Driving It

Owners' Opinions

MKC owner and KBB.com visitor Albie had this to say about Lincoln's compact luxury SUV: "It gets close to its benchmarks (smaller German SUVs) in most respects. It falls short in a couple of respects (MPGs, transmissions) but makes up for them in other areas (standard equipment, optional technologies)." Read more Lincoln MKC consumer reviews.
