Lincoln MKT 2010
The 2010 Ford Lincoln MKT mule has been spotted out on the streets and we are only too happy to see it. Ford had told us that the MKT would not look anything like the Ford Flex that it is related to and we are happy to see that they were right.
The well-covered MKT development vehicle looks an awful lot like the MKT concept from the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. Up front the new Lincoln split grille is visible under the bra, along with the same headlight shape as the concept. The concept’s love it or hate it belt-line also appears to be carry over to production, as well as the curvy C-pillar.
The production MKT also appears to have a glass roof, though it doesn’t look as dramatic as the concept. One thing the MKT appears to have in common with the Flex is its relatively low ride height and massive wheels, which helps the Lincoln crossover keep the retro Ford’s wagon-like stance.
The MKT is expected to hit production next year with power coming from Lincoln’s exclusive 3.7L V6 that also does duty in the new MKS sedan. Ford has also announced that the MKT will receive an Ecoboost engine, which should give the unique-looking crossover upwards of 340 horsepower.
