As Cerritos, Long Beach, and Anaheim drivers choose their next luxury crossover, they're bound to have a few priorities on their mind. They of course need a vehicle with excellent handling and safety. However, comfort and amenities are a serious must, too.
Â
In this comparison, our team at Norm Reeves Lincoln will be comparing two of the best crossovers on the market, the 2017 Lincoln MKX and the Cadillac SRX, to show you which comes out on top.
2017 Lincoln MKX vs Cadillac SRX: Performance
One of the reasons that the SUV has grown in popularity is because of its excellent handling. Whether you're heading off-road, or the weather is just plain dreary, an SUV can tackle almost anything.
Both the Lincoln MKX and Cadillac SRX have similar drivetrains. Each comes equipped with a V6 engine, generating just over 300 horsepower. A 6-speed automatic transmission is also standard in both vehicles.
An all-wheel drive system is available in both, too. However, the 2017 Lincoln MKX adds in extra handling features, such as Torque Vectoring, Curve Control, and the available Lincoln Drive Control with continuously controlled damping. These allow the Lincoln MKX to handle well on even the roughest roads.
Lincoln MKX vs Cadillac SRX: Amenities
A luxurious interior is a must in both these vehicles, and in terms of sheer look and feel, neither will disappoint. The SRX comes with sleek leatherette seating, while the Lincoln MKX is decked out in Lincoln luxury soft-touch seating. Features like the leather-wrapped steering wheel are staples in both, too.
However, the Lincoln MKX seems to go the extra mile with some amenities. For instance, while the SRX comes standard with an 8-way powered driver's seat, the Lincoln MKX features a heated 10-way powered driver's seat with powered lumbar support. On a long drive, features like this will make a difference.
The same can be said in terms of vehicle entertainment. The SRX comes standard with an 8-speaker audio system and USB and auxiliary jack. However, the Lincoln MKX features 10 speakers, available dual headrest DVD players, and the SYNC® 3 entertainment suite for optimum mobile connectivity.
Lincoln MKX vs Cadillac SRX: Safety
Safety is a must no matter what kind of vehicle you're driving, and the 2017 Lincoln MKX and Cadillac SRX tend to have a lot in common in this category.
Stability and traction controls are included in each vehicle, boosting your already superior handling. Post-collision safety systems have also been added to each to ensure that if you're in an accident, you'll have immediate support.

However, the Lincoln MKX seems to offer the more advanced airbag system with its Safety Canopy® and Personal Safety System™. These features combine to offer a smarter, more comprehensive airbag system that can protect any passenger, no matter their size.
