The latest generation 2013 Lincoln MKS was unveiled at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. With a new exterior and interior design, and improved powertrains, Ford's 2013 Lincoln MKS hopes to bring a new dimension to the luxury sedan segment. In terms of exterior design, Lincoln's 2013 MKS features a new front fascia, with re-styled headlights and front grille, a new hood, new fog lights and a slightly modified bumper. The rear of the 2013 MKS shows new light clusters, and a modified boot lid. Lincoln says that they also modified the 2013 MKS' front fenders, and exhaust tips. The 2013 MKS is equipped with either 19- or 20-inch alloys.
