We’ve captured some revealing shots of Lincolns’ next generation MKX mid-size crossover in production guise, following the release of a concept model earlier this year.

We won’t blame you for thinking we made a mistake and posted pictures of the MKC, but we will blame the Germans for the prevalence of the one-style-fits-all philosophy in the automotive industry.

Compared to the MKX study that Lincoln showed in Beijing this past April, only a few things have changed, such as the addition of black plastic trim on the lower parts of the body, the bigger and less fancy headlights and the down to earth solutions for the door mirrors and handles.

Under the sheetmetal, you’ll find the same underpinnings as the latest Ford Edge, with the MKX to likely use a 2.0-liter or 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-pot as its base engine, and a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 with over 300hp at the top, all paired to a six-speed automatic transmission with available four-wheel drive.

The MKX will get the MyLincoln Touch infotainment system as well as a high-end audio system from Harman International’s Revel brand.

We should get our first look at the 2016 MKX at the Detroit Motor Show in January.
