2015 Lincoln MKS: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2015 Lincoln MKS
1st generation MKS (2009-2016), late-cycle year after the 2013 refresh.
Lincoln positioned the MKS as its full-size luxury sedan for buyers who wanted a big, quiet, comfort-first car with a rich cabin and lots of standard equipment. The brochure leans on elegant styling, leather and wood interior materials, adaptive ride control, and easy long-distance cruising rather than sharp sport-sedan behavior. Against rivals, its main appeal was roomy comfort, a hushed cabin, and generous standard features for the class.
The 2015 MKS is a comfort-focused full-size luxury sedan with leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, and an adaptive suspension with three drive modes. The base model uses a 3.7-liter V6, while the more powerful EcoBoost version pairs a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 with standard AWD and active noise control.
