I'm in love with mine.. I went from a Fusion to a Ecosport to a MKC reserve, so I appreciate it 1000%! Very nice vehicle.. It amazes me everytime I drive it.
I absolutely love my original 2015 model MKC 2.0 AWD. It's got PLENTY of pep when i need to merge into traffic on the highway. It's got a beautiful interior and comfort nearing vehicles 2x it's cost. And the AWD system is MORE then capable in bad weather. It handles snow like a champ folks i drove through a blizzard on the highway without ANY issues. And lastly this is NOT a "re-badged" Ford Escape by ANY MEANS...!!! Completely different vehicle folks.
Good to know as I have cross shopped cars, suvs and crossovers for over a year now and my head has been spinning. I have had a soft spot for Lincolns since I was 5, my neighbor had a 96 Town car and my father would get me to help him detail it from time to time. So when I got old enough to drive I told him if he ever sold it I wanted first dibbs, he's still hanging onto it to this day in his mid 80's.
I traded my base model 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo in 2020 on our 2019 Lincoln MKC. The GC was a decent vehicle, but being older now we didn't need the size and because I still wash & wax my cars it was getting to be more of a chore to maintain in that sense. The MKC is just right for us in size and comfort, not to mention the fact I can clean it quicker. The ride is nice, the HVAC works very well and it handles great on the highway. The only con I've found is that I can detect a tiny amount of tire noise at higher speeds, but it is not enough to be a deal breaker and if I ignore it and it's not really noticeable. Overall we're very satisfied with our MKC, and would purchase another Lincoln in future. Thanks.
Hey!! I was wondering if you had any opinion on the Lincoln MKC 2019 Reserve !? I just wanted to buy one of theme !! Is there any mechanical issues or big problems with this SUV !? Help me out please
The interior doesn't look very premium, tbh. Other than that, I'm pretty sure this is gonna be my next car. Have had an MKZ for years, and it's not given me a single problem. And its AWD system has gotten me through numerous icy/snowy conditions effortlessly. Smooth and quiet, and handles surprisingly well, too. On another note, I'm not sure what that thing you were waving around at around 3:55 was, or why the MKC has a pouch apparently specifically for it, and I'm not sure I want to know.
I'm not sure whether it's the choice of black interior with this model or that seat design in black? Either way, this interior doesn't have a "high end" look like other entries in class.
I am 6'1 230 . I test drove MKC . its nice . but this vehicle it's not for tall or heavy set people . it kinda reminds me of the totyota rav4 ....I eventually got the MKX 6 cylider 2.7 torbo . This car moves . i would never get a 4 cylinder . I believe the MKC is for people under 6 feet tall .
@BlakeSwan totally wrong to say over priced. Too much Ford...Totally wrong. However ill-informed you are welcome to your opinion. I deal with facts and data. Not intellectually lazy people.... You can buy an entry level select 2.0 ecoboost for $1500 more than a Mazda cx5 GT. The other vehicle the invites comparison is the Volvo 40. Which can not touch the select entry pricing. Yes you can push the price of the C up to high 50s, but why? when you can get into one for a very low 41k. (excluding gst) The knock i have would be gas milage. The vehicle is pure Lincoln, simply compare and contrast data to ford escape and will discern a host of dimensional differences as well as finish uniqueness.

This is the review that convinced me the 2019 MKC was the right choice as my daily. Thanks!
How do you feel about it now (2024)?

Great review as usual....I like what I’m seeing from Lincoln
Hey!! I was wondering if you had any opinion on the Lincoln MKC 2019 Reserve !?
I just wanted to buy one of theme !!
Is there any mechanical issues or big problems with this SUV !?
Help me out please
I’m driving right right now smooth as silk on the road

Ferret Face, "that thing you were waving around at around 3:55" is a camera stand. Perhaps you need to leave your hole a bit more often.

Just bought this car today in black. Very anxious about all the gadgets and push button features. Excited though.
How's maintenance? Looking to get a CPO MKC but want to invest in a reliable, long lasting suv
Did I miss it, or did he not address the real world fuel mileage?
Which model can anyone recommend for comfortable and leather seats ?
My dream car😭

I'm 6'1, it's just fine for me, plenty of room in the front. The only issue is that a tall person can't ride behind me.
Looks good outside, not so much inside.
cus of the color inside.. stupid full black
How much
starting at 45k with the 2L... 245 ch
I paid $42K for my Reserve 2.3T
Great review. Very thorough. However this MKC is so overpriced and so much Ford inside. Cheapness exudes inside
This vehicle is NOT and i repeat NOT a Ford by ANY MEANS...!!! It's far more reliable and powerful and luxurious. I should know i've owned BOTH.

Apparently you have not sat in a cheap car lately. This Lincoln is very classy compared to cars of the same price range.
Murano has smaller urning radius at 19"
Adaptive suspension = pointless trash. Just tune the basic, standard suspension to be soft and floaty and it's perfect.
Speak for yourself. I prefer how tight it is in sport mode. Choice is good.
Typical male for this car review a zonk didn’t show the spare tire. HellO???
First Mlem
Dream on, Ford and any 'gas truck maker' ------------- electric suv's coming, reman this thing!
