For 2019, the Lincoln MKT eliminates last year's base V6 engine, optional rear entertainment system and inflatable rear safety belts. In return, all models now come standard with an adaptive suspension, a panoramic sunroof, premium audio and advanced safety features. The Premiere trim name has also been dropped.
Pros Generous number of standard features Turbocharged V6 provides strong acceleration
Cons Many safety features are optional Dated interior design and controls Tight rear headroom and luggage space
The 2019 Lincoln MKT ranked #22 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Lincoln MKT has a score of 7.4 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 60 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Powerful engine Spacious cabin and cargo hold User-friendly infotainment system
Cons Poor fuel economy Dull handling Outdated cabin design
As you might expect from looking at them side by side in a parking lot, the Audi Q5 and the Audi SQ5 are two versions of the same small luxury crossover SUV. The SQ5 offers more power and some extra performance along with a few added luxury touches to help it feel a bit more premium.
Pros Impressively comfortable ride for a sport-tuned SUV Generous space for passengers Luxurious but restrained interior design Nimble handling
Cons Lack of touchscreen functionality limits smartphone integration usefulness
Thankfully, the Audi SQ5 is a lot more comfortable than most of them. Its standard adaptive suspension will let you choose between sporty or more comfortable settings, but the optional adaptive air suspension irons out bumps better than any other sporty SUV. It’ll also lower the car’s ride height at speed to make it more stable and you can raise it by 45mm if you fancy a spot of light off-roading.
Pros Very fast Great build quality Spacious interior
Cons Expensive options Diesel engine only Pricey compared to alternatives
The SQ5 displays great balance between driving dynamics and comfort, proving its worth in a competitive class.
Pros Numerous standard interior features, well-balanced ride, surprisingly fuel efficient.
Cons Passenger volume and cargo space is lacking, bland exterior design, falls short to its rivals in terms of performance.
