Front- and all-wheel-drive versions of the MKX see gains in their EPA-estimated gas mileage for 2010. Front-wheel-drive models are now rated at 18/25 mpg city/highway — a 1-mpg improvement in both figures — and the all-wheel-drive MKX now gets 17/23 mpg, which is up 2 mpg in the city and 1 mpg on the highway. In addition, there's a new Midnight Limited Edition Package that includes Tuxedo Black metallic paint, a body-colored grille, 22-inch aluminum rims and a black interior.
