What's new for 2009

Thursday, February 12, 2009

CONFIRMED:

MARK LT: The Lincoln pickup truck is being discontinued.

MKS: The all-new 2009 MKS takes over as Lincoln's flagship sedan. The MKS will initially be offered with a 270 hp 3.7 liter V6 and choice of front- or all-wheel-drive; a twin-turbo direct injection V6 is scheduled to join the options list about a year after the MKS' introduction. Lincoln will use the MKS to introduce several new (or, at the very least, new to Lincoln) technologies, including a capless fuel filler, keyless ignition, adaptive cruise control, and the much-vaunted SYNC system.
MKX: Lincoln's crossover gets a handful of interior enhancements (front passenger grab handle, cargo bay hooks, cargo tie-down net, built-in garage door opener). The optional navigation system now includes SIRIUS Travel Link, which provides real-time traffic, weather and fuel prices. A new Limited Edition offers a chrome grille, 20" chrome wheels, and an upgraded interior.

MKZ: A new Midnight Black special edition features black perforated leather seats and contrasting interior trim. An updated MKZ is coming in 2009 as a 2010 model.

NAVIGATOR: Lincoln's big SUV is livin' large with new standard equipment: Microsoft SYNC, front park assist, rain sensing wipers, heated second-row seats, and a rear view camera. The optional voice-activated navigation system now includes SIRIUS Travel Link (see MKX, above). A new Monochrome Appearance Package, available in white, black, silver and green, features a body-color lower grille, lower-body cladding and side-view mirrors.

TOWN CAR: Unchanged.

NEW CROSSOVER: Lincoln will field a new seven-seat crossover, powered by Ford's turbocharged direct-injection EcoBoost engine, in 2009, probably as a 2010 model.
