Safety - 2012 Lincoln MKT Review - Reviews - Lincoln MKT

The Lincoln MKT is a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which means it scores the top grade of Good in front, side and rear crash tests, as well as a new roof-strength test for rollovers. The only other luxury three-row crossover to receive this score is the Volvo XC90, and the non-luxury winners with three rows (besides the MKT's Ford Flex sibling) — the Dodge Journey, Subaru Tribeca and Toyota Highlander — are smaller.

The MKT can be equipped with an optional blind spot warning system, adaptive cruise control and a collision warning system.
