Lincoln
MKC
The
Lincoln MKC is a unique creation from the ground up with an assortment of
first-in-class features. Its all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine offers
excellent performance while its ingeniously implemented wraparound liftgate is
an example of masterful customer convenience.
Arriving
on the heels of the all-new and successful 2013 Lincoln MKZ sedan, MKC becomes
the second new vehicle in the brand's plans to introduce four new luxury
vehicles by 2016.
With
MKC, Lincoln continues its move toward targeting a younger, more diverse
customer. The vehicle also positions Lincoln to resonate with drivers in
desirable markets on the East and West coasts.
Lincoln
MKC presents a sleek, sculpted body that helps it stand out among peers. Its high
beltline and low shoulders create a sturdy, athletic presence, while features
such as soft exterior lighting, pedestal side-view mirrors and an available
panoramic, all-glass Vista Roof give the vehicle a luxurious, sophisticated
personality.
The
unique design also carries through to the interior, where craftsmanship and
high-tech combine to offer a warm, luxurious environment. An architecturally
unique instrument panel showcases Lincoln's signature push-button gear shifter,
which provides an open, inviting interior space. Plush leathers with French
stitching, and available Bridge of Weir leather and real wood trim accentuate
MKC's elegance and grace.
The
enhanced THX II Certified Audio System, an industry-first featuring
THX-distributed bass technology and 14 right-, center- and left-slot speaker
assemblies, is available. The state-of-the-art audio system delivers a rich,
immersive surround sound experience that reproduces music as it was mixed in
the studio.
SYNC with MyLincoln Touch enables drivers to personalize MKC by using
voice-activated commands or simple touch controls on the class-exclusive 8-inch
touch screen. Knobs and buttons on the center console provide additional and
easy access to control the air conditioning and sound system.
When
equipped with the all-new 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, Lincoln MKC offers a
projected 275 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 300 lb-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm,
according to preliminary test data. Class-exclusive Active Grille Shutters are
designed to help improve Lincoln MKC fuel efficiency at highway speeds.
Lincoln
MKC comes standard with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder turbocharged engine,
projected to produce 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 270 lb-ft. of torque at
3,000 rpm, according to preliminary test data. This makes Lincoln MKC an
all-EcoBoost vehicle.
Lincoln
MKC comes standard with front-wheel drive and 18-inch wheels. Drivers can
upgrade to Lincoln's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive and 19-inch wheels for
enhanced cornering and handling and an even sportier look.

Damping. Drivers can use Lincoln Drive Control to select from sport, comfort
and normal drive modes to cater to their driving mood. CCD constantly monitors
