Each year, Consumer Guide Automotive editors analyze, compare and
evaluate numerous vehicles by driving and extensively testing all major
models in 20 vehicle categories. Those models that best fit the needs of
the consumer are recognized with a Best Buy accolade.
“MKC is the vehicle Lincoln watchers have been waiting for. It’s great
to see this historic brand with one of the best products in a hot and
expanding segment,” said Tom Appel, publisher, Consumer Guide Automotive.
The 2015 Lincoln MKC seamlessly blends performance, craftsmanship and
technology to meet the needs of luxury buyers who want a more personal

“We are delighted that the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC has been recognized
as the Best Buy among Premium Compact Crossover SUVs by Consumer Guide
Automotive,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of Lincoln. “We continue to
be encouraged that our latest all-new vehicle has been recognized with
tremendous honors so soon after its debut.”
Earlier this year, the 2015 Lincoln MKC was named the Crossover Utility
Vehicle of Texas by the Texas Auto Writers Association at its annual
Truck Rodeo.
“This has been a busy year for Lincoln with the momentum from the 2015
MKZ, warm reception for MKC, an engaging new advertising campaign and
the arrival of the dramatically refreshed 2015 Lincoln Navigator,”
Galhotra said. ”We’ll have even more news to share in the very near
future.”
