010-2019), second model year after the 2013 refresh.
The MKT is Lincoln’s full-size three-row luxury crossover for buyers who want comfort, quietness, and a more distinctive look than a traditional family SUV. Lincoln marketed it around long-trip ease, rich materials, roomy seating, and integrated cabin tech rather than sharp-edged sportiness. Its biggest differentiators were its fastback-like shape, generous second-row space, panoramic glass roof, and a calm, well-insulated cabin that aimed to make seven-passenger travel feel more upscale.
The standard MKT focused on quiet, comfortable three-row travel, with seating for seven, a panoramic glass roof, an 8-inch touchscreen, and heated and cooled front seats. The EcoBoost version added a twin-turbo V6, standard all-wheel drive, adjustable suspension settings, and a more performance-focused feel.

“Need hand bar on driver's side----front seat needs to be just a few inches longer behind the knees---something not quite as comfortable as could be in the front passenger seat”
