The 2009 Lincoln MKS is an upscale full-size luxury sedan that arrived as the flagship model of Lincoln's lineup. It gets powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine that provides 273 hp, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with either front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive. There are only two trims available, MKS FWD and MKS AWD, both offering a lavish list of standard features. The 2009 MKS includes key safety attributes such as stability control, antilock brakes, front-seat side airbags and full-length curtain-type airbags. Another key highlight of the '09 MKS model is the Sync voice-activated control for audio, navigation, and cell phone interface, and an optional touchscreen navigation system. Lincoln made notable changes this model year including the innovative capless fuel-filler system and ventilated front seats for enhanced comfort.
