The MKC was previewed at this year’s Detroit auto show by an eponymous concept that seemed nearly production-ready. Why It Matters: The Lincoln brand is still struggling, and it hasn’t helped that the mainstream Ford brand has launched a wave of attractive, competitive products like the Fusion, Focus, and Escape at affordable prices. Liberally optioned, the Blue Oval’s recent offerings serve up pretty much the same luxury features available in Lincolns. As Ford’s luxury brand, Lincoln needs to begin setting its wares apart in ways beyond loading up its cars with tech and features borrowed from the mothership.

One way to do this is to employ unique styling for its Ford-based offerings—we think the company is making steady progress in this regard—and the other is to introduce more new Lincolns. Currently, none of the brand’s offerings—the new mid-size MKZ sedan, the not-so-new MKX crossover, the out-of-mind MKS sedan, the three-row MKT crossover, and the nearly irrelevant Navigator SUV—offer Lincoln much hope of attracting new and younger buyers. The MKC could change that. Platform: The MKC will ride on the same front-drive-based unibody platform as the Escape. Judging from the test mule in these spy photos, the MKC appears to carry over the Escape’s basic proportions, leaving behind the concept’s tantalizing shapes. It also appears as though the MKC’s roofline is identical to the Escape’s. Subtle differences are possible—after all, Lincoln was able to alter the Fusion’s roof significantly when designing the MKZ—but, overall, it seems the production crossover will lose some of the concept’s aggressive stance and elegant form. What’s clear is that the MKC will get Lincoln’s split-wing grille with horizontal slats, as well as thin headlights and LED taillights.

This prototype’s camouflage also has a zipper line that roughly follows the outline of the MKC concept’s enormous, full-width rear hatch. We hope that detail makes it to production, because it not only looks good, but also makes for a mighty useful cargo-area opening. It’s too early to tell whether the concept’s graceful body-side creases, coke-bottle side-window profile, exhaust treatment, and full-width hatch scallop for the taillights will make the jump to the real deal. Powertrain: Lincoln has yet to reveal what will power the production MKC, but one need only to look over to the Escape’s powertrain options for inspiration. We figure Lincoln will say “no thanks” to the Escape’s base, 2.5-liter four and instead offer the uplevel turbocharged 1.6- and 2.0-liter EcoBoost fours instead. It’s also possible that the 2.0-liter is the sole engine option. Front- and all-wheel-drive options should be available, and the Escape’s six-speed automatic (with pushbutton operation à la MKZ) likely will handle gearchanges. Competition: Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Volkswagen Tiguan.

Estimated Arrival and Price: The MKC should debut before the end of the year before going on sale in early 2014. Considering that the model will be positioned beneath the Ford Edge–based MKX, which starts at $40,470, figure on pricing to open around the low- to mid-$30,000 range.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Lincoln has been designing handsome vehicles lately, and its latest concept is just another example. The Lincoln MKX concept previews what will eventually replace the current-generation midsize crossover, which is starting to look dated next to the newer MKZ sedan and upcoming MKC compact crossover. Additionally, the MKX concept’s debut at the Beijing auto show is yet another sign that Lincoln has big plans for China.

In fact, Lincoln received input from Chinese and American focus groups to guide the MKZ concept’s design. The end result is a crossover that makes the current MKX look rather frumpy. The front end, for example, is a drastic improvement thanks to a more subtle butterfly wing-style grille. The vertical slats give way to a horizontal layout, helping the MKX look wider. The slats also frame the all-LED headlight system, which includes strips of “dynamic” lighting the automaker says “light sequentially as part of Lincoln’s updated approach detection.” We’re sure it looks better in action. The MKX concept’s lower front bumper is relatively simple, with a large, brushed metallic bar that’s used to frame the large side air intakes. Like other Lincolns, the hood features one defining crease in the center that is flanked by other character lines and bulges. The concept’s large 22-inch rims add to the muscular-looking side profile. The prominent haunch starts from the middle of the rear door before blending into the taillight, while simple and straight creases are used for the front fender and lower edges of the door, which are also finished with a chrome-like trim piece.

Turn-signal indictors frame the thin side-view mirror housings, though expect larger units to appear in the production version. In the back, Lincoln’s designers did a good job ensuring the MKX concept isn’t a carbon copy of the MKC. The MKX concept’s taillights are more triangular, while the red bar isn’t quite as integrated as the MKC. A spoiler-like hump helps break up the heft between the hatch glass and the sheetmetal below. The lower rear bumper is also fairly simple, with a black rear diffuser and square exhaust pipes. For now, Lincoln isn’t showing off the MKX concept’s interior. Ford previously announced it would increase the use of knobs and buttons in its cars, so we wonder if Lincoln will do the same, using less of the capacitive touch switchgear that dominates the MKZ sedan. We’re also eager to see whether the next MKX introduces a new version of the MyLincoln Touch, following news that the automaker is cutting ties with Microsoft in favor of a QNX-based infotainment system. QNX serves as the basis for infotainments in other automakers like BMW and Chrysler , both of which usually receive high marks.

Lincoln doesn’t provide the concept’s powertrain details, though the current MKX is powered by a 305-hp 3.7-liter V-6 mated to a six-speed automatic. The next-gen Lincoln MKX could get updated powertrains, including the 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 and hybrid engines currently motivating the MKZ. Lincoln says the MKX concept hints at a “global SUV that will become the third of four all-new” models to arrive by 2016, though it could arrive sooner, which wouldn’t be a bad idea considering the immediate need for fresh product in Lincoln’s lineu Share this article in: Lincoln MKC Overview & Generations - CarsDirect Lincoln MKC Pictures » The Lincoln MKC entered the market just as the compact luxury crossover became the one of the industry's hottest segments. Though it shares a platform with the popular Ford Escape, the MKC is a critical element in Lincoln's plan to reestablish its upscale bona fides, and the mainstream relationship is successfully obscured by high-end design and materials. Among the little Lincoln's nifty details: A stylish tailgate formed from a single piece of metal.

The MKC comes with standard front-wheel drive and optional all-wheel drive. Don't look for a six-cylinder engine under the hood -- Lincoln is also on trend with a pair of turbocharged four-cylinder motors, and MKC buyers choose between standard 2-liter and optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost variants. 2015 - 2017 Lincoln MKC Major changes included: All-new for 2015, the MKC follows Lincoln's usual pattern of sharing a platform with a mainstream Ford model -- in this case, the excellent Ford Escape. Most critics agree, though, that this Lincoln successfully differentiates itself from the Ford, and does a fine job of justifying a premium price. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Two turbocharged four-cylinder engines are offered: the base 2-liter makes a healthy 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, while the optional 2.3-liter churns out 275 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Lincoln Overview Price Range (MSRP): $32,880 (MKC) to $63,515 (Navigator) Lincoln is the premium division of Ford, making more upscale vehicles based on Ford model platforms. There is also plenty of crossover between the two brands when it comes to technology; Lincoln cars feature versions of Sync and MyLincoln Touch. This year, Lincoln is starting to move away from its alphabetic naming conventions by bringing back the Lincoln Continental. Lincoln has two sedans in the lineup. Let’s start with the mid-size MKZ luxury sedan. This year, the MKZ has been given a restyled front-end with a more understated appearance. It has a singular front grille with a unique ogee-mesh pattern. The headlights are squared-off and separated from the grille. Four trims are now available: the Premiere 100A, Select 200A, Reserve 300A, and Black Label 800A.

The MKZ has two engine options: a turbocharged 4-cylinder and a twin-turbocharged V-6. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. The V-6/AWD model is tuned to produce 400-hp, which is 50-hp more than its FWD counterpart. Moving up a size, the all-new Continental is the modern resurrection of its full-size luxury sedan. The Continental is styled similarly to the MKZ as part of Lincoln’s new aesthetic design language. Inside, it features new “Perfect Position Seats” with 30-way adjustability, heating, ventilation, and massage functionality. It is powered by a standard 304-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard, while all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional. Lincoln also builds a full lineup of premium SUVs. The MKC is its smallest, compact SUV that seats 5 passengers. It has a maximum 53.1 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seat folded down.

Powering the MKC is a standard 240-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder. A more powerful 285-hp, turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder is also available. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic. Next is the mid-size MKX luxury crossover. Last year, the MKX was redesigned with more refined looks. Most noticeably, the dual-kidney grille is sized more proportionally and blends into the headlights. It has a larger smile that is sporty and modern. The body creases are sharp and angular, giving it a lean, aerodynamic look. Inside, the MKX features a push-button gear selector for park, reverse, drive, etc. Premium leatherette seating and active noise control come standard. The MKX has two engine options: a standard 300-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 and a more fuel-efficient 335-hp, 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Both are mated to a 6-speed automatic and standard FWD or optional AWD. The full-size MKT luxury crossover seats up to 7 passengers across 3 rows.

Inside, the center stack features a standard SYNC 3 touch multimedia system. Under the hood reveals a standard 303-hp, 3.7-liter V-6. A more powerful 365-hp, twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 EcoBoost is also available. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic and FWD or AWD. The Navigator and the longer Navigator L are powered by a 380-hp, twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 mated to a 6-speed automatic and standard RWD or optional 4-wheel drive (4WD). They seat up to 8 passengers. The MKS sedan has been discontinued. Car Buying Secrets
