Welcome to the forum!!

I saw your question about the window vents, but do not have them so couldn't help you.

I hope you enjoy your MKC. So far, except for the Sirius radio issue and a small glitch in the Welcome lighting (that we fixed ourselves thanks to this forum), ours has been great. We are crossing our fingers that it stays that way.

There does not seem to be any any interior or exterior differences besides colors and perhaps the placement of the start button

Premium, Select, and Reserve "packages" have different levels of "included" items and add on options

Example the Power lift gate withOUT hands free is now included in the middle tier Select package as is the choice of White Sands/Espresso interior colors

Lots of color options were changed and they are discussed in another thread on this forum

Biggest changes are;
A newer 2.0L twin scroll Turbo EcoBoost engine, the 2.3L (probably by a final drive ratio change) is now rated to tow 3000Lbs.
And the SYNC 3 software requires new electronic hardware inside the magic boxes so it is not backward compatible for folks with the 2015 models

This is interesting because checking inventory in our area, Lincoln seemed more apt to add the climate package to the Select models rather than the power lift-gate...and we live in a moderate climate where the heated steering wheel and heated rear seats would rarely be used.

I think the power liftgate is a good add-on to the standard select package. We wanted it on our Select and found one in the exterior/interior color combo that we wanted, but finding that configuration was not easy which is why we bought when we did. I have been checking inventory since we bought and still have not found a white on white select that has nothing more than the select plus and power liftgate.

I also think that the addition of the other interior colors for the Select is a great idea. In the 2015 there weren't many choices for people with kids.
