The 2015 Lincoln MKC also was named Luxury Crossover Vehicle by TAWA.
“We are delighted that the Texas Auto Writers Association recognized the
all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC as the best in two categories among an
outstanding group of competitors,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of
Lincoln. “In particular, to be named Crossover Utility Vehicle of Texas
is a tremendous honor.”
The 2015 Lincoln MKC seamlessly blends performance, craftsmanship and
technology to meet the needs of luxury buyers who want a more personal
experience.
“These awards for MKC, following momentum from the all-new MKZ as the
start of this latest chapter for Lincoln, demonstrate our plan is on the
right track,” said Galhotra. “We’re encouraged that our latest vehicle
has been recognized so soon after its debut at such an important and
influential event. This great news, coupled with the recent arrival of
the dramatically refreshed 2015 Lincoln Navigator, show Lincoln’s focus
on delivering outstanding vehicles for the luxury customer.”
The Lincoln MKC is the second of four all-new Lincoln vehicles due by
2016. With a powerful, efficient all-EcoBoost® engine lineup
complemented by an array of premium amenities and technologies
prioritizing comfort and convenience, Lincoln MKC targets a growing
audience of luxury consumers with unique needs.
Athletically graceful exterior, premium interior
The sleek, sculpted body, high beltline and low shoulders create a
sturdy, athletic presence, enhanced by a low center of gravity for
responsive handling and cornering stability. At the rear, a distinctive
wraparound liftgate combines form with function in a fluid design.
Created by a hydroforming process, the result is a clean appearance,
free of typical lines and joints, with a wide opening for easy access to
the cargo area.
Throughout the cabin, available open-pore wood trim, door-panel
stitching, and exclusive Bridge of Weir® Deepsoft
leather-trimmed seats accentuate Lincoln MKC’s elegance and grace.
Deepsoft leather is a non-embossed, chromium-free leather that undergoes
a 16-hour softening process to give it a supple, natural feel.
Introducing the 2.3-liter: The newest EcoBoost engine
The available 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder achieves 285 horsepower
and 305 lb.-ft. of torque with 93-octane fuel. It has an EPA-estimated
rating of 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway/21 mpg combined. The standard
2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost delivers 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft.
of torque, the most torque per liter in its class. The EPA-estimated
rating is 20 mpg city/29 mpg highway/23 mpg combined (front-wheel drive).
Thoughtful technology enhances the experience
Available Lincoln Drive Control customizes the driving experience to
deliver an exhilarating ride. Lincoln Drive Control consists of

active noise control. Drivers can select either Sport or Comfort mode,
as well as the standard Normal setting.
The Lincoln MKC offers always-on, built-in connectivity through an
available embedded modem. Via a smartphone app that communicates with
