The 2011 Lincoln MKX recently received final fuel economy certification, achieving (US) 19 mpg city and (US) 26 mpg highway, with a combined fuel economy of (US) 21 mpg, topping all competitors, including the Lexus RX350, Cadillac SRX and BMW X5, with not only horsepower but now fuel efficiency as well. The horsepower of the 2011 Lincoln MKX has increased to 305 a 15 per cent increase compared to the outgoing product, while torque has increased 12 per cent to 280 lb/ft. Lincoln's first-ever hybrid - the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid - was recently named the most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America, delivering 41 mpg in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. This tops the vehicle's nearest competitor - the Lexus HS 250h - by 6 mpg. The 2010 Lincoln MKT with EcoBoost continues to provide better gas highway fuel economy ­ (US) 21 mpg - than any other allwheel-drive vehicle in its class. For the 2011 MKX, engineers integrated the new 3.7-liter V6 engine, which uses twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) to increase the vehicle's power and fuel economy. The broadened torque curve allows the intake valve to be advanced, delivering about a 10 per cent power increase compared to non-Ti-VCT engines. Variable timing control of both the intake and exhaust camshafts helps extract more energy from each drop of fuel, leading to a 4.5 per cent improvement in fuel economy.
