Since its introduction in 2014, Lincoln MKC has introduced more
people to the Lincoln brand than any other vehicle, with nearly
half of all clients coming from other brands. Women account for
more than half of MKC sales and, in turn, are driving growth in
this luxury segment, which has increased 29 percent over the past
decade.
“Our redesigned Lincoln MKC offers style, substance and
technologies that create an effortless ownership experience,” says
Kumar Galhotra, president, The Lincoln Motor Company. “We recognize
it takes a lot to attract a buyer from other luxury competitors,
but the Lincoln MKC has that kind of appeal and, we believe that
the new MKC will capture even more luxury clients.”
Eye-catching from any angle
The 2019 Lincoln MKC exemplifies the refined new face of
Lincoln. The signature grille evokes a sense of confidence, and
beautifully detailed LED headlamps illuminate the road with crisp
lighting designed to minimize eyestrain. A new rear design features
attractive chrome highlights that enhance the appearance from all
angles.
LED lighting in the lower front body and tail lamps subtly
illuminates to greet clients upon approach, and a luminous Lincoln
welcome mat appears beneath both front doors to greet driver and
passenger. During the day, an available panoramic roof fills the
cabin with natural light.
Inside, the cabin is quiet, warm and inviting, replete with
plush, soft-to-the-touch materials. Lincoln touches are apparent in
every detail, from the available heated and cooled seats to
standard Wi-Fi and USB ports throughout, allowing everyone to stay
connected.
For those seeking a more personalized experience, Lincoln Black
Label is available for the new MKC. Lincoln Black Label not only
provides the best level of materials in specially curated designer
themes, but also offers a host of membership privileges. These
include annual vehicle detailing, anytime carwashes, and access to
a list of select restaurants where noted chefs will provide a
curated dining experience.
The three Lincoln Black Label themes for MKC have drawn
inspiration from the realms of the arts, travel, fine food and
culture. The themes are:
- Modern Heritage: A timeless ensemble of
elegance without ostentation, Modern Heritage is perfect for those
who appreciate a clean, modern aesthetic. This theme features seats
in Vianca White Venetian leather finished with the Lincoln Black
Label star insignia, with Argento wood accents.
- Indulgence: A rich, sumptuous interior,
this theme is designed to match the most refined tastes. Visually
enticing, Indulgence features surfaces trimmed in Venetian leather
and Alcantara® cloth, in tempting hues like Truffle and Ganache,
finished with accents from rich Ziricote wood – the same as you
might find in the world of yachts or musical instruments.
- Center Stage: Inspired by the fashion
of the theater, Center Stage captures the excitement of a curtain
skirting across the main stage on opening night. It features an
exclusive diamond-L perforation pattern on the Alcantara cloth
inserts, finished with precisely stitched Foxfire Red piping.
Exotic wood accents enhance the architectural design, while Jet
Black Venetian leather accented by Firefox Red adds a dramatic
flair.
In line with Lincoln’s commitment to offering inspired interior
environments, the new Lincoln MKC also will feature a rich Rialto
Green cabin with black ash wood accents, available on Reserve
models. This new deep green is inspired by the vibrant tones
emanating from the world of high fashion.
Technology that inspires confidence
Because today’s luxury clients expect to be constantly
connected, the new Lincoln MKC offers standard SYNC® 3 with both
Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, enabling occupants
to manage audio, phone, navigation and more from the vehicle
touchscreen or steering wheel-mounted controls.
A suite of driver-assist technologies designed to inspire
confidence includes Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection.
This system is designed to reduce the severity of – and in some
cases eliminate – frontal collisions, including those involving
pedestrians. It uses advanced radar and camera sensors to provide a
collision warning to the driver. If the driver does not respond in
time, the system can automatically apply the brakes.
Available active park assist can reduce parking anxiety by
helping guide drivers in to and out of tight parallel-parking
spaces. Other available technologies include lane-keeping alert and
Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert.
Luxury meets performance
Three technologies – turbocharging, direct injection and twin
independent variable camshaft timing – are responsible for a
powerful engine offering for the new Lincoln MKC. This twin-scroll
turbocharged 2.3-liter engine producing 285 horsepower and 305
lb.-ft. of torque allows Lincoln MKC to offer an available towing
capacity of 3,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Both the powerful turbocharged 2.3-liter and the standard
turbocharged 2.0-liter engine delivering 245 horsepower are
designed to be exhilarating and fuel efficient. Either option can
be paired to Lincoln’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which
delivers enhanced all-weather capabilities and sportier
performance.
Effortless ownership
Effortless ownership with the new Lincoln MKC is offered through
the Lincoln Way™ app. Lincoln Way enables clients to start, lock,
unlock and locate their MKC, as well as schedule remote starts to
allow the vehicle to heat or cool to comfortable levels. Lincoln
Concierge, which allows owners to schedule Pickup and Delivery for
vehicle service, as well as find and reserve parking, is also
available through the app.
The brand’s increased focus on offerings that provide an
effortless ownership experience now includes standard Pickup and
Delivery. The service can pick up a client’s vehicle at an agreed
location, then take it to a dealership for service, providing a
complimentary Lincoln loaner vehicle. Once service is complete,
clients can arrange for their washed and serviced vehicle to be
returned to them at a location of their choice.
Lincoln remains the only luxury automaker to provide Pickup and
Delivery as a standard service for all vehicles to save its clients
time and effort.
Galhotra says Lincoln’s commitment to being a world-class brand
goes well beyond its exceptional vehicles.
“For Lincoln, every client is unique and we want every element
of the Lincoln shop, buy and own process to be a truly personalized
and effortless experience,” he says.
The new 2019 Lincoln MKC will be available at Lincoln dealers
this summer.
