New this year are hill-start assist, trailer-sway control, adaptive cruise control, as well as Lincoln's BLIS blind spot information system, a remarkable system that utilizes sensors to warn the driver of vehicles hiding in the LINCOLN MKX's blind spot. The LINCOLN MKX can be configured with several wheel choices including sizes up to 20". Heated second-row seats are available as are a rearview camera, rain-sensing wipers and voice-activated navigation.
