Lincoln MKC: A Compact SUV for Urban Dwellers

 

The Lincoln MKC is the perfect vehicle for urban dwellers. Sitting in the lineup as Lincoln's smallest SUV, the MKC is large enough to haul a small load if necessary, but small enough to fit into those tight downtown parking spaces. Urban dwellers looking for a smaller luxury vehicle that exudes class should give the Lincoln MKC serious consideration.

Examining Its Roots

Although the MKC is based on the Ford Escape, you'd be hard-pressed to recognize it. The MKC is sleeker and much more elegant than its sibling. It sports the distinctive Lincoln grille -- which always looks like it means business -- and also sets itself apart with a more powerful engine. In spite of its upscale appearance, the Lincoln MKC is still sporty enough to enjoy driving around town in. And if you have to take the boss to lunch, it works for that, too.

Inner Space

The interior of the Lincoln MKC is what you'd expect from a Lincoln: hushed, subdued, and luxurious. Plush trim, conveniently-placed controls, and a quiet ride absent of a lot of road noise make this car exceptional in its class. Sophisticated technologies keep you connected and entertained on the road, and the built-in navigation system is easy to use and gets you where you're going in short order. A leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel is a luxury you shouldn't be without, and the driver's seat memory feature makes it easy to switch drivers quickly -- without having to take time to readjust the seat.

Performance and Efficiency

The MKC was built for performance. Advanced engineering and technology results in nimble handling and controlled cornering through the use of standard Torque Vectoring Control. The MKC is also available in three separate drive modes: Comfort, Normal, and Sport. Choose the one that suits your mood or choose one based on your passengers' comfort preferences. It's all about personalization.

The MKC is also high on the energy-efficiency scale. The 2.0-liter turbo engine combined with Lincoln's Auto Start-Stop technology optimizes engine efficiency, resulting in better gas mileage. This is great news for in-town drivers on a budget.

Lots of Choices to Fit Your Lifestyle

The Lincoln MKC comes in four trim levels -- Base, Select, Reserve, and Black Label -- giving drivers a choice of trims to fit their lifestyle. Each is outfitted with different features and functionality. The Base model comes with a good selection of technology features. The Select trim adds more convenience features. The Reserve trim adds more of both technology and convenience features, and the top-of-the-line Black Label has it all and then some. Also available are several different eye-catching wheel options. With all these choices, you'll be able to outfit the car exactly the way you want it with the features that are right for you.

The Lincoln MKC serves up performance, comfort, and functionality in an elegantly-styled package. If you need a luxury compact SUV that handles well, is comfortable and quiet, and has enough options that you can customize it to your busy urban lifestyle, the Lincoln MKC is the car for you.
