The Lincoln Motor Company is delivering Lincoln MKC
Black Label.
The MKC’s exterior remains standard once customers
opt for the Black Label treatment, with Lincoln explaining the crossover’s
appearance "is purposely understated" for this package. However,
buyers will get to choose from a range of exclusive colors and wheels.
The Black Label palette includes six colors, which
come at no additional cost. Black Tie, Confidential White and Crystal Silver
are the core colors, while customers looking for lively hues can go with either
the deep red called Chroma Flame, the rich brown dubbed Chroma Couture, or a
vibrant blue that goes by the name Notorious.
The interior of the MKC is where all the Black Label
magic happens. Lincoln promises more premium materials and exquisite
craftsmanship in four different themes inspired from various sources, including
fashion, food, luxury travel and architecture.
Unlike the cabin, the engine compartment is as stock
as it gets, meaning customers have two drivetrains to choose from. The standard
unit is the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder EcoBoost that’s found in the Ford Escape
Ford Escape. Rated at 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, the
four-banger can be had with either front- or all-wheel-drive.
The premium for ticking the "Black Label"
box on the MKC is US$ 5,995 on top of the model’s base MSRP. For reference, the
current range-topper, the MKC Reserve, retails from US$ 40,930 while the
entry-level MKC Premiere is priced from US$ 33,995. With this fee, you also get a
complementary loaner car if your MKC is in the shop, free pickup and delivery
if you live within 30 miles of a Black Label dealer, once-a-year detailing,
anytime car washes and a Culinary Collection membership.
