The Lincoln MKS powertrain delivers power and fuel economy in equal measure.

Under the hood of the new Lincoln MKS lies the exclusive new 3.7-liter V-6 engine, offering a comfortable drive and fuel efficiency. The powertrain was derived from the proven 3.5-liter V-6 found in the Lincoln MKX, which was voted one of Ward’s 10-Best Engines for 2007. In less than a year after launch, the Lincoln MKS will also be the first vehicle to offer Ford’s EcoBoost, a new gasoline turbo direct injection engine technology that offers the power of a V-8 engine with the fuel efficiency of a V-6.

The strong, die-cast aluminum block and lightweight four-valve heads assure drivers smooth operation at high RPMs. Meanwhile, the premium engine delivers 273 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque. The increased torque gives MKS customers improved performance when it’s needed most – accelerating and passing.

The 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift means that MKS owners can count on smoother shifts, better fuel economy and the option to manually select gears. When it comes to filling-up, the Easy Fuel Capless Fuel Filler System automatically seals the gas tank shut, reducing evaporative emissions that cause smog, pollution and global warning.
