Relatedly, the collision warning system flashes a notice on the windscreen, when you get too close to the vehicle in front of you; this is proof that the MKT has all the technology you need to keep your family safe. Oh yeah, I should also mention that ABS, disc brakes, all the air bags you need, stability control and traction control are all included as standard safety features.
Once I got behind the wheel of this big wagon and drove it, I was in love. You can choose from two trim levels. Both of them are AWD and run with V6 engines. My test vehicle came complete with a 3.5L twin turbo Ecoboost V6. It puts out an extremely smooth 355hp. It feels so relaxed just driving on the road, but when you put your foot down, you can really feel the power behind this engine. Especially on the highway, this big vehicle passes others with ease and total refinement.
The Ecoboost engine has been designed to provide the performance of a V8 but with the fuel economy of a V6. By combining turbocharging and direct injection, Ford has been able to get higher performance, better fuel economy and fewer emissions! The posted fuel rating for the 3.7L engine is 13L/100lm in the city and on my test vehicle it is 13.1 L/100km.
You can have the vehicle configured with a bench seat in the second row or two limousine-like bucket seats. Heated rear seats are standard, but the ventilated ones are an additional option. For ease of access to the third row seats, the second row tumbles forward at the touch of a button. Planning on taking lengthy drives with the family? You can get the Elite package that adds navigation system, THX surround-sound system with 14 speakers, LCD monitor for both rear rows and a hard drive that saves 10 gigs worth of music. For extra long trips, you can also get the optional refrigerator box to keep your drinks cold!
If you want a more upscale vehicle to use as family vehicle, I think that this MKT will impress. Whether you love or hate the exterior styling, the comfort, drive and interior layout of this MKT will make most people forget all about what’s on the outside.
