Great review! I've owned BMW, and Lexus crossovers, and the Lincoln MKC is definitely my favorite for the money.

As someone who has owned several of the previously mentioned brands, like the Audi A3, Mercedes GLA. In the best trims possible, I find the Lincoln MKC technology impressive. It makes my others feel like relics. It’s hard to believe they are actually newer models.

Great reviews! You are by far the best automotive journalist I've come across on the internet. I'm wondering if you'll be reviewing and Mercedes soon? The GLA? or new S Class coupe?

Always enjoy your reviews, Tom! Also, I recognized that being near Seattle and kept waiting for a parked car license plate to become clear enough to confirm WA plates. Loved the bald eagle!

The MKC exterior really looks great!

And, Mathew Made me buy it. I could not resist. And it is in Tuxedo Black Metallic!

Thanks for the review & I love what Lincoln has done with the brand & where there going with it. Something different from the same BMW, Benz, Audi, Acura, Lexus brands. I agree with you on the name though. They could have continued the "Mark" name on all of there models. I definitely enjoy your reviews & drive time.

Its a compact suv that comes at a sub-compact price. The fact that it drinks regular gas makes the deal even sweeter.

Great as always Tom. Handsome car by the way. If i were in the market id consider it.

Lincoln's need real names. they don't need to emulate BMW or Mercedes names, nor do they need Mark in front of all their names. The Mark name should be reserved for a Luxury Sports Coupe type vehicle like the Mark VII and Mark VIIIs were.

If you’re a big person thinking about getting this car go for it. I’m a hefty 480 5’7 woman and I’m very comfortable in the drivers seat. Mpg could be better. The MKX is favorable too if you want you’re back passengers to have knee room

Like the car, love your reviews you deserve more views.

Great Like always Tom!

I like the Mark prefix too but when Lincoln renamed the Zephyr, they first tried to say call it the "Mark Z" but customers still referred to it as "M-K-Z." I think we have no one to blame but ourselves for that one.

I like the idea of restoring the "Mark" naming structure.

At Costco getting all the toilet paper... How funny is that in 2020!!! 🤣

I love this SUV mine rides so beautifully👍 and the black inside is so nice

There is an antenna fix also as mine had spotty service it is a 2015

The MKC looks sharp in that specific colour. A product that Lincoln can lean on to slowly construct its cachet.

Agreed on the nomenclature.

I really like the pushbutton transmission

Yeah, I thought I would hate it, since the buttons are very large. But no, it's fine!

Yes, I agree that "Mark" would be better than "MK" (ugh).

MKC means its made out of Fords global C platform that spawns the Ford Focus and Ford Escape, both being worlds best handling cars and SUVs in its class among FWD platforms, so I think MKC is a really strong package worth cross shopping as well

Hey Tom, I loved this review. During the Detroit Auto Show did you happen to look at any coverage of the new Lincoln MKX? If so, what do you think about it design-wise, interior and exterior?

I did see it. Looks promising but I never judge a car by photos. They often look different in person. The folks at USA Today seemed to be underwhelmed by the design, saying it was too safe. To me the X looks like a larger C, and I think that disappointed them. We'll see...

Yeah. I don't get it. I think it looks better than the Lexus RX.

Agree on the Naming.

How to figure out what the Lincoln names mean: The C stands for Colony Park (the name for the Mercury wagons), but since Ford got rid of Mercury it had to badge this top of the line wagon a Lincoln. Just as for MKZ the Z stands for Zephyr (former compact sized Mercury name later used on a compact Lincoln that came before this). For MKS the S stands for Sable (both the MKS and the Mercury Sable were based on the Taurus of their day), For MKT the T stands for Town Car (this is now the vehicle now used as a Limo). The X in MKX just stands for crossover (MKM for Mountaineer I guess did not sound acceptable).

Actually when the MKZ was introduced, the first to bear the designation MK, it was to be called the Mark C. However, within a short time this was abandoned in favor of the current pronunciation.

Yeah, very briefly, there was some confusion whether it was "MK" or Mark". The graphic on the car appeared "Mk Z". I called Ford, they told me it was "MK" and that it was never "Mark". I believe "Mark" is more distinctive. Just saying.

I'd definitely prefer the Mark prefix instead of the MK whatevers - it's so confusing.

+Driven Car Reviews I was impressed with the way MKC drove and handled at a Lincoln event. But a little small and as you say, the 2.3 is character-less. Given the looks and adult-size of the MKX, would love to get your take on the 3.7L V-6.

there is actually 2 eagles

YES, ALL I WANT TO KNOW AM GOING TO GET ONE. .JUST TELL ME YES OR NO.

Not a vehicle segment that especially suits a Lincoln. Ford might done better to have developed a crazy high performance Escape as this... or made this a 2dr or convertible.

Especially if Lincoln is aiming for a younger demographic that typically want "sport" in their luxury. Just ask Audi.

The MKC competes with the Audi Q3 not the Q5...

@brucec43

Except it's about the size of the Q5 in cargo room and probably passenger room as well. It's quicker in some versions than the 2.0t version of the Audi. And it handles well in top form. It can hang with it just fine.

No accounting for car naming schemes anymore. And by the way, Lincoln IS Ford. It just is. How can it not be what it is? Lincoln is Ford. This is not indictment or praise, it just is.

Turkey as in the country, genius.

The first thing Lincoln has to do is - Re-do the names for their cars. MKA, MkB, MKc.. what kind of names the are?? Did a kindergartner chose names?

Hung up on labeling really? Mercedes new car labeling is just as bad. I think there more confusing.

Personality from the engine. Can you provide me with more useless information? People are looking for a car that works and doesn't fall apart like a Ford

More then change their name, they need to instill more fun into the equation. Theyre vehicles dont project any type of performance the way Audi, BMW and MB and even Cadillac and Lexus do. Bring some RWD fun back and maybe add the Mark name back as well and then Lincoln could be on its way to really competing in the luxury class again.

I could but I hate seeing a old American make like Lincoln struggle the way it has. MKC shouldn't be RWD but the cars could and should. That or just make them all AWD to mitigate the FWD architecture like Audi does.. Acura has tried the FWD thing and their sales are nowhere near the others I mentioned even with a sporty persona. Sales show that consumers prefer their luxury cars RWD or AWD
