With a starting MSRP in the low 30,000s, it’s easy to see that Lincoln is targeting younger buyers with its new MKC SUV. However, despite offering a sleek and stylish overall design, the front of the vehicle still maintains the attention-grabbing split-wing grille that’s been featured on Lincoln vehicles for years now. Also, while 18-inch wheels come standard on the MKC, consumers who opt for the top-level Black Label version will get larger 19-inch rims. Upgrading to the Black Label model will also add a multimode adaptive suspension to the MKC that further improves driving dynamics. A few of the exterior color options offered with the 2017 Lincoln MKC include Black Velvet Metallic, Magnetic Gray Metallic, Palladium White Gold Metallic.

2017 Lincoln MKC Performance

The 2017 Lincoln MKC comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for 240 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That engine can only be matched to a six-speed automatic transmission, but consumers do get to choose between standard front-wheel drive or the available all-wheel driving system. For a little more pop, Lincoln does offer a slightly more powerful 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. When equipped with this engine option, the ’17 Lincoln MKC can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a little over seven seconds.

2017 Lincoln MKC Interior

Consumers who decide to test drive the 2017 Lincoln MKC will quickly find out that thanks to the noise deadening technology used to create the cabin, the new MKC has one of the quietest interiors available on the market. Users will also find knobs and buttons on the dash that can be used to control the Sync 3 infotainment system. This is a stark contrast to the slide controls used with the old MyFord Touch system, which were heavily criticized as being difficult to use and slow to respond. Some of the other luxurious features that come standard in the Lincoln MKC include dual-zone climate control, heated power front seats, leather upholstery, and a nine-speaker sound system that comes with SiriusXM radio.
