Sporty! Drives great and is very comfortable for trips!
I downsized from a large SUV after my children left home. The MKC is the perfect size! It is large enough while still being sporty!

The color is Tahitian pearl a very dark purple.
Our Lincoln is amazing! Performance is great amazing comfort and so easy to drive. I am short and can see out of it very good. I would buy another in a heartbeat.

2015 Lincoln MKC reliability review.
This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It gets good gas mileage and has good pick up for passing. I have owned it for two years and other that basic maintenance I have had to have a shifter cable replaced and that was under $200.00. I would recommend.

I love my Lincoln from its looks to its comfort
My only problem is remembering which buttons to hit to do what I want. Then when I hit a wrong button,I have a problem correcting it.
accountCircle Katie T
The leather and heating and cooling of the seats are pretty awesome
Comfort is amazing, pretty fast for suv, gas mileage is pretty good. It doesn't have the navigation I wanted but I still love it.
accountCircle Mart G
Great interior as well as smooth ride.
I love my Lincoln MKC because it has a smooth ride and low maintenance. The leather seats are supple, heated and cooled which is my favorite part. I like that the lift gate is automatic and there is plenty of storage space in the back. I would definitely buy another Lincoln MKC.
accountCircle Jay E
That is is absolutely as enticing to buy as the commercial suggests it is.
My Lincoln MKC is the most reliable car I have ever owned. It is stylish, great on gas, and luxury at it's best. I have no complaints about my vehicle.

Do not buy this. Overpriced, lots of issues
accountCircle Ginger D
Easy to drive and you can reach anything you load in the back.
Shift controls are next to radio. Too easy to hit. Does not get great gas mileage and hate the color. The seats are the most comfortable I have ever had.
accountCircle Val H
Sleek design but not good if there is more than two passengers!
I love the sleek design and the seating comfort including warmed seats in the back. The trunk also is quite large but the trx console takes too much room and the backseat area is way too tight. The fuel economy is also only average with 22-23 but you may like that the vehicle feels like driving a small truck.
accountCircle Kerra A
Decent for its size and fits car seats well.
I love the features this vehicle has as well as great gas mileage for a smaller SUV. I do wish it was a bit bigger all around for our family of 4. Our children are a little closer so they fight some. It fits two car seats of all sizes very well though!
accountCircle Janeth Abbey
Great and comfortable ride, speakers, cameras starts malfunctioning at only 95km or 4.5 years
As much as I love the smooth drive and safety, I do not expect thinks to start replacing parts at 90k. ACM DCM needs to be ready placed $943, APIM Module needs to be replaced $970, back up Camera$599. What’s next? Would nit expect to be spending these much too soon.

Lincoln's mykey limitations, not fun.
This is a decent vehicle. The features are nice and the ride is comfortable. My biggest complaint has been the mykey limiting features. I purchased the vehicle used and it came with one key fob that had been programmed with the limit settings. To remove limitation you need two key fobs. Cost of a second key has been out of my range thus I suffer with my music levels being decreased and top speed limited.

2015 Lincoln MKC. Symbol showing on the ground at night. Hearing steering wheel.
The sound is different at times which I do not like. I can sound kind of loud, but sometimes it is quiet if that makes sense. I love the comfort and reliability because I have never been stranded and it has never stopped on me. I also have some of the same features I had on my previous Mercedes SUV which is love and is luxury. The steering wheel heats and you are able to see the Lincoln symbol on the ground at night when entering or exiting the vehicle.

The sunroof does not work correctly.
The mirrors do not set right. The sunroof does not open correctly. These things never did work right and they said that is that way the all are. I will not buy another Lincoln. Other than that, it is fairly comfortable, has enough room for our purposes. It is a good size. I just wish it had things that worked correctly on it and I didn't just get excuses.

Lincoln's a great and very reliable and very comfortable car.
I absolutely love our vehicle, it rides so smoothly and is a very comfortable car for a family. Just wish it was a tiny bit bigger but other than that we love it. Easy to drive easy to care for. Sometimes when your riding in it makes you want to take a nap.

Lincoln MKC luxury SUV American proud.
It is great for a first timer to get a luxury SUV. I love my Lincoln MKC. It has heated & cool seats, heated steering wheel. Side mirrors have a sensor that lets you know when a vehicle is close. The driver seat adjusts 10 different positions. The mirrors can be adjusted for 3 different persons. It has navigation system. It has remote starter. It also has sunroof with a moonroof. It a 4 cylinder turbo engine. It drives awesome. At night when you get close to the car the emblem lights up on the ground by the door. All the door handles inside and outside, the board when you open door all lights up. You change the color of the lighting.

likeFilled Tiffany P.

Everything got a huge sunroof the seats go back and forth to you there's lighting in the car that you can change colors it's big enough for me and my family. It's very comfortable and looks very nice. You can start the car before you ever go outside so it will be ready when you are.

likeFilled Lori C.

I love the seats. Out of every car I have ever owned, they are the most comfortable. They provide excellent lumbar support. I also enjoy the heated steering wheel in the winter! The rear heated seats are great for passengers.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Paige T.

Gas mileage is okay for SUV but not as good as hybrid vehicle, as it gets approx 24 mpg. Cost of repair is somewhat expensive, even though it is a domestic car due to 'luxury' status. Considered a crossover SUV, so not as roomy as large SUV.

dislikeFilled Megan W.

Smaller back-seat area than some other vehicles of same size. Softer leather not the most durable depending upon use. Rear view windshield can have some blind spots for driver. Some technical issues of glitches occurring.

dislikeFilled Joni L.

This trim model does not have automatic or push button tailgate lift. It is completely manual, disappointing for a luxury car. The cargo space is minimal. Black interior leather seats do get hot, and black shows dust very easily.

dislikeFilled Tiffany P.

I don't think there are any cons to it. It's a very nice vehicle and I love it. I wouldn't complain about anything about this vehicle id definitely recommend this vehicle to anybody that asks. It's such a great vehicle.

dislikeFilled Lori C.

The one complaint I have is that my car has a small gas tank. When we travel I feel like we have to stop often to fill it up. The cup holders in the back seat could be deeper as we have had issues with cups falling over due to the hole being shallow.

Is The 2015 Lincoln MKC A Good Value?

I paid 21,000 for this car when it had 40,000 miles. I believe this is very cheap compared to most luxury SUVs on the market today, and has been a great value for a luxury car this far.
Paige T.
I bought mine used. I purchased my 2015 in July of 2018. I think I paid $25,000.00. I felt it was a very fair price for the car that I got.
Dawna H.
The cost around $20,000 with under 40000 miles on vehicle which I believe was a decent price for the luxury you get with this vehicle. So far with only having for one year it seems like a good value... Read More
George M.
It honestly can't recall how much it costs. I would say it is a good value, it's a step up from the Ford escape which it is modeled after.
Dallas H.
$33,995 is what the vehicle is listed as. I think that depending on what kind of shape the vehicle is in, the price may be much lower.
