City-sized but strong 

If you’re looking for a luxury crossover SUV that’s spacious enough to fit your family, but small enough to easily navigate city streets, the 2014 Lincoln MKX is a great option. The SUV seats five people and offers plenty of cargo space. A V6 engine is standard, and all-wheel drive is an available option. The 2014 Lincoln MKX is packed with standard features including heated and ventilated front seats and leather upholstery. A panoramic sunroof, heated back seats, and other luxury touches are available.
