BBC - Autos - Can the MKC save Lincoln? - 0 views

  • Lexus has some fine choices, as do BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Acura, Infiniti and Volvo. Lincoln... Not so much. Until now, that is. The suave new MKC brings fresh lines – and fresh thinking – to a crowded segment.
  • Lincoln gave the base MKC a 240-horsepower 2-litre EcoBoost engine. A 2.3-litre turbo four is optional, producing a healthy 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. Notably absent (for now, at least), are six-cylinder gasoline, turbo-diesel and gasoline-electric hybrid options.
  • Occupants are never reminded what sort of engine lies under the hood. On the road, the MKC delivers exemplary ride comfort and splendid control over bumps and around curves. All good news

  • American upstart may have some difficulty attracting notice among the clamour of a noisy, contentious market.
  • Lincoln itself is in crisis at the moment
  • It will demur from an arms race with would-be German rivals who benchmark their cars against one another with lap times. The modern Lincoln aims to deliver simple dynamic precision with a relaxed ambiance.
  • Lincoln’s current MKZ sedan was a half-step in this direction, but the MKC fulfills the mission more completely
  • And the company plans to replace its larger MKX crossover and MKS full-size sedan with new models that raise the luxury bar even further.
