2015 Lincoln MKX,
The
Lincoln Motor Company unveiled the MKX Concept at Auto China 2014 in Beijing.
The Lincoln MKX Concept hints at a global SUV that will become the third of
four all-new Lincoln vehicles due by 2016. It is designed to capture the
attention of consumers worldwide.
This
execution communicates adaptability to different road conditions, combined with
crafted execution and attention to detail.
Defined
by an aerodynamic, sloping teardrop roofline, the Lincoln MKX Concept’s modern
silhouette lends to its sporty personality, which is highlighted by wide
shoulders flanking its recessed rear windows to heighten the design. Dynamic
side undercuts, a high beltline and 21-inch machined aluminum wheels further
enhance the well-proportioned design.
The
roof over the rear was lowered to give the vehicle a sleeker shape. Highlighted
by a panoramic glass surface that lets natural light fill the cabin and
integrated roof racks, the floating rear spoiler houses the center high-mounted
stop light and hides the antenna.
The
Lincoln MKX Concept offers a new interpretation of Lincoln’s signature
full-width taillamps.
“Concept
vehicles are defined by every design detail,” said David Woodhouse, Lincoln
design director, “and this MKX Concept shows how Lincoln’s thoughtful design
philosophy continues to evolve. The Lincoln brand was built on vehicles with
stunning design, and the MKX Concept is the latest example.”
Lincoln’s
aggressive signature split-wing grille accentuates the front end. The artistic
interpretation of the grille features horizontal lines that continue as strips
of LED accent lights below each headlamp. These strips of light glow
sequentially as part of Lincoln’s updated approach detection feature – one
element of the Lincoln Experiences package.
Lincoln
Experiences, a technology-driven suite of features introduced on the all-new
2015 Lincoln MKX small utility vehicle, is designed to create a warmer, more
personal luxury car-owning experience. Anticipating and responding to a
driver’s needs and preferences, Lincoln Experiences offers a warm embrace that
begins as a driver approaches the vehicle and continues upon entry and vehicle
start-up.
