“MKS EcoBoost offers a no-compromises luxury driving experience,” said Megan Gillam, marketing manager, Lincoln MKS. “With standard all-wheel drive, 355 horsepower with premium fuel, 350 lb.-ft. of torque and an estimated 25 mpg on the highway, MKS EcoBoost rewards its drivers with a spirited yet efficient ride.”

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert is new for the 2012 Lincoln MKS as part of the Navigation and Ultimate Packages.
BLIS is a feature that can detect vehicles in a driver’s blind spots during normal driving. The system can detect when another vehicle is in the defined blind spot zone. An indicator light on the corresponding sideview mirror then illuminates to alert the driver that a vehicle is in its blind spot.
Cross-traffic alert uses the same radar sensors to detect traffic approaching from the sides when backing out of parking spots. When the system detects vehicles approaching from either side up to 45 feet away, it sends an audible warning, a message center alert and a visual display in the corresponding mirror.

Fashionable new colors for the 2012 Lincoln MKS are Crystal Champagne Metallic, Cinnamon Metallic and Dark Blue Pearl Metallic.
The meticulously detailed 2012 Lincoln MKS delivers a precision-crafted environment featuring premium leather trim and real wood and metal accents. Lincoln MKS drivers enjoy the peace that comes courtesy of premium noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) control.
