The 2018 Lincoln MKC is a luxury compact SUV, offering significant value in a typically pricey segment. Turbo engines, quality interior materials and an improved infotainment system are among this model’s strongest points. Best Value The 2018 Lincoln MKC is a five-passenger compact crossover. It comes in four trims — Premiere, Select, Reserve and Black Label. Standard front-wheel drive, available all-wheel drive, two engine choices and a six-speed automatic transmission give shoppers much to consider. We think shoppers will prefer the Reserve ($40,211). This model comes with the standard engine, a power liftgate, a power tilt-and-telescopic steering column, 12-way power front seats, heated and cooled front seats and a blind spot information system.

Still, there is a Technology Package ($2,043, with adaptive cruise control and collision warning, brake support, forward sensing system, lane keeping system and active park assist) we think is ideal.

This engine sends power to the wheels by means of a six-speed automatic transmission. The Lincoln MKC does not lack for power, regardless of the engine selected. The base engine is also available in the Ford Escape on which this model is based, while the larger engine is exclusive to the MKC (and also used in the Mustang). Upgrading to the larger engine also means all-wheel drive and that makes sense with the added power sent to the wheels. Ride and handling compare favorably to other models in the segment, including the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. The MKC’s sport setting seems firmer than what we’d prefer, while at the same time giving us the grip we want and with little lean of note.
