2015 Lincoln MKC

Posted on August 28, 2014 by admin

Almost all vehicle manufacturers have their own version of an SUV. And there are about as many different kinds to choose from as there are trucks. Well, this coming year, Lincoln is stepping up to the plate with their new 2015 MKC. This luxury SUV has pulled out all the stops and there are two engine choices. You can choose from either the 2.0L Ecoboost with 240 horsepower or the 2.3L Ecoboost that puts out 285 horsepower. Either engine is coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel that feed all four wheels. With 18MPG city and 26MPG highway, going farther has never been more exciting.

Perhaps one of the best aspects of the new MKC is the interior. Everything inside feels soft to the touch. This is because some of the softest leathers available are used to decorate. The steering wheel has a nice thick grip with easy to use controls. The Approach Detection System with Welcome Mat is a remarkable new feature that has never been seen. As you approach the vehicle, everything starts to light up as if to greet you. An illuminated welcome mat appears on the ground beneath both driver and passenger doors. The door handle pockets even glow in a color that has been tuned to complement the exterior color of the vehicle. This means the lights are different depending on the color car you get.

The Lincoln MKC offers luxury class leading technology with such safety features like blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, brake assist, and Park Out Assist. The Part Out Assist allows the driver to safety pull out of tight parking areas. It’s also the first car from Lincoln to have a remote control app for basic car functions. This will allow you to unlock your car remotely and control cooling and heating. It also has controlled scheduled engine start with climate control. This means if your car has been cooking in the hot sun, you can have your car cooled down before you even step foot inside.

The base starting price is just $33,995. Come in today to your Temple Lincoln dealer to test drive this fantastic SUV.
