DEARBORN, Michigan – The all-new 2016 Lincoln MKX midsize crossover is on sale now at Lincoln dealerships with a starting price of $38,995, including a $925 destination charge.

Base pricing reflects an $800 reduction compared to the 2015 MKX.

The top-of-the-line 2016 MKX with all-wheel drive and an optional 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine starts at $43,520, including shipping.

In comparison, the top-of-the-line 2015 MKX with a 3.7-liter V6 engine starts at $41,745, including shipping.

The second-generation MKX competes in a crowded segment that includes the Acura MDX, BMW X5 and Lexus RX 350.
