2010 Lincoln MKT Crossover Coming In 2009

Lincoln confirmed it will produce the Lincoln MKT, a premium, three-row luxury crossover based on the concept vehicle with seating for up to seven passengers and all the latest in-car connectivity technologies including a new version of SYNC, Ford's connectivity technology that fully integrates customers' Bluetooth technologies including mobile phones and MP3 players. Plus, next-generation navigation system technology and new safety and security features will be available, including the new Blind Spot Monitoring and Cross Traffic Alert System.

The MKT will join the Lincoln lineup in calendar year 2009, along with an upgraded Lincoln MKZ mid-size sedan - plus an additional version of the flagship Lincoln MKS sedan powered by an EcoBoost engine. The MKT follows the launches of the two-row crossover Lincoln MKX, and the Lincoln MKZ mid-size sedan. In addition to a fuel-efficient 3.7-liter normally aspirated V-6 engine, the Lincoln MKT also will offer an EcoBoost 3.5-liter V-6 engine that will deliver an estimated 340 horsepower.

The Lincoln MKT will be manufactured in Ford Motor Company's Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario, Canada. Expect the MKT to join the Car Stock Exchange.
