Not sure about the pricing as I'm not sure Lincoln can command near BMW pricing without heavy incentives.
For starters I wouldn't price it above another "premium" competitor - the Acura RDX.
Here is a price comparison including the higher output 2.3L vs V6 in the Acura:
MKC 2.3 AWD: $40,860
RDX AWD: $36,295
Add features:
X3 xdrive28i with cold weather, premium, and technology packages: $48,625
MKC 2.3 AWD with Reserve package: $44,565
RDX AWD with Technology package: $39,995
The Lincoln offers some creature comforts not found on the Acura but I don't think that will be enough to justify the price.
I personally dislike Honda/Acura design, and quite enjoy the MKC aesthetic, so the RDX is not really a choice for me.
But will others give the RDX a hard look? Lower price, along with Acura reliability and resale value, should make the RDX a strong rival. If you're the type willing to spend more than an RDX, then why not a Porsche Macan, which is reportedly superb? Again the Porsche is not my cup of tea either, but I'm putting myself in the shoes of other buyers here...
