Today, everyone’s concerned about safety and rightly so. That’s why Island Lincoln, a leading Lincoln dealer in Merritt Island, FL, is proud to announce that the Lincoln MKX* has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).Having previously received a “Good” rating (given to vehicles that can support at least four times its weight), the newly redesigned for 2011 roof structure of the Lincoln MKX has been significantly improved, making it substantially stronger. Front and rear side curtain airbags, torso and front airbags along with a rollover sensor that signals and releases the curtain airbags in the event of an imminent rollover, reinforces the IIHS selection.
Additionally, Ford has introduced new technology in their quest to improve upon safety of their vehicles. BLIS, which is short for Blind Spot Information System, detects and alerts drivers of vehicles in their blind spots, making this a revolutionary tool that will help prevent accidents and make for safer highways. Even better is the fact that BLIS, easily a high-price optional feature, now comes standard on the Lincoln MKX.
If you’re in the Merritt Island, Orlando or Melbourne, Florida areas, stop by Island Lincoln and take the new Lincoln MKX out for a spin. See for yourself why this is a phenomenal car to both own and drive. Rest assured that not only will you be driving a quality-made Lincoln vehicle, but you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that you and your precious cargo will be all the more safer.
