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.
