Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) revealed that the 2017 Lincoln MKX and 2017 Lincoln MKZ are 2017 Top Safety Picks. The Lincoln MKX* was named a winner in the Midsize Luxury SUV category, while the Lincoln MKZ* was a winner in the Midsize Luxury Car category.
Both models offer an available suite of intuitive technologies that assist drivers, like Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, an auto-hold feature that keeps the vehicle completely stopped and a lane-keeping system. They're also outfitted with Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with cross-traffic alert. This system uses radar sensors to detect the presence of another vehicle in the vehicle's blind spots, and alerts the driver with lights in the side view mirrors.
The IIHS notes that to receive a 2017 Top Safety Pick a vehicle must earn "good" ratings in all five crashworthiness tests, plus an "advanced" or "superior" rating for front crash prevention.
*With optional front crash protection.
