Lincoln has been struggling over the past while, but the MKC joins the MKZ in Lincoln's push to come back from the brink. The MKC borrows from Ford's platforms and mechanical parts, but it is so much more than just an upscale Ford Escape.
The MKC looks completely unique. It has wider front and rear tire tracks, a lower center of gravity and suspension elements adapted to a more dynamic driving style. Another defining feature is the tailgate with a larger opening which is molded all in one piece using a process called hydroforming that was developed by a Japanese company named Emino.
Another cool feature is the smart key that senses when you are appraoching the vehicle. At that point, the headlights, light, door handles and the Lincoln logo at the foot side skirts are turned on.
The advent of the Lincoln MKC sees Lincoln getting a step ahead of its rival Cadillac which currently does not offer a SUV in its lineup other than the full size Escalade. The question now is, will the MKC be able to steal some sales away from its German rivals the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLK and BMW X3.
Do you think the MKC is enough to take on the Germans?
