Overview

The 2017 Lincoln MKC is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Buick Envision, the Audi Q5, and the Volvo XC60. Lincoln offers 4 trims of the MKC in 2017, starting at a base price of $32,720 and going all the way up to a price of $47,880. Its 2.0L Turbocharged Inline-4 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.0 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Lincoln MKC manages to get a combined EPA rating of 21 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 6.8 inches. 

Buying Advice

While all of the trims are nicely equipped, we recommend the Reserve trim for its abundant features, such as ventilated front seats, navigation, blind-spot monitoring, a panoramic sunroof, and a hands-free liftgate.
