The Lincoln MKT Town Car Limousine is a one-off fleet variant of the Lincoln MKT, a full-size luxury crossover vehicle (CUV) sold under the Lincoln brand. The MKT is the second longest utility vehicle offered by the Lincoln Motor Company after the Lincoln Navigator, with the largest number of fleet alternatives.
Changes, Updates, New Features
With the return of the Lincoln Aviator, it is currently unclear if the MKT will continue to exist beyond the 2020 model year. However, Lincoln could continue offering it for its fleet applications. Except for a few notable changes such as a mild facelift, the vehicle is virtually unchanged since it was first launched in 2010.
