The front seats are of the heated and cooled 10-way power-adjustable variety. The rear seats split 60/40 and recline. Of course the windows and locks are power-actuated, remote keyless entry is standard, as is an auto-dimming rearview mirror and four power-points. Standard safety features for 2011 include antilock disc brakes, a full array of airbags, traction control and electronic stability control. 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.
