“It should have come standard with a back up camera. The interior is very well appointed and organized. Rear view camera should have been standard equipment for this vehicle.”
2015 Lincoln MKX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Lincoln MKX is a true carryover with no major changes. Its powertrain, styling, safety equipment, technology, and structure remain unchanged from 2014.
About the 2015 Lincoln MKX
1st generation MKX, final model year before the all-new 2016 redesign.
Lincoln positioned the MKX as a personal-luxury midsize SUV built around comfort, quietness, and easy everyday driving rather than aggressive performance. The brand’s messaging focused on rich interior materials, seamless in-car tech, supportive heated and ventilated front seats, and confident V6 power for long trips or daily errands. Against rivals, the MKX’s appeal was its generous standard upscale equipment and relaxed road-trip personality in a practical two-row package.
Lincoln positioned the 2015 MKX as a well-equipped, two-row luxury SUV rather than offering a stripped-down entry trim. It has a 3.7-liter V6, leather-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, remote start, a power liftgate, and rear parking sensors. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions were sold.
