The crossover market may seem inundated with too many
choices, but when Lincoln comes out with the 2016 MKC, everyone makes room for
it. It’s not your usual Lincoln in the sense that it seems to cater to a much
younger--but equally capable--demographic.
It’s just as high-powered, too, which is the only thing you
would expect with anything from the Lincoln brand.
Demanding Attention
The familiar split-wing grille makes a reappearance for the
2016 MKC, while the tailgates are also added in as the two-piece design
smoothly integrates into the body.
Meanwhile, the interior delivers a much spacier cabin,
ensuring utmost comfort even during the longest and toughest of rides. The
Bridge of Weir leather and genuine wood trim successfully evokes that
sophisticated feel.
Further upping the ante are the technology upgrades
implemented this year, such as the MyLincoln Touch infotainment system, with
large, ergonomic tuning and volume knobs, and a kiosk-like center console that
houses the climate controls switches.
More than Skin Deep
That’s just on the surface, though. The 2016 Lincoln MKC
runs on a new 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, easily
coming up with 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft torque. For its size, it’s pretty
quick and nimble.
You’d expect it to have all sorts of inconvenient roaring,
but actually, it does have a rather effective noise insulation, coupled with an
active noise cancellation feature, making for an otherwise very quiet and
peaceful ride. It’s also vibration-free, thanks to its balance shaft system.
