Overview

A strong contender in the compact luxury crossover wars, the MKC has succeeded in bringing a raft of new customers into Lincoln showrooms. In just a few years of production, the MKC has become a hot-selling staple of a brand in need of a winner.

What's New for 2017

A power liftgate is now standard on all models, as is an auto-hold feature for the braking system. The base engine's fuel-saving automatic stop-start feature is now able in conjunction with all-wheel drive.

Choosing Your Lincoln MKC

The five-passenger MKC starts out with front-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder good for 240 horsepower. The available 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder provides a boost to 285 horsepower. All-wheel drive is optional with the 2-liter and standard on models equipped with the 2.3-liter.

All-wheel drive versions come with an adaptive suspension system, which is optional with front-drive. A six-speed automatic transmission is installed across the board.

With the rear seat in place, you get about 25 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold it down, and you're looking at 53 cubic feet, which is average for this class. The cabin's standard active noise cancellation assures a quiet ride.

As before, the MKC is offered in four trim levels:

Lincoln MKC

Premiere

Carries a leatherette interior with wood or aluminum trim, heated power front seats, driver memory, keyless ignition, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a nine-speaker sound system featuring Lincoln's Sync 3 infotainment interface. Rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and a power tailgate are also standard. Outside are 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, and LED taillights. Note that the Premiere is available with the 2-liter engine only; the 2.3-liter becomes optional at the next level.

Lincoln MKC

Select

Adds leather upholstery, expanded passenger seat controls, ambient interior lighting, a cargo cover, and power-folding side mirrors with automatic dimming. The available Select Plus package tacks on a navigation system and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert. There's also a Climate package with heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, automatic heated wipers, and automatic high beams.

Lincoln MKC

Reserve

Gets the Select Plus contents as standard, plus a panoramic sunroof, a power-adjustable steering wheel wheel, and ventilated front seats. Also aboard is the MyLincoln Mobile app, which allows remote communication with the vehicle, including starting, through your smartphone. The available Technology package gives you lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, front collision warning, and an automated parking system. The Climate package remains optional.

Lincoln MKC

Black Label

Equipped like the Reserve, but with an extended leather interior in your choice of four distinctive design themes. You also get a roof rack, a black grille, 19-inch wheels, and a faux suede headliner.

All models are eligible for a premium 14-speaker sound system and 19- or 10-inch wheels.

CarsDirect Tip

The Premiere carries a friendly price, but the lack of leather upholstery and option packages makes it a bit too austere for this class. We recommend starting your build with the well-rounded Select, and moving to the Reserve if it's the only route to a feature you can't live without.

Lincoln has had a rough run of it in the past few decades, falling from grace as a true luxury automaker. In the past few years, however, Ford Motor Company has distanced its luxury arm from the Ford brand, and things are starting to look up. We feel that the MKC is definitely a step in the right direction for the rebooted luxury lineup.

Pricing and Equipment

The 2017 Lincoln MKC may not have the brand cachet of a BMW or Mercedes-Benz, but it does offer plenty of bang for the buck. The base Premier trim level starts out at just $33,645 (delivery fees included) and comes standard with an array of upscale features like:

  • Eighteen-inch wheels
  • Automatic xenon HID headlights
  • Power liftgate
  • Leather seating
  • Nine-speaker audio system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Buyers looking for even more features have a handful of other trims to pick from, including the Select ($36,645), Reserve ($40,410), and Black ($46,400). All of the above prices are for models with front-wheel drive—all-wheel drive runs an extra $2,405 to $2,410, depending on the trim.

Performance Pros

Lincoln MKC

The 2017 MKC has plenty to offer in terms of performance as its pair of EcoBoost engines give it ample power and its suspension is a delicate balance of comfort and firmness.

  • 240 to 285 horsepower from its EcoBoost engines is plenty
  • Handling is on par with most competitors, and the MKC feels confident in the corners

Performance Cons

While we enjoyed the tight handling of the MKC, the ride feels a little too rigid at times. This takes away from the feel of it being a luxury crossover. Also, real-world fuel economy is not one of the MKC’s strong points

Interior Pros

Lincoln MKC

Lincoln delivers a plush experience in the MKC with premium features and ambiance. The cabin is well-equipped, nicely styled, and peaceful, which is all we can ask of a luxury crossover. The quiet cabin makes the MKC ideal for long-distance trips, as does an array of appealing options.

Interior Cons

  • People over six feet tall will struggle to get comfortable in the back seat
  • The push-button transmission, while functional, is a little strange

The Most Pleasant Surprise

The overall build quality of the MKC was very surprising to us. Lincoln has had issues with feeling like slightly warmed-up Fords, but this crossover does a great job separating itself from its platform-mate, the Ford Escape.

The Least Pleasant Surprise

While its EPA ratings are respectable at up to 29 mpg highway, we found that its real-world fuel economy fell noticeably short of this. This is a common theme with Ford’s EcoBoost powerplants, but it is even more pronounced in the 2017 MKC.

The Bottom Line

The 2017 Lincoln MKC is a great value proposition for luxury crossover buyers as it significantly undercuts even the Acura RDX. You are, however, giving up a recognizable nameplate, and the option of a thrifty diesel or hybrid powertrain.
