Lincoln MKT earns top safety rating

Lincoln MKT Adds to Ford's Industry-Leading Number of Five-Star Crash Test Ratings

The 2010 Lincoln MKT has earned top ratings for frontal and side-impact crash tests conducted from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Lincoln's three-row luxury crossover previously earned a 2009 "Top Safety Pick" award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Ford Motor Company has more Top Safety Pick ratings and more U.S. government five-star ratings than any other automaker.
The all-new MKT is attracting a balanced mix of Lincoln loyalists and new customers with its array of standard and optional crash-protection, crash-avoidance and driver-awareness features in addition to distinctive design, interior spaciousness, craftsmanship and fuel economy.
The Lincoln MKT features Ford's Trinity Front Crash Body Architecture.
Lincoln MKT also includes Side Protection And Cabin Enhancement Architecture (SPACE) to optimize side-impact occupant protection.
Lincoln MKT also features Ford's Personal Safety System(TM), combining multiple technologies to tailor the air bag package and safety belt functions to the individual passenger and the accident circumstances.
The system can identify variables, such as severity of the crash, weight of the individual passenger and safety belt usage, to adjust air bag deployment force.
