Short overhangs and pronounced wheel wells like those on the MKX can make a mid-sized model appear too stubby and aggressive, but this new Lincoln’s styling is graceful. A precisely rendered mesh chrome waterfall grille expands across the nose, framed by rectangular, exotic looking headlights. The same linear continuity exists at the rear, where a wrap-around taillight panel with high-visibility LEDs is accented with brushed-satin trim. The high beltline is accentuated by a sliver of chrome trim, and chrome adorns the top of the outside mirrors. The “utility vehicle” message is driven home with large wheel wells, an elevated ride height and bold wheel styling.
