A name synonymous with luxury, Lincoln Motor Company has been churning out fresh, intriguing models that rival higher-priced vehicles of the same caliber. If you’re in the market for a 2014 Lincoln, consider the specs and benefits of the entire range before deciding on the perfect model for your family.
Sedan Options
2014 Lincoln sedans consist of the MKS and MKZ. The MKS is Lincoln’s full-sized luxury sedan with a starting MSRP of around $40,000. This refreshing design boasts both performance and efficiency. In addition, it is available in two trims: the base sedan and the EcoBoost. Depending on the trim, the MKS gets 17-19 MPG in the city and 25-28 on the highway. It features a spacious interior, exceptional standard features, and has been top-rated in crash test scores, making it both a safe and stylish choice. The 2014 model also saw an addition of power from previous models, which is a major benefit cited among reviewers.
The MKZ is the mid-size luxury sedan that features a sportier look. The starting MSRP for the 2014 model is around $35,000 and is available in front-wheel and all-wheel drive. Enjoy a fuel-efficiency of 22 MPG in the city and 31-33 on the highway. Reviewers for this model favor its unique styling, over-sized panoramic roof, and quiet ride, but claim that some drivers may not like the touch-sensitive control panels. Many drivers, however, find it better suited to their driving style than the dash-mounted touchscreen available on the 2014 Mazda3, but this is simply a personal preference and not a drawback for either the Lincoln or the Mazda.
Crossovers
The 2014 Lincoln range also offers two CUVs, or crossover utility vehicles, namely the full-size luxury MKT and the mid-size MKX. Starting at about $43,000, the MKT Wagon features heated seats, Bluetooth, navigation, and other high-tech options that set it in a class by itself. A fuel-efficient turbocharged V6 option is available, and the model’s MPG is 16 in the city and 23 on the highway.
The MKX seats five and currently starts at around $38,000. Being smaller than the MKT, the MKX achieves 18 MPG in the city and 26 on the highway, which is a point to consider before deciding which CUV suits your needs. It is well equipped with a comfortable interior and boasts a smooth, quiet ride, which is something for which all Lincolns in the 2014 range are known. A Limited Edition package is available and offers a fresh design from previous models. New for 2015, however, is the compact MKC, which could rival the MKX in popularity, so be sure to consider this new addition to the line of CUVs.
Sport Utility Vehicles
Lincoln’s popular SUV is the Navigator, which is available in four configurations: the base model, the base model four-wheel drive, the luxury model, and the luxury four-wheel drive, with the Navigator L featuring an extended wheelbase. This versatile SUV has a starting MSRP of approximately $56,000 and gets an estimated 13-14 MPG in the city and 18-20 on the highway. This four-door design features a flex-fuel V8 engine, heated seats, and three rows of comfortable seating. The third row even boasts power-folding capabilities. This plush ride is generally less expensive than comparable luxury SUVs, making luxury more affordable than ever.
No matter your driving style, Lincoln has something to offer everyone. For expert luxury, functionality, precision, and affordability, the 2014 Lincoln range stands up to its most popular rivals with poise and elegance. Test drive your favorite model to ensure it is the best fit for you and your family.
