Feels safe n lots of safety features.

Bad mpg, love features heavy safe feeling when driving, good acceleration and brakes. The mileage per gallon is bad at 18.6 but I do not drive much so ok.

Roel G

Enjoying the ride, no problems, when I get another vehicle it will be a Lincoln.

Great performance and the comfort is great for long drives. I really have enjoyed this vehicle above all other vehicle I have owned (jeep, Mazda, dodge) all leather smooth and soft ac/heat work great also has great cargo space when you drop the back seats. Above all when you get a Lincoln you get a prestige warranty where they treat you great just for being a Lincoln owner well at least at my dealership. Only thing I can complain about is the sync its first generation so have hard time connecting with my apple phone otherwise SiriusXM works great nice sound system but not for bumping just good surround sound for good music.

Bells and whistles vehicle.

No problems, reliable, excellent performance, and great features. Best car I have ever owned. Comfortable and roomy with plenty of legroom. Behind second row of seats is ample storage for hauling and moving items. I prefer white or light colored exterior and light interior colors due to heat here in Florida. This automobile rides like a high luxury car and is great on gas.

Rear backup camera and navigation. Blind spot alert.

Very comfortable, quiet and luxurious. No blind spots and alerts when there are cars next to you. Instrument panel is up higher so you do not have to look down.

Lincoln MKC is the best vehicle

Luxury that is impressive. This car is super comfortable and looks sleek. Love the panoramic roof feature. It makes the car feel larger than it is. It drives like a sports car.

Samantha L

I like the liftgate feature.

I love my car because I think it is the perfect size. I am able to fold the seats down which makes for ideal storage. I like that you can change the 'mode' you drive in. I prefer to drive in 'sport mode'. Overall I love the Lincoln MKC, I suggest it to whomever is looking for an SUV that is not oversized yet holds a lot.

Lincoln MKC premiere is luxury and reliability at a great price!

The MKC is very reliable, I have the AWD and it handles beautifully in the snow. Great visibility from all sides. Has a lot of pep! The 2.0 turbo gets moving quick. I switched from a Camry to the MKC and it still amazes me how quickly it gets up to speed. It is very comfortable and luxurious inside, and the infotainment system is easy to use and a great size! I love the size of the vehicle, it is perfect for a small family. We used it to go for a long weekend trip to Ocean City and we comfortably fit 3 girls and all our luggage, plus 2 large coolers in it.

It is comfortable and it has lots of options. It is fully loaded

I like all the options the car has but it is to small I need something bigger

Lincoln MKC review - push button shifter is not all it is cracked up to be.

I hate the gear shifter. It is on the dash and is push button rather than a hand held shifter. The gas tank is also small compared to the size of the vehicle. I feel like I have to fill up constantly. I enjoy the features available for the trim I selected.

Sara W

Lincoln SUV: handles well and accelerates well.

There is an odd thumping sound in the rear roof when opening and closing the door at times. I do not like the switch to park automatically when stopped at a light. It is not smooth in transition. It is a little smaller than my last SUV (Cadillac, a 2011 srx).

Casey Z

The trunk setting where you can position the trunk to arms length when it opens.

The CarPlay does not always work, the leather seats have started to fade from the sun, the car is not good on gas so you have to fill up often, it has a lot of room and is super comfortable, the trunk is very user friendly and you can save the settings for his and her driving preferences.

2018 MKC reserve review. I am very pleased with this vehicle.

I am extremely happy with this vehicle. There is an occasional whistle sound when driving, but otherwise absolutely no problems. The vehicle is comfortable, responsive and well designed. The fit and finish is what one would expect from this type of vehicle.

Jamie C on March 1, 2021

Sleek design with practical features so everyday use.

My vehicle has a lot of added features including a sync system which helps with navigation and allows you to utilize different features within the vehicle hands free. The double sunroof makes the vehicle feel more spacious and gives a lot of added light in the vehicle. It is a very reliable car and I have not had any recalls or mechanical issues. There are multiple settings for driving allowing for a smoother ride, you can switch between comfort and sport mode depending on the driving conditions. The vehicle has sensors that will turn on and off your bright when traveling in low light areas. This feature also shuts off when there is oncoming traffic. The interior has high quality materials used for seats and flooring, the gear shift and start feature are located on the dash so there is nothing in the way in the center console and allows for a larger storage area in center compartment. The vehicle is spacious enough for 4 passengers to travel comfortably and plenty of room in the back. The hatch opens with a swipe of the foot under the bumper so you can open it hands free when loading items in.

Pros from Owners

Julie D.

Pros are that you do not need a set of keys to start the car, voice activated Bluetooth, seat warmers in front and back, automatic lights and a smooth ride. Cons: smaller than expected, hard to clean (vacuum) etc.

Cons from Owners

Julie D.

Smaller than expected and feels like a tight squeeze when the car is full, the gas mileage is not the best unless you fill up with premium. So many controls it can be difficult to locate the simple ones like the emergency lights.
