Which MKX is the Best?
For its combination of luxury, power and price, our choice would be an MKX with the Reserve trim and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, plus the Climate, Luxury, Driver Assist and Technology packages. AWD is great if you need the added traction, but it's not a must-have feature. The Black Label model offers the most-luxurious interior, but at a price that may be hard to swallow.
