The 2018 Lincoln MKC is a compact-luxury-crossover SUV that exudes a feeling of solidity, confidence and safety. Lincoln gave the new MKC a wide track and a low center of gravity, which greatly improve this compact SUV’s ability to corner and maneuver like a small sports sedan. Power from the standard turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine is smooth, and acceleration is more than enough for most buyers. Its 6-speed automatic has fewer gears than many in the class, but it’s well-tuned and a good match for the 245-horsepower engine. Front-wheel-drive versions benefit from Lincoln’s Torque Vectoring Control system that helps improve grip on any road surface. But, for the driving enthusiast, Lincoln’s Continuously Controlled Damping system is a must-have. The system’s Comfort setting is a bit too soft for our taste, but we very much approve of the Sport and Normal modes, noting that the Sport mode’s ride is quite firm.
LINCOLN PICKUP AND DELIVERY Lincoln understands that luxury is more than soft leather and a smooth ride. It’s also saving you time and inconvenience. And that’s why every 2018 Lincoln, including the new MKC, comes with complimentary vehicle pickup and delivery for all service and maintenance. A loaner car is also part of the deal. ACTIVE PARK ASSIST This optional system takes all the stress out of parallel-parking the new Lincoln MKC. With the push of a button its sensors will locate a parking spot and steer the SUV into and then later out of the space while you control the accelerator, brakes and gear selection.
Those expecting a boring, old-school interior inside the Lincoln MKC will be disappointed. The SUV’s cabin is modern, cleanly designed and packs a youthful exuberance. Lincoln has infused the MKC’s interior with the comfort and refinement associated with traditional American luxury along with the technology and inspired design expected from Japanese and German luxury brands. It’s a unique combination and it works. The Lincoln’s dash-mounted push-button shifter yields additional storage space while the infotainment system features a sizable touch screen and user-friendly knobs and buttons. The MKC’s power bucket seats offer laudable support, and the rear bench folds flat to expand cargo space, which is tight compared to some rivals.
The 2018 Lincoln MKC’s sleek profile is enhanced by a flowing roofline, bold shoulder creases and smartly sculpted body panels. Up front is Lincoln’s split-wing grille framed by high-efficiency HID headlights. Full-width LED taillights grace the new MKC’s sophisticated wraparound rear hatch. Overall the SUV’s design stakes middle ground in the compact-luxury-SUV class, sandwiched between a few radically shaped competitors and others that take a more conservative approach. Standard across the MKC lineup is a class-leading Approach Detection System that automatically illuminates the Lincoln when its owner comes within eight feet and even includes color-keyed mini-lamps in each door pull.
Every 2018 Lincoln MKC compact-luxury-crossover SUV comes dressed to impress. The entry-level Premiere model packs a bounty of power assists, active noise control and dual-zone climate control with Sync 3, onboard 4G Wi-Fi and a 9-speaker audio system with SiriusXM radio. MKC Select spec replaces Leatherette and aluminum cabin appointments with Bridge of Weir leather and premium wood, while adding ambient lighting, a 10-way-power passenger seat and auto-folding side-view mirrors. The Lincoln MKC Reserve brings heated/cooled front seats, a glass panoramic Vista Roof, navigation, the MyLincoln Mobile app for always-on remote-vehicle access, blind-spot monitoring and a power-adjustable tilt/telescoping steering column.
Buyers can personalize their 2018 Lincoln MKC with a selection of free-standing extras as well as with focused equipment packages. Highlights include Continuously Controlled Damping, all-wheel drive, a 14-speaker THX II Certified Audio system, 19- and 20-inch wheel/tire fitments, and various paint finishes. All MKC’s offer the Climate Package that adds heated steering wheel/rear seats, rain-sensing wipers and automatic high-beam headlights. A Class II Trailer Tow Package is also offered. The Select Plus Package bundles navigation with blind-spot monitoring, and the Reserve-only Technology Package brings adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Forward Sensing and Active Park Assist systems. The Black Label series represents the ultimate Lincoln experience.
The 2018 Lincoln MKC compact-luxury SUV offers front- and all-wheel drive and a choice of two turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. The base 2.0-liter is the same one used in the Ford Escape and produces an identical 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. Rated at 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque, the MKC’s optional engine is the same 2.3-liter used in the Ford Mustang. Both engines are backed by a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that offers manual-style control via paddles mounted on the steering wheel. Although the engines boast very respectable fuel-economy figures, the MKC’s maximum tow rating -- when fitted with the optional Trailer Tow Package-- is 3,000 pounds, well under the Audi Q5’s class-leading 4,400-pound figure. 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 245 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm 275 lb-ft of torque @ 3,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/28 mpg (FWD), 19/25 mpg (AWD) 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 285 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm 305 lb-ft of torque @ 2,750 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/25 mpg (AWD)
Lincoln offers the 2018 MKC compact-luxury-crossover SUV with fairly aggressive pricing. A front-drive 2.0-liter MKC Premiere opens with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just over $ 34,000 including a $ 925 destination charge. That’s about $ 3,000 less than the Acura RDX. An MKC Select pops that figure by nearly $ 3,000 with the Lincoln MKC Black Label starting close to $ 46,500. Adding AWD bumps the bottom line on any 2.0-liter model by about $ 2,500. Pricing on the MKC Select AWD with the 2.3-liter engine starts around $ 40,000 and can top $ 56,000 on the fully equipped Black Label. Maxed-out SUV rivals from Audi, Volvo, BMW and Mercedes-Benz can all top that figure by $ 5,000 or more, but they can also offer V6, turbodiesel and/or hybrid powertrain choices, enhanced towing capabilities, and stronger resale values. Check KBB’s Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area paid for the MKC.
Introduced as a concept car at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, the 2015 Lincoln MKC debuted as a production model less than a year later, at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Lincoln sprung as an independent luxury-car producer in 1917. Founded by engineering whiz Henry M. Leland after his departure from Cadillac, which he had helped co-found, the company was named Lincoln as a reminder of the admiration Leland bore for the now defunct state-leader. In a macabre coincidence, president JFK was assassinated just like Abraham Lincoln was. At the time of his death, JFK was being driven in a Lincoln Continental limousine.
However, before such drama occurred, Lincoln was a fairly small company that supplied Liberty aircraft engines for the Army during WWI. Having teamed up with son Wilfred, Leland converted his factory to manufacturing luxury automobiles right after the war. Despite Leland's skill and potential of his vehicles, the factory encountered several design-related obstacles and financial trouble that could not be overcome. Forced into bankruptcy, Leland sold his company to Ford in 1922 for $ 8 million.
Soon after the Ford takeover, Lincoln's first series of automobiles would enter mass production. Under Ford, Lincoln's styling problems were solved as were the financial issues experimented before. Little changes or none were made to Leland's original engines. Coupled with production cost cuts, this would allow the company to toll out some 5,500 vehicles in December, 1922.
As of 1923, newer body styles appeared, many of them having been the result of partnerships with coachbuilders such as Fleetwood and Brunn. This lead to the appearance of a diversified range of vehicles comprised of large sedans and limousines that could accommodate as many as 7 passengers. Despite the fairly big price tags these special coach-built vehicles came with, Lincoln sales did not plummet. They did just the contrary, registering a spectacular 45% increase over the previous years with 7,875 vehicles sold.
The 1924's brought forth the release of the famous Flyers that were extensively used by US Police Departments. The cars premiered some features that weren't introduced on private models until 2 years after. Two wheel disc breaks, weapon racks, armored windows and Police whistles were among the many 'accessories' Flyers came equipped with.
Probably the most famous car ever made by Lincoln sprouted in 1932 Eugene T. “Bob” Gregorie's drawing board. The later release of the Zephyr in 1936 smashed open the gates for the release of the Continental. The latter was actually a modified 1938 Zephyr Coupe whom Gregorie had sectioned and added a vertical tire mount to. The car became so successful that it sold in over 5000 units until production halted in 1948.
However, the Continental would not go down for good. It was later resuscitated through the Mark II model. By 1955, the Mark II could be purchased for a stunning $ 10,000, as much as a Rolls Royce cost those days.
Later designs, such as the Town Car and the bulky Navigator, aided Lincoln in becoming the best sold luxury car brand in the US by 1998. After a brief change of ownership between 1998 and 2002 when Lincoln belonged to the Premier Automotive Group, the company returned on Ford premises where it can still be found today.
Despite its tradition as a luxury car manufacturer and presidential limousine supplier, the company has experienced a severe setback in the last few years, having lost against Asian and European imports. This is mostly due to the lack of new models, issue that Ford hopes to solve by reinventing the brand. Lincoln's ascension is still unspooling through the release of models such the MKZ and MKX.
2018 Lincoln MKC Consumer Reviews

2016 Lincoln MKC
"Battery dies every 6 months"
I bought the car with 10,000 miles on it. Although I love the car, the battery has been replaced 5 times in 2.5 years. Service always says it is a bad cell. 5 times? I can’t put up with this issue, and no one admits to it except on MKC forums.

2018 Lincoln MKC
"Great Small and Very Stylish SUV"
We purchased the MKC Select at a Dodge Dealership after having looked at other options in our price range. We were about ready to leave the dealer because they didn't have a car in our price range that grabbed our attention. As we were walking by I spotted this beautiful MKC that looked like it was in mint condition. It only had about 4,000 miles on it as the previous owner wanted a Jeep and traded it in after only 6 months. Her loss was our gain! We found this car to not only look absolutely beautiful but was very different than other cars in its class. The front grill, back lights, and thoughtful touches were just what we were looking for. The back seats are a little small if you have large adults with you a lot but in our case, we hardly ever have anyone with us. The seats just seem to melt to your body and conform to your favorite position. I personally like the built in Sirius, Navigation, and Connectivity of the car. I use the built -in WiFi that comes in very handy for longer road trips. There is a cost to connect it but it is useful to me. The performance is just great, I have the 2.0L engine which has surprising power. I have the cross-traffic blind spot function as well as the backup camera. I wonder what the parallel parking feature is like?
If you are looking for something that stands out and has most of the luxury items you need, this car should be at the top of your list. It is very quiet, handles bumps with ease, and nothing rattles at all. In my mind the only cons are the back seat size, and the smaller gas tank. I can only go a little over 300 miles on a full tank of gas. It gets reasonable gas mileage but just doesn't have a large tank. Other than that, I am happy as can be and would highly recommend this car to anyone!
